I agree AV.
You hit the nail on the head. We have something real special with Dr. Mao, PuristSPro, ThePuristS and all the moderators. I am proud to be a learning member who has also been advised by Dr. Mao on a few purchases.
IGOTT2 was a great event. Could you ever imagine learning so much and meeting so many independent watchmakers, manufactures representatives, industry legends and PuristS in one place. Job well done.
I look forward to IGOTT3.
Many thanks,
JerryW
Thanks for finding my camera AV.
A tribute to friendship--a living example of a Purists' piece unique
While waiting in McCarran airport, I'm reflecting on the wonderful experience of IGOTT2 and recalling with fond memories the original IGOTT and subsequent Tempus in Singapore. I feel truly blessed to attend these events, and even more thankful over the ne...
Well said AV......

Dr Mao and the moderators are among the nicest people one will ever meet. They are so friendly and helpful.

I couldn't agree more with the substance of this post. Dr. Mao rocks my world. Great gentleman, great dude. May you live a long and healthy life.
Very kind of you, AV, but of course...
nothing exists in a vacuum and it is friends like you that allow me to stay from the dangerous edge of cynicism. Thank you, and thanks to all the moderators and wonderful community that make up PuristSPro. I've just been particularly fortunate to have had...

Wonderfully said!
Thanks for so eloquently helping those of us who cannot fully express how much we appreciate our "piece unique". It was so nice to meet the both of you!
Well said, AV...
He's a super guy with no pretense or lofty airs despite being the creative force behind this wonderful group. Thomas, are you blushing now?
Thank you, AV, for that wonderful note.
I cannot speak for TM, but I can only imagine that it touches him deeply. Having had the pleasure of meeting you in person several times now in LA, and most recently at IGOTT2, I can say that you too are a generous person who truly understands what it mea...
Indeed
AV, I concur. As PuristS, we seek perfection in an imperfect world but we are not so naive as to believe people are flawless. Dr Mao is overall a 'good egg'. Regards, MTF
Very nicely said.
The PuristS are in major part a society of people trying to do good things without worrying about getting credit for it. That ethos permeates our gatherings, both in person and electronic, and is very refreshing. Thomas is really the one who made it that ...
Thank you AV...
Thank you my friend for putting everything into "context" and I hope that everyone looks at the larger overall picture instead of focusing on some small insignificant aspect and blowing it out of proportion.
i agree with you completely, av!
and i'd like to add - that you're a great friend too! thanks for all!
