Thanks Nicolas!
What an enjoyable read. I must admit, next year I am in Florida for a family wedding the day before IGOTT2 begins. My wife was on the fence about crisscrossing back to Vegas on such short order. I told her Vlad and the boys would all be there and I was not going to miss it. So we will be there, and really look forward to meeting you my friend 
POTW - Vlad Dracul!...
[Fellow tragics: AndrewD may be travelling, but being the thoughtful moderator that he is, he has taken steps to ensure that we do not suffer too much by his absence. It seems that he had his next ‘Purist Of The Week’ post all ready to file, and it has tu...
Eeeerm, this is a good one hermano!
Cracking me up as I type. Things are going crazy here whilst Andrew is away?
Looks like your watch stopped pplater....
Halloween was last week, and Vlad, has put a curse on you! -- Richard. This message has been edited by =RWK= on 2010-11-05 19:24:43
?????...
Which watch do you mean, Richard? It is of course true, though, that Hallowe'en was last week - it's really a sort of end of year (end of days?) 'office party' for Vlad. You have to be very careful indeed if Vlad comes to your door and asks "trick or trea...
Please allow me to make a few vorrections ( Corrections, in Carpathian ).
1/ My platinum Tribute to Comex 49 Fathoms is not from July 64, but from December 64. My friend the Devil is indeed in the detail. 2/ I only buy watches in the night time. The sun is not my best friend. I always try to choose the watch which will best mat...
Sorry Vlad...No, Vlad, N-O-O-O-O!!!....
Please.... Don't do it.... Please!... Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!..... > > > > > "Vheers", pplater....
That reminds me...
..of some of the nuns in Parochial/Catholic grade school. Yow!! Bad to da bone....
That was priceless...
Laughing as I read and drinking coffee was a bit difficult. You covered Vlad better than a polyester pantsuit ... Thank you..
OMG!!! I am stunned...
How big is that bedside table of yours? One for watches and one for straps no doubt. This post has made my day. Thank you Nicolas. Regards, Richard.
ROFLMAO. the funniest thing i've read for months and yet so true
just one slight correction. having a heart like an Atmos obviously takes its toll as Vlad is in fact 3 months younger than me. who'd believe it a brilliantly funny post from the forums busiest member. the freakieeeeeee englishman wishes you well my friend...
Thanks Idiomea, and as Vlad might say...
... vellkom heeeeeeer! If you are new to these pages, you may not know that the Purist Of The Week series is an initiative recently introduced by our energetic moderator, AndrewD, to enable us to get to know each other a little better. If you are interest...
I think...
I might have a hernia from laughing so hard. I am sure that I just woke up the family (it is 5:00 in the morning here). Thanks for the fantastic profile! --Sancerre
Badda Bing, Badda Boom...
congratulations Nicolas. well deserved in another long line of acquisitions, this time merely a moniker, POTW. can you wear that on your wrist? surely you'll figure out a way. cheers, elliot
Never play poker . . .
. . . with a man named 'Doc', never get involved with a woman that has more problems than you can handle, and never follow Vlad Dracul as POTW - it's an impossible act to match! Thank you, pplater. Cordially, Art
Plus another cardinal rule, Art...
Never hit on a moving target ;-)! Hope all is well! Take care, Alex
Roger that! All is well, Alex . . .
. . . and hope to see you soon. Warmest regards, Art
All ths is true ????
What a splendid post PP ... i laughed my butt off ... Anyway, there is a lot of truth in this story .... . Thanks for the entertaining stuff. Filip
What a fun read!
Thanks Nico and pplater. This is one for the archives. Too many gems. I like your uncles and the which watch to wear dilemma is so elegantly resolved. Such an enjoyable post for the tragics!
Fantastic; and all is true!!! :)
PPlater and Nicolas – great read! It made my day! And best of all - now we know who is the real Vlad Dracula! Best, my friends! Blomman...
Very nice read...
really hilarious I must say. Thanks for the work, pplater, simply brillant! Best, Goh
This one's a classic!!!
