Great read! Really nice, that you did go the next step to learn more about watches by experiencing it first hand.
I would love to do a watchmaking training myself, but my hands are too shaky.
Well, to be honest with you that could be a problem. But, at the same time, watchmaking can be very relaxing so it could help your hands 😉

Dear Alkiro, it has been a real pleasure ...
... to read through the Q&A and to learn a little bit more about you personally and your watch passion. For me, who joined this community just a couple of months ago, you are an important part of PuristSPro, and it is impossible to imagine that a day goes by without reading your posts. Keep it up my friend! All the best, Volker
Dear Volker, thanks a lot for your kind words 😊. Very sweet. I will try to continue to have fun with everybody here

You are an inspiration to us all and a fine example of what this community is all about.

Well, You're really kind but I don't know if I'm an inspiration for everybody here 😋

Many thanks to both of you Damjan and Alkiro for this POTM post, always a pleasure to read about friends
Since I have the big pleasure to know you as we have met several times, I have obviously not been surprised by your answers.
So instead of commenting them, I shall rather complete them by adding few words on how I see Alkiro...
The words that spontaneously come to my mind when I think of you are: friendly, sincere, spontaneous, engaged, sensitive person, aesthete, sense of humour just to mention the ones that qualify you best in my mind.
Thank you for being here my friend, we are so glad that you are part of the PuristS family

.Best,
Mike
You're too kind my friend, I'm blushing 😊
I'm really proud to meet you and I hope to see you again very soon.

As always, I look forward
to this series!
And this month's read is as enjoyable as all the others.
Although I may not have the opportunity to meet any of you here, reading POTM brings me closer to the 'spirit' of this forum.
Looking forward to reading more and who knows, when the stars line up... I just may be able to join a GTG one day.

Great read.
I guess many of us took the same path in this passion (except perhaps of the sabbatical year😃).
I agree that the GTGs are the icing on the cake and I hope that one day I'll join one.

Hi Alkiro, my friend! I am so late that I will send you a PM which will explain why I am so late and I know you will like it
I had the privilege to invite you recently to an exhibition in Geneva and I enjoyed every single minute talking watches with you. Hopefully we will meet again soon! Cheers, HSTE
Many thanks my friend. It was such a pleasure to meet you. I learned many thinks about our lovely tick-tock with you 😉

Alkiro, if there was a vote
You would have mine for purist of the year!! You not only reply to almost every thread but you do it quicker and more constructively than most!!
The fact that you live in Geneva is to me the rightful place for you. You have my utmost respect!
