Enjoy the journey.
It will be an adventure of a life time. You can make as simple or as complicated as you want. Your tastes will change and mature with time so don't rush take your time.

"Take your time", Bill?...
Are you messing with our minds, or are you just naturally incisive?

I will take that as a compliment?
I think in our little Purist community there are many fringe benefits namely friendships around our crazy passion.

You must, you must!...
You must take it a as compliment, Bill!

Friendship - Sums it it up well
I agree we do cultivate some interesting friendships like pen pals of bygone years. Lucky for us we can doi the everyday by just sneaking a few minutes or "more" everyday and do it with a smile know that many are enjoying the same friendships though not yet declared "Lurker friends".
Have a great day.
Bill
Have a great day.

True that...
The exponential difference enlivened by technology on sites such as this, though, is that one can make and keep up with many friends across the globe: having that many 'pen-pals' in the days of yore would have induced terminal writer's cramp and postage-bankruptcy. So: thanks PPro.
You have a good one too, Bill.
Cheers,
pplater.
Aha - consensus from the man...
...who spends more time at GTG's with his fan club than he does at the office!
(Given the chance, who wouldn't?)
Love your work, Nico.

If only we could attend friendly GTGs rather than GTGs with clients and judge... [nt]
No message body
We could...
...if only they would give us watches instead of selling us watches.
Cheers,
pplater.
Be careful.
Don't believe in words like "rare", "NOS", "unpolished" etc.
Just enjoy the journey.

And the salesperson is only lying...
...if his/her lips are moving, yes?
