kolossttDear PuristSPro, a couple of weeks ago, I turned from an passive follower of this community into a more active contributor. Joining in the wide-ranging topic of wrist watches that gave me so much joy since it sparked my enthusiasm around one year ago. Compared to some of your folks, it is still a young attraction but I am sure it will last because I now own one piece of the Chopard exclusivity. Unluckily the trigger for my first thread was not a joyful occasion, because I had to bring my new watch to the .....">Story

pingtsai10 Ideas For Creating a Post on PuristSPro It’s become pretty clear now why PuristSPro stands apart from the rest of the crowd. Our community hangout is the gem restaurant in town and everything that you post is the irresistible fare. Although a two-way street of sharing is always more fulfilling and worthwhile, we understand that not everyone is automatically inclined to express their thoughts and opinions on the forums and that is totally okay.

Baron - Mr RedThis week's Wristscan is all about watches that have surprised you. Ever bought a watch thinking that you liked it, but it turns out you love it? Ever bought a watch thinking that it was the best purchase ever, only to find you sold it because it failed to live up to expectations? Ever buy a watch and find something you just didn't expect about it? Yes, this week's theme is about SURPRISE in whatever form that takes your fancy. Here is my surprise....surprised to see an Explorer dial on two different Submariners. Not often one sees that! These two dials could be twins...">Story

foverstaThe El Primero Chronomaster 1969 Tour Auto Edition is not a mere Zenith watch. First of all, it is a LE of 500 pieces and when we consider it, we don't see that often limited editions from Zenith. But more importantly, it symbolizes the new involvement of Zenith with the Tour Auto Optic 2000, replacing the former watchmaking partner of the race, Hublot. The contract with the event stays in the same group (LVMH) and it is after all pure logic since with this new partnership, Zenith gives a proof of its increasing commitment with the world of motor races...">Story

Ornatus-MundiAlready previewed during the SIHH in Geneva, Zenith presented us a real gem of a chronograph, the new Zenith El Primero 36'000 VpH in stainless steel (42mm) with either white or black lacquered dials: Let's start with the white version: A well-proportioned, classic chronograph with quite modern features: The dial is of almost enamel-like appearance, with traditional railroad tracks around the subdails. Typical Zenith multi-facetted indices and - oh these blued hand! The date is back at its traditional 04:30h ... ...">Story

blomman Mr BlueFriends, This year many of the major brands released very artistic watches with beautiful motifs on the dial and so did Girard-Perregaux as well! What differentiate the trilogy from GP this year is most of all the material chosen for each dial. These watches are made in sets of three, limited edition of 18 sets. The base is the GP1966, 40 mm case in Pink gold. Same case seen in several different iterations of the GP1966, among them one of my personal favorite: The Enamel Dial with sub-seconds and heated blued .....">Story
