Team, First of all, I want to say a very warm thank you to this community that makes our hobby so interesting and fun, at the same time Pursuing integrity and perfection in an imperfect world . I arrived here long time ago (five-six years? I don't ...
I love seeing inside watches, without incurring the stress of taking them apart and having to put them back together again. That makes me a hack watch repairman, but a willing voyeur Cheers Cazalea
But I prefer to see the pictures. I'm very stressed when my watchmaker is playing with a watch. I keep thinking "now he go to drop this tiny screw and ...". Cheers, Nilo
Than you for this "Vintage" Ingenieur report and thank you for your contribution here! :) I fully agree with you about your perception of PuristS! That is why I started to post here. Huge congrats on your (first) 3K, my friend! Best Blomman PS. Here is a ...
We all share similar unique feeling of joy and blessings that we have our little global Shagri-La. Thank you for all wonderful pictures and for not letting robbers put you down and made you endure with your crazy idea "Since then, no more watches , no mor...
... you produced to celebrate this milestone. I enjoy so much your posts and awesome photography, and I wish you will keep posting for many, many more K´s! I share your feelings for watches and for the Spirit of a true Purist! Receive my best cordial rega...
It's great to know you and again thank you for some of the photography tips.... I'm still nowhere near your standard but I'm understanding more and more. I agree that this is the finest and friendliest site of any I know and I'm pleased to have found it t...
Nicolas, Along those 3000 posts, your influence on my watch taste is noticeable. Before I arrived here, JLC was an unknown, Reverso was a ladies watch, UN, GP were not on my radar and Blancpain was ... some sort of French brand! How the quality time that ...
I always appreciate your contributions (especially your photos), and this post didn't let me down. I have the cousin (the blue Laureus edition) to your newly acquired Inge, and I love it as well. Thanks for all of the information that you gave, very inter...
On your 3000 posts, your consistently excellent photography, and this wonderful acquisition! All the best, and looking forward to many more posts, Gary
Because of your captivating photographs and always uplifting experiences. May these 3000 posts be only but a fraction of what is yet to come. Congrats on the Ingenieur! Cheers, Alex
Warm thank you for your support and by the fact that you bring balance to the Purists. It was a shame that the Stones didn't performed "Beast of Burden". Cheers, Nilo
on hitting 3K and the new IWC. Thoroughly enjoyed your various posts on watches, food and photography ( your wrist scans are legendary ). Thank You. All the best and to your next 3K . Cheers,dreamer
Congrats for the milestone, and of course for the beautiful IWC. A very nice watch, simple and elegant, I like it. And thanks for sharing with us, this post and the other 2999. :) cheers vte
and thanks for your great post and all your photos!! I do not even cared for that watch in the metal but your post makes it look like the most desirable IWC of all! Best Andreas
Very nice piece, Nilo. Quite a headscratcher for me. Watches like this should be a mainstay in their Ingenieur line. The new ones in that catalog are just too way out there for me. Congrats and thanks! I follow your Zenith forum quite closely and hope you...
Reading your lines strikes a chord in me ..c What a lovely, gentlemanly reading ! - Thus again, my congratulations to ( over) 3000 now and Thanks for pleasureful pics and read ! Best, Hs
... the amount to pay for a secondhand 205 GTI :-) ... . I always wondered whether you have the coolest watches or take the best pictures my friend :-) . Each watch you post here makes me long for an equal example, but i suspect your photographic skills a...
About my watches, you should notice that I flip watches more than my under pants!!! Its because I'm not a collector but a watch lover and I like to try a lot. About photo skills, they are trivial those days. Just read a little and shoot a lot. That's the ...
Congratulations on this milestone, Nilo, and what a fabulous way to mark it with a special watch and an informative post. You pick out many of the reasons that makes PuristS a special community to me too. Very pleased to share the time with you here. Look...
We are very lucky to have you amongst us! That's one of my favorite IWC models! :-) I guess my post should've been entitled "double congrats!" LOL! Cheers, my friend! Daos
May I add my congratulations to you on both accounts :) The IWC, like you mentioned "flies under the radar & does what a watch should do" perfect on both accounts. I shall also start to use your words, when explaining to my wife, "Why I would like to ...
Further point to commonalities in watch movements...to be frank, for the regular range of watches by all brands...I, like you, do not care about potential ETA etc "influences". Taking a leaf from car industry...I drove a BMW 525 that used ZF gearbox that ...
