This is a great watch, my friend. The 8 Days perpetual is one of my fav PCs.

I LOVE the combination of a 8 Days movement with a PC. And this one is really cool. Best, Nicolas

Bro, I could see the 8 days PC's poison seeping in you :)

His sharing was fantastic! Not just on JLC but his journey on collecting and making friends along the way. some of the stories he shared were so heartwarming. That's why we love our hobby I guess! Cheers Robin

Thank you Robin for sharing these lovely photos and JLC Singapore for organizing this get together. It was an eye opener for me and I particularly enjoyed Stefan's story of how he acquired his memovox.

Glad you enjoyed that evening shihui
