We'll never do it again!
Not just that we'll never do a 10th anniverary watch again; that's a "given". 
I'll never do ANY anniversary watch again. [gasp]
The next one is 20th anniversary; somehow, I don't think some of us will make it then.......
We should have stopped at 2 brands but then, other watchmakers/brands wanted to honour all PuristS with a special piece too. "How can you stop us when you let them?"
When we got to 7 brands, it seemed churlish not to go on....and stop it at 10 models.
Since, as I said, we'll never do an anniversary watch again.........
So, all that loving $ alloction you were going to reserve for the next 10 years of watches......put it all in a P10 watch now. There ain't going to be a P20.

Can I be a jerk for once ?
I don't know how to make this post, It will be quite difficult because maybe some people will not like it. But let me try to give my honest opinion, and I hope you'll understand what I mean. I know this site pretty well and I know quite a lot of members, ...
Some watches....
Thanks for your topic Some watches in the high industry -unfortunetly- not worth it's fantasy prices, some times I imagine that even if the collector have a 3 million dollars he should be reasonable with what he would paying for, some whates even the 3-6 ...
Have you seen the Paul Gerber?
Its a gorgeous watch at a very reasonable price, I have too many watches at the moment but if I were to apply to receive one that would be the one for me. http://ahci.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-16/pi-4609233/ti-710068/s-0/ Check it out. S
Hi Bruno, not all the mods have deep pockets either
You left out the PuristSPro ABR which is ultimately affordable! IGOTT 2 (Our tenth anniversary) is all about friendship and gathering. If you attend, it makes picking up a special anniversary piece that much more sentimental. Hence the priority / special ...
I did not have the guts
to write a post along the same lines as you have written. I kind of think the same as you and am a little disappointed with the line up for the 10th anniversary of PuristSPro. However, they are all gorgeous watches. It would have been nice to have somethi...
You've raised a very good point!
While the watches made for the 10th anniversary have by large been very interesting,i mirror your opinion that the prices have also been as stellar! That is not to detract from the fact that the watches have been great and probably worth their high tags! ...
Can you convince a number of Purists to decide upon a watch design from, say Habring?
habring is emminently affordable convince enough people, perhaps the habrings might be able to produce a limited line at a a better cost, given the hopefully good number of orders. But perhaps most of all, it would be the most TRUE purist watch, given tha...
You could...
but it is not as easy as you would say, don't you think we tried with all the brands and independents that have been mentionned so far in this thread? As a friendly word of advice... If you decide to proceed with a "special project" you need to take if "o...
understood and my apologies:)
I love this site, and owe a lot to the efforts of the moderators \ thanks again, and my apologies Jason
I wish I could be there....
but my two young daughters would have my butt should I dare leave their sides I hope you and everyone else has a GREAT time--and please post pics and updates for everyone who could not attend Have a great holiday weekend! J
Ever since the first few P10 editions were announced...
...there have been posts about the prohibitive cost of these pieces for the masses. (For the record, I cannot afford most of the pieces either and will not be getting a P10 watch.). I think everyone can appreciate that every Purist has their own spending ...
P10 equals limited edition..
limited edition equals exclusitivity. Exclusitivity equals price differentiation. The P10 watches rightfully should not be produced for the masses. There are Purists passionate enough to want to own one but then again, the cost of one equals the cost of m...
Thanks, Keith.
Thanks for understanding and appreciating that best efforts were made on behalf of the community to offer a variety of pieces. While many of us (including me) may not be able to obtain a P10 watch for our own wrist, we should keep in mind that these brand...
Spot on...
Bruno, as others before already said - you voiced the thoughts of many a visitor; I happen to be one of them but since new here thought may be considered as spammer or troll if publishing. Question is - where do we draw the line of entry to the P10 club -...
Not a jerk.
It is somewhat frustrating, and you have raised the issue intelligently and courteously. I think there really are two issues: one is general affordability, the other is whether the watches are overpriced for what they are because of their sentimental and ...
lets be frank..
if Purist introduce a 5K pam or rolex, limited edition, we might jolly well go down the fiasco of a certain pam forum, with mud slinging, and favourtism, flippers and endless threads full of bitching and moaning. i see your poin totally. not sure about st...
A little thought from your still new guest !!
What about (two) watches for an anniversary or any upcoming event ; one in a high price, the other in a med price? I thinK this will satisfy all the Purists. Thanks. W.F
Bruno, nobody....
...who has read any of your posts here, or anonymous posts elsewhere, or knows anything of the fine watches you have championed, would ever think you a jerk - not even 'for once'. If you write something, then it requires to be read and considered seriousl...

Point taken and understood but...
I believe it has been a painstaking effort for the PPro team to undertake the production of P10 watches. It is not even possible for any watchmakers or brands in the world to satisfy everyone. You have set the bar too high for the PPro team. In fact, I ag...
