Damjan, I was going to thank Arie in the thread when Nicolas gets his watch.
This particular thread was for the members who donated their money to the cause. Arie asked us to donate money to cancer, but I could only start with this project. One thing at a time for me.
I am not sure how the information came to you, as you did not contribute on the project at all. Did Arie tell you he sourced the watch, and was not given thanks for his doing so?
Everyone else involved with this project has asked for nothing in return. Arie will be credited in another thread, and now here, so double credit for Arie.
Do not ever worry about MichaelC not doing the right thing.
Nicolas, get your corks ready!! You new Rolex Air King is inbound
Good trumps evil. This time, every time. Nicolas' new Rolex was recently stolen on vacation. A special group of PuristS has stepped up and contributed to replace the watch. Thanks to the generosity of the names on this list, the new Air King has been purc...

... participating members of course. I feel so moved with this. Nicolas you deserve it so much! Enjoy it so much my dear friend! All the best Friends! Abel.
Credit where it is due....big shout out to Arie who in the end got best deal and purchased the watch!
Sad that Nicolas couldn't pick it up in Zagreb last weekend due to his work obligations....but Paris is not far away.... and Purist friends are indeed everywhere. Bravo guys!!! All for one and one for all Cheers D
Ah, so it was Arie who handled . . .
. . . the nuts 'n bolts operation! Good to know . . .
Guys, please be patient. This project is not completed yet.
All will happen in in due time. @mr Ares. What ever you have “heard on the pipes”. Please be so kind to keep that to yourself. Thank you.
Heard on the pipes or through grapevine?
Have I lied? We are all friends here right...or some are more privileged than others? Cheers D

Lately I worry to much and no Arie is not that kind of guy...although I would be happiest man alive if we cure cancer... Cheers D
Thanks to Michael and Christian
for their efforts. It was sick and sad to learn what happened to Nicolas but what a great community which got together to right a wrong. Cheers! SF
I too would like to thank Christian and Michael for organising this.
We are all better for Nico's contributions (most of the time!!). Nicolas, enjoy this and let it remind you of your friends around the world. Have a puff......!
