Ooops!! 6K !! What a surprise!!
I have just seen that my counter reached and very fast passed the 6K line today!
God! How fast time flyes even if we try to control it with our beloved watches!
I felt this 6K milestone though far from the many K´s some colleagues detent, deserves a few lines thanking all the nice and kind friends here who welcomed me a little more than four years ago, and let me participate even if my horological knowledge was (is) so distant from the average level we find in PuristS posts.
During these years I had the good fortune and honor of meeting some of these friends in person, with many of them I had not that pleasure yet but with all I feel like we are old friends sharing a similar common passion.
I can´t believe how much I learned during these four years thanks of the generosity of PuristS members sharing their knowledge. Both about watches, about photography and about far places were you my friends live or visit. I also discovered how big the Horological theme is and how many things I need to learn, study and explore.
I also came to know about watches I never dreamed of or had listened about before, and learned to view (and desire, and in several cases purchased) watches that I had never paid the attention they really deserved.
So these lines are to Thank you all so much for your friendship, your good humor, your knowledge, your considering me another colleague in passion, and to say how much I enjoy and feel at home in this wonderful place.
Thank you guys!!
All the best,
Abel.
My signature watch and companion for almost 40 years now...
