Horological Meandering

This week a few of us managed to get together for a few stolen hours indulging ourselves with some beautiful gems and conversation. Guest of honour was Blomman who made a flying visit to our rainy shores. A few of us die hards wangled some time off in the...  

Ubik (Is from the Philip K. Dick's book?), Thanks for sharing. I believe that over the table there are the most desired watches around (bar Vlad's) Cheers, Nilo

i would love to have been there, but i was probably washing my hair that day

I thought it was too long to wash?

Will you be going to Paris or the big London GTG. When are you down in the big smoke next?...  

i'll be at both Eitan and can pretty much get up to London whenever asked if there's a small gtg going on best G...  

Was on to write you and Joe and Imran to take some news. But sometimes, real life doesn't allow us to do what we would love to do. I feel a next opportunity will come soon. Anyway, friends, friendly watches, and great moments are always a pleasure to see,... 

I can admire lots of great watches. What a collection! REally thanks for sharing these great moments of watches and friendship. I know, i know... I need a new GTG in my life, again Best Emilio

The date is confirm, Nico? If it´s so, the 21st of April will be perfect (work days are more difficult for me, but the weekend is perfect) Tell me all about this Paris GTG, hermano. I´ll start to organize it, hermano!!!! Very best, my dear Nico Emilio

Es un Sabado, Lobato. Nos divertiremos todo el dia, y de juerga por la noche, si te apetece. Dime todo. Un abrazo. Nicolas

You know that I don´t visit my beloved Paris since some time ago, I love this city. I´m going to start to check the travel and the hotel A great weekend it´ll be, I´m sure, herman And I will be able to show you my only watch now... since some years with a...  

This was the very one with which I started my journey into watches... So, yes, it is an important one for me. Happy to see that you finally made this dive into GMT! Best, Hermano, y ... Hasta pronto! Nicolas

... you're not alone in these hard days ... Poor Bim

You´ll never walk alone! Hard years, hermano. But the secret is in the adaptation to the change (adaptarse al cambio, en español ) I´m happy because soon I´ll meet again a my dear friends. and thanks for your congrats, my dear wife LOL... 

your presence was with us - even if your watches were not. So hopefully we can meet again soon, my friend.

Can you come on the 21st of April? Let me know, please. All the best, Nicolas

It was indeed a fabulous day. Yes.....10/10 for Bloman for making the trip over...that is true passion.....and most definitely a Bastardo. Is it my imagination, or is Imran's wrist getting bigger?

Irman is doing very well these days. That is what you need to wear a 372. Best, my friend, and hope to see you soon! Nico

It's nice to have our horizons broadened, our preconceptions challenged and our eyes opened. It's the best part of PuristS too; seeing watches through the eyes of other passionate collectors. Andrew

With a gang of Bastardo's like this... …you lose yourself! Best Blomman

These GTGs are great, you always come out somehow shocked, but also energized and with some new challenges, keeps us going! Hope to see you in Paris in the Spring! Matt

With a big smile on your face! Best Blomman

sure you guys had a great time!...and great watches... That Polaris trio...the antimagnetic theme, that stunning Explorer! also the PCG 1675, ah when you encounter some of the best of vintage Rolex!... Matt

So perhaps in Paris? I know you have a taste for vintage sweets.

always a pleasure to discover the Vintage side......a wild one for sure... Mo

I fell in love with your blues and stars a long time ago.

and a lot of watches! Nice to see the pics, even from a non-vintage guy there are some nice looking timepieces there! Cheers Andrew

watches later on. Something for everyone.

Thank you.
