A gathering of PuristS in Singapore (again!) :)
Our PuristS Singapore gang has not met up for some time as many of us have been busy the first few months of 2015. We finally got to meet up again tonight Some watches here to share. The diversity from brands to complications to price ranges to modern vs ...
Aah, I could have bet on Stefan's JLC Ref 24000! Stunning.
Once again, a beautiful GTG with an awesome diversity. Bravo, Guys! Best, Nicolas
Stefan has a crazy collection
Of vintage JLCs... He is the Vlad of Singapore. Becos of him (and you Vlad), I got my first JLC and the next one and next one and next one.... Cheers Robin
This time a Japanese restaurant - sounds good.
When looking at the pictures, I am thinking if I should pick a a very rare and seldom seen watch and bring it we to Singapore. Something very special... I do not know because the pick up would take 2 full days. And on 17th I'm flying to Singapore. On the ...
whatever you bring along Kari!
It\'s the company that counts! We look forward to seeing you again!! Cheers Robin
What is the two tone watch with the steel bracelet?
Very handsome! It looks like maybe a Seiko? (All are gorgeous, just very curious about that one.)
I think you were referring
To the Cartier Tank? It\'s a vintage one from the 70s Belonged to kpk\'s dad. Cheers Robin
Robin-I meant the watch to the left of the tank
in the second pic from the top. I love the tank, I'd recognize it anywhere :) Guess I should have been more clear since there are two two-tone watches with SS bracelets. Best, Brad
Think it was the light's reflection
There was only 1 two tone watch that night and it was the cartier Still not very sure which is the 2nd watch from the left :p The bell and Ross? The rolex GMT master or the patek 5146 annual calendar? The bracelet must be the rolex gmt master which was al...
Ok let me try to do better!
It's the one with the stainless bracelet, not the Patek, Rollie, or Tank. The bracelet is 7 links wide, dial has arabic numerals, date at 3, looks like power reserve indicator at 10:30, maybe central seconds?? Thanks for your help despite my terrible dire...
I finally got it Brad! :)
Sorry I was trying to take your directions but I was looking at the wrong pic (the one with more watches on the tray). The picture you referred to was when this watch was to the left of the Cartier Yes I indeed forgot there was another 2 tone watch that n...
Thank you! Do you happen to have a ref no.?
I tried a couple of searches but Seiko makes so much I don't know if I'd ever find it :) It looks even better up close! Thanks again Robin Best, Brad
Brad, that is my Seiko. I was at the GTG. I will try and take more
pics and send you later. I will check whether there is a reference number on the caseback. Glad you like this piece.
Lucky Robin, your life seems to be......
an eternal holiday;) good on you mate! Great watches on display, looks like a lot of fun. That JLC is fantastic and a chronometre at that! Cheers Francois
Eternal holiday?!
I had to go back to the office for a conference call after the gtg! :p The folks were so kind to meet at a restaurant literally 2 mins from my office. Cheers Robin
Get-togethers are the best part . . .
. . . of being a Purist! Thanks for sharing, Robin; you've sparked planning for the next alphabet soup gang g-t-g at our secret San Fernando Valley watering hole. Best, Art
Hi Robin, the most interesting one to me is...
the patek 5296 with railway track !! How does it look in the metal ? Glad you SG PuristS had a great time. cheers, Gordon
Super nice bro!
Pls share more pics on a new thread when you have some time bro! This is your new incoming and many here would love to share your joy Thanks for joining us that night Cheers Robin
Thanks Robin!
for your superb post, the pics, for the comments about the 5296G, and most of all for organizing the GTG. Indeed we would end up meeting less often if not for your enthusiasm, so your energy and passion are crucial for keeping our little community of bros...
Thanks NT!
I look forward to us having GTGs until we are really old! Our dear friend kfc has some friends in their 60s and 70s who still meet up regularly to share their passion for watches! We will get there some day! Cheers Robin
Usually not too hot on Patek Philippe
NT931 I have few Patek Philippe watches as most of their dials do not appeal to me. However, your 5296G does appeal and it's round.... One of the reasons that I have few PP is because the current Mrs MTF does not like cushion-shaped watches. Well, that ju...
It looks great Gordon!
NT one of my bros already shared his wrist shot here. My fav Calatrava now ! Cheers Robin
Thanks for joining us that night Chuck!
And bringing along your superb timepieces Cheers Robin
