Hi Jack,

PuristS provides us with an amazing virtual connection with like-minded friends, but physically I can usually be found in Melbourne.

Regards

Andrew

Happy to see there are others with this affliction in Aus. I'd be glad to meet and see other watches, so count me in and keep in touch. PS. Im a Patek addict but have Rolex, Panerai also.

G'day from Sydney

Hi Jack,

Where are you at? There is a small but growing group of WISes (some crossover with Purists, but frequenters of other watch fora) who meet regularly in Sydney. If you're interested to join or are visiting Sydney, please contact me and I'll get you added onto the list.

Cheers,

Teng

OK,OK: Perth here...

What about Aussie PuristS hiding

in China or Vietnam or Singapore or wherever?

Do they count? Can Aussies count? certainly not when it comes to tinnies!

In any case, we Aussies never count our tinnies before they're hatched.

Aussie Purists hiding in China? That would be, er, me I think.

Cheers

A gathering in Melbourne is practical for me.  I go to Sydney occasionally and will probably visit Perth some time this year.

Was in Sydney but no residing in HK (nt)

Lived for many years in Melbourne and Geelong. Now in Kuala Lumpur. The watch scene is very strong here. Loads of PuristS here in Asia..

Hi to the Aussie Purists.....it seems that we are thin...

Hi to the Aussie Purists.....it seems that we are thin on the ground ......but still... there are a few of us around.

It would be nice to organize a weekend or dinner function sometime ... but we all know distance is a massive problem.

I might make a suggestion that we keep our ears open for any Horological event that might provide an excuse to catch up.

What... I do not know what....I know that my AD has just moved to new premises and mentioned that they are  having an opening Cocktail evening when things settle down.....without being too presumptuous I am sure he would welcome a few extra enthusiasts and so a Gold Coast weekend might be a start.

Please let me know if you have any similar thoughts.

Kindest regards,

Jack
