By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 16th, 2015-08:44
This evening, several PuristS friends in Singapore welcomed Dr Kol and his wife, as well as Esharp to singapore with our traditional PuristS gtg! It was amazing to meet these 3 superb watch collectors from overseas in person and we all enjoyed the good co...
Looks like a swell time
By: rnaden : January 16th, 2015-08:59
With some really amazing watches to go with it. I especially like the Minerva and the Parmigiani...great pieces in all. Seems like every GTG is more fun than the last...
Hope you can join us next time Richard!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 16th, 2015-20:40
Yes it's always fun each time we meet. :) It's the sharing and friendship that I really enjoy the most. Cheers Robin
The Minerva time only is a superb piece.
By: amanico : January 16th, 2015-09:03
More Under the radar than the others, but not less appealing. Good to see that the Gang is alive and kicking. Best, Nicolas
It belongs to our dear Esharp!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 16th, 2015-20:40
Really a nice piece. I love it a lot too. The dial and movement are both very nice One day Nico... Hope we can host you in Singapore :) Cheers Robin
Nico, Robin, thank you!
By: Esharp : January 24th, 2015-08:03
Those are very kind words, Nico, and thank you very much. This Minerva is a humble timepiece with great emotional value for me - a special gift when I was younger, and a representative of values I increasingly consider difficult to find in modern watchmak...
You summed it perfectly E!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 24th, 2015-22:12
The Purist spirit indeed! Pls share your Minerva on our Montblanc forum when you have some time my friend :) I'm sure our Montblanc PuristS friends will like it too! Cheers Robin
Awesome meet-up with some truly amazing watches!
By: shawnpkc : January 16th, 2015-09:22
Great pics, Robin! I had a fantastic time today and already can't wait for the next one. A large part of collecting is about the community, and today just goes to show how strong the community really is. Best, Shawn
I was very happy to meet you Shawn!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 16th, 2015-20:43
You represent our next generation of PuristS! A belated welcome to PuristSPro - this is your 2nd post and I looks forward to more sharings here from you :) Thanks again for booking the place and helping with the logistics :) Next gtg we hope to see you ag...
Yes it's Horo's!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 16th, 2015-20:45
It is a superb watch! Very hefty in platinum. I think it's the heaviest wrist watch I have handled in the metal! Raymond, PuristS gtgs are really fun! Hope you can join us someday too! Or some of the gtgs in your region Cheers Robin
Thank you guys for invitation and the good time!
By: dr.kol : January 16th, 2015-09:43
We were pretty jet-lagged and Anne (10 months) was so tired that we left quite early. But more next time. The picture "spot the difference" I like a lot. The one that is "real stuff" is mine and the other one I'm calling a "fake" made by Patek Philippe Ge...
Kari, it was a great pleasure to meet you last night
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 16th, 2015-20:48
I have always enjoyed your posts here and very happy we could finally meet! :) Your real stuff (for the nautilus) is my dream! :) For now I live with the "fake" lol. Enjoy the rest of your stay here and hope you and your family recover from your jetlag so...
Thanks Robin, it was my pleasure.
By: dr.kol : January 16th, 2015-21:08
I think that the watch nuts do not really realise yet the difference between 3712 and 5712. Taking into account the huge difference in the construction, I feel that 3712 is still in fact affordable. I'm sure that one day people will be crazily looking for...
Looking forward Kari!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 17th, 2015-22:37
Both to your next visit and your AP oscillating weight :) Cheers Robin
I will be bombing
By: dr.kol : January 18th, 2015-04:02
AP every day. It will be very interesting... However, I'm afraid that when my 15202 is ready, I need to wear my watch the dial towards my wrist. Best, Kari
My pleasure Stefan
By: dr.kol : January 17th, 2015-09:10
It looks like I will be a very regular visitor in Singapore and I must admit that I do not suffer from that. Will hopefully see you next time again. Best, Kari

What watch is this?
By: MTF : January 17th, 2015-12:04
What watch is this? If I had attended, I would have brought these Christmas presents to the party....er....except the donkey. :-) MTF ...
That's right Andrew!

Habring2 min repeater
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 17th, 2015-22:44
But customized a bit without the label of the brand on the dial I think. It belongs to Horo :) MTF we hope to see you one day when you return to visit us! especially if you bring presents for us hehehe! Cheers Robin
Robin, thanks for this post!
By: MichaelC : January 18th, 2015-07:10
My favorite posts are of these special and intimate get togethers among PuristS. I'm afraid I do not understand "2 unworn APs" which is blasphemy around my parts ;-) At least they are wound so they are receiving some attention. I hope to get your way one ...
Robin, a thousand thanks!
By: Esharp : January 24th, 2015-07:40
It was a fantastic evening and an absolute pleasure to get to know everyone present. There were indeed some beautiful examples of watchmaking in attendance - not only was it great fun to compare Kari's 3712 and Robin's 5712 (I loved them both equally), an...
It belongs to Kari
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : January 29th, 2015-05:17
Kari could you let us know? It's indeed a nice watch case! An Italian brand I recall Cheers Robin
