5k.. Time for a bit of reflection.. And a little personal history here..

 

Hello All !

I just - more coincidence than systemtically checking - am realizing I have been quietly approaching
the 5k - mark; 5000 comments and posts, many nice interactions here in this forum & platform,
and some other under other PProS fora, as well.

All this world here early-on ,has been pretty far away, when I started looking and lurking here,
some 4- 5 years ago;
- 5 years are quite a time, but still these months have been flying - so let me just say
to many, to all here, who have welcomed me & interacted with me in this cyber domain
a full-hearted thank you..

Special thanks goes to some individuals, friends meanwhile - Nico, Blomman & Baron, who have been so very helpful, and supportive and to many, who have written to me,
or dropped me a line & sometimes a .

Dear friends & Purists here, without you, in this internet based forum, this would have not been possible ;
these interactions, by chatting, by discussing, by sharing have achieved quite a bit for me !..

But most of all, thanks to the wonderful posts, notes, pictures, I have been learning a lot
and I still do..

Well, enough rambling, I just thought, I 'll share some of my watches, for each of the years,
I have been spending here !..

It all started around in
- late 2010, when one of the community watches, iconic to here, the Tribute To Polaris,
TTP 68 had been issued the year before; I was already trying to apprehend the soul of this watch,
and it's role for some, and it's pleasure for me, fostered by the superb spirit here;

And as I then got this watch ( at that time not yet fully aware of the Ins & Outs in this community here), I soon
felt encouraged to communicate and pick up interesting and valuable information..
- I increasingly enjoyed it here by reading, looking and soon was starting to
exchange some short comments and posts.

So, just let me list and share, some of the watches for those years, between 2010 and now, 2014

- These are not all, maybe not completely representative ,
but some time-pieces fitting my theme(s), and I guess, the 5k - though not important -
makes me reflect a bit.

I thought of including one or two for each year, (not all my tic-tacs during that time-span),
but as explained some with sort of characteristics of my journey taken..

2010 - The humble beginnings:

Most of it all started for me with the TT Polaris '68:

My early interest and still a focus has been the JLC Memovox theme; also with patience, luck and lots of
good advice from friends, it has been becoming a nice little assembly for me..

Thus, here an example from the funky 70ies, actually my first Vintage (J)LC

The year 2011 - An intense & hilarious year all around:

The year 2012 - deepening the passion:

The year 2013 - Consolidation and such:

The year 2014 - The awakening & continuation of Rolex desire:

To come to an end - hope it didn't bore you:
- Thank you for having me here,
thank you very much !

Best, hs
