Introducing WatchProSite Digest — 20 Years of Collector Knowledge, Curated For nearly two decades, this community has produced some of the most thoughtful, detailed, and passionate writing about watches anywhere on the internet. Reviews that go deeper tha...  

Thank you Salman. Very much appreciated. There is an enormous amount of collector knowledge tucked away in these forums, and I am excited to finally give it a proper showcase. I hope you enjoy exploring it. Bill

And I’m sure I’ll read a lot. As you said, so much info was written here and indeed, when it’s long ago it sometimes disappears and is even difficult to find using search engines like Google.

That was one of the driving ideas from the start. Some of the finest material on WatchProSite was hiding in plain sight, but unless you knew exactly where to look, it could be very difficult to rediscover. If Digest helps solve that problem even a little,... 

I am grateful you took the time to respond. The whole idea is to honor the work members have already done by making it easier to find, read, and enjoy again. I hope it proves both useful and fun. Bill

This includes a big thank you to the many many members that release such quality posts, and which includes reviews and photos alike (not forgetting everyone who continue to share their passion and make this a wonderful, warm, civil and fun place to celebr... 

You are absolutely right to point the spotlight back to the members. The Digest only works because this community created something worth curating in the first place. The reviews, the photos, the debates, the generosity... that is the real treasure here. ... 

We’ve all noticed some great older threads being revived over the last year or two here, and seeing those threads always encouraged further searching and reading. The wealth of independent watchmaker knowledge that was shared here in the 2000s and early 2... 

That is exactly the hope behind this. We have all seen those older threads resurface from time to time and they still feel fresh because the substance is so strong. So much of that early writing, especially around independents, was done by people with rea... 

I appreciate the support. There is a tremendous amount of material here that deserves a wider audience and a better path to discovery. I hope this becomes a useful doorway back into some remarkable threads. Bill

Thank you so much for your efforts 🙏

Just tried it out and it works perfectly.

Thank you for the work that went into making this available to the community.

develop wonderful friendships.. There are not enough thank yous to go around. With respect and sincerity , Tony

That means a lot to me. You put your finger on the most important part of all this. The watches brought us together, but the friendships are what gave the whole thing its soul. If the Digest helps more people discover not just the knowledge here but also ... 

Like many others, I found this platform when researching about a watch i wanted to purchase. Amazing treasure trove of knowledge, and such research and writings must be archived well to ensure they're easily accessible. Thank you so much Bill, for making ... 

As a well known F1 driver would say " Simply Lovely". Marc

Thank you very much for creating this archive. The knowledge accumulated and encapsulated therein must be astounding.

It brings back memories of my tour of Piaget and the email I received from you. It was an experience I’ll never forget! Thank you again so much for the experience and your continued efforts maintaining and improving the forum.
