Thank You my Friend...
Your posts and insights were and are a tremendous help in better understanding horology, especially in better understanding Seiko for which I am ever grateful. I've known you from our virtual world for over 12 years, if you remember from our pen collecting days before the watch addition set in 
I wish you the best in all and hope that you keep sharing your insights and watch collection with us.
Be Well and See you Soon,

I am no longer a moderator on this site
This morning I received an unexpected notice from PuristSPro management that I am not longer a moderator, effective immediately. From 2006 to now, from ThePuristS to PuristSPro, it was all great fun. It was one of the factors in helping hone my horologica...
I'm glad to have made your acquaintance Sir
Or else I would never have known the lost art of peanut polishing. ;-) - SJX

Sorry to hear

This is certainly surprising.
Here's to all those nice and wonderful Cartier post that change my perception of the brand from a trendy jewelry maker to a serious horology manufacturer. Farewell and wish you all the success on your next venture. Regard Tyler aka Agent T

Thank you SJX-san,
It’s not difficult to find passionate amateur but very scarce to find ardent and well educated journalist in this field. The reason is very simple: It needs diligence, budget and manner. Fortunately you have all. This time, Chronos Japan covers talk sessi...

Met you once in L'atelier @ION and showed you my Grand Seiko :-) Hope to see you again in the future

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...as Dickens would say
Whilst I am sad to see you depart as a Mod, I am also glad to see you move on to other priorities, I am certain to more worthwhile and rewarding priorities. Beyond the cursory goodbye here, I strongly urge you to stay within the Purists "family" and I sin...

Sorry to hear that, SJX
But there's always a lot more we can learn from you even without the official titles. I've enjoyed reading your posts and you've helped me learn about Cartier from knowing almost nothing about them. I do hope to meet you across the causeway someday very s...
Dear Jia Xian, they say when a door closes, another will open.