I am cracking up over here with your post, pplater! One for the ages for sure!! Thanks for the laugh! Alex
There's clearly more than a vein of truth in all this, Vlad, even though
...it appears you've sucked all the veins dry! This was brilliant, mon cher confrere! Thanks for the laugh! Best, CaliforniaJed
Reign declares this Post of the Week! :-)
He, of course, is a bit perturbed by Filip's oddly hairless cat(?) which he's never encountered in the wilds of Burbank, where we live, but is otherwise very amused! I read this post during my lunch break and had to stifle a laugh, as my co-workers were n...
Daos, the cat actually...
Daos, the cat actually belongs to a friend of Filips, a true gastronome of exquisite taste. when he made tea it wasnt a tea bag in a mug, but a chinese tea set and 10 year old smoked tea bought from a specialist retailer. an experience if ever i had one e...
Sounds like some great tea!
The cat is very unusual. It reminds me of Mr. Bigglesworth from Austin Powers. Cheers, Daos
reading this weekly POTW becomes addicted to me...
... well done, pplater, another great POTW is posted here again. you guys really know how to make this place more fun than days before. by the way, Nico, reading this post about you not only gives us entertaining time, but also let us understand you more ...
it was taken from...
... Singapore Universal Studio two months ago. two more pics here......
lots of lawyers on this forum
Mr Amanico, and Mr. Forvesta. Including my self (well i'm not really a lawyer, still a law student but close enough ) Good to see that most lawyers share a common interest! Congrats on being POTW Mr Amanico, truly well deserved. I have always enjoyed read...
Well, Mr Foversta is not, but pplater shares this quality with some of us. :)
Now you know what lawyers do during the working days! Best, Mon Futur Cher Confrère. Nicolas
apologies
i read some where that mr fovresta was a criminal defence lawyer hopefully in the not too distant future i will also be paid in watches by my clients
Attention to detail
A great post in the main and I must also applaud the high attention to detail in providing the disclaimer! Very well done.
Nicholas, absolutely brilliant............
You have greatly helped to brighten up a somewhat grey and rainy Friday morning here in the South West of the UK. I think that you may have missed your vocation?? Perhaps a "Stand up Comedian" or a Script Writer may be more appropriate!
It is true, I missed my vocation, but on this one, pplater is to congratulate, not me.
Looks like pplater too missed his vocation! Best, Nicolas
He He He :-) LOL :-)
What an intro, and so much seems to be true Best laugh for a long time Best Hans...
Thanks Nicolas!

hhhaa
great post...very clever!!! may I clerk for you and wear that AP EOT during business hours??
if you are trying to learn my native language
Then you have made excellent progress. Cheers! amerix
Thanks a lot for the encouraging words, Amerix.
No diresspect, just fun, my friend. Best, Nicocul.

Used Google Translate. ;-)
Well, I think we need a new tab on the header bar...
for "Best of the Best" Purists posts. It's nice to know that we all take it in stride, and that there is only a kernel of truth to it. I think the pic of all the watches is actually Nicolas' mattress-filler (he ripped out all the down feathers). Thanks fo...
Tremendous writing and presentation!
It also gives me the opportunity to keep my mouth shut - unless for drinking something dark red - thus leaving my fangs unexposed and prepared for some serious writing - sorry, I meant biting. The best of the best - is you! amerix
Great POTW.
Made for a great Friday. Always fun to hang out with all you PuristS. JerryW
The greatest POTW ever
Very funny and entertaining. Thanks amanico and pplater for one of the best posts ever. Regards, ED-209
Simply hilarious !!
Pplater & Nico, both of you reminded me, lawyers can be funny A really fun and easy read interview. Answer to Q.9 was really ticklish, So, Nico,did he pay you with the EOT? Kong
I always mess with EOT...
To me it is naturally End Of Time.. My biggest dream, a promising orgy of necks. Naaah, none of my clients paid me in watches, I don't want to E.I.J 5 End In Jail ). Best, Nicolas
Post of the Year!
PPlater, you have hit the nail on the head! Laughed out loud a dozen times. The photo of the warehouse full of boxes is an immediate classic (and looks like the storage space next to my garage where I keep my boxes of watch boxes, only 10,000 times more e...
I knew I should have hidden those matches ...
Superb post in a long line of memorable posts. Thanks for keeping up the POTW series while I was gone. Perhaps hard to beat, but I have another POTW for you next week that you will love ... Andrew
