Pre Chinese New Year GTG (last days of Horse year) in Singapore
8 of us PuristS gathered tonight for a pre Chinese New Year gtg in Singapore and also to welcome and meet up with a fellow PuristS from overseas, Gordon!
In another 3 days the year of the Horse will end and we will usher in the year of the Goat!
So in this gtg, Gordon's Ulysse Nardin classico Horse enamel dial watch was our star of the night! Some of you may know I was once considering this watch but decided to pass it as I felt I couldn't carry an ornamental watch on my wrist. But man... This watch's enamel dial is awesome! I could spend hours looking at the dial using my loupe. I brought a loupe tonight but was so scared I get poisoned beyond cure so I didn't look at the watch for too long lol!
Bro Horogasm joined us too tonight. Guess which watches he brought along? 
(hint not an MB&F)
(hint not an MB&F)Another special mention: one of our fellow PuristS based in Singapore (he visits our forums here but is shy to post ) actually brought along a Montblanc Villeret Tachydate!!
) actually brought along a Montblanc Villeret Tachydate!!What a beautiful watch! The eggshell dial (color wise) and the movement is to die for! He recently got this watch from Montblanc. Big congrats to this Purist from Singapore! He is a blessed man! I am very happy he brought this along tonight - he said becos the Montblanc moderator is here tonight so he wore this watch. I am very touched
It's not everyday I see a Purist wearing a Montblanc Villeret.
I appreciate him wearing this watch tonight and sharing with us how much he likes this watch.
There were also nice Langes in the midst. Could you identify them?
Gordon also shared his 175th anniversary PP worldtime. The moonphase is very nicely done! So is the case of the watch. I envy this guy!!!
Some photos to share. enjoy! Another great night of watch sharing, friendship and good food. Thanks to all fellow PuristS who attended tonight's gtg!
And Gordon, it was great to see you again
Hope to see you again soon.
Cheers
Robin

Thanks Robin for organizing the GTG !! There were some...
...AMAZING watches !! To me, the MB&F machines + Montblanc Villeret + Lange Honey Gold were the highlights, but they pale in comparison to meeting fellow PruistS, our discussions and friendships established !! You still need to decide on what you want...
The other MB&F guy is definitely very poisoned lol!
I suspect he will get the snake soon hehe Very nice meeting you again Gordon! Always a pleasure my friend :) Cheers Robin
Thank you Raymond
There was a time I forgot about table shots until fellow PuristS reminded me of this tradition lol Cheers Robin
Wow, if someione is hunting a nice watch, now he knows why he doesn't find it! :)
They are ALL here, with you, guys! Guys, thanks for sharing with us your treasures. All the best! Nicolas
Hope you can join us next time Ken!
Then it will be even heavier in terms of weight lol Cheers Robin
The Alibaba cave in Singapore..........
.......I have to find it next time I am in Singapore;) it looks fabulous. Thank you for the pictures Robin, seems like you had a fantastic evening:) Cheers Francois
Alibaba cave lol!!
Francois you are one of the most humorous Purist on our forum hehe Yes looking forward to meeting you again my friend! Cheers Robin
That is an impressive gathering
The one that always moves me is the Langematik Perpetual in platinum. Thank you for sharing. I need to visit Singapore!
Come visit us! :)
Yes that platinum Langamatik PC is a heavy weight indeed! Cheers Robin
Big and heavy stuff!
Superb collection and table shot. Love seeing the Gronefeld out there...and more than one MB&F! Always seems to be a good time in SG :-)
The Gronefeld is such a rare watch!
First time I saw one! It belongs to Bro Horo :) Hope you can join us someday Richard! Cheers Robin
That would have been my guess :-)
He's got all the nice ones leaving us with scraps ;-) I will make it a point to be there this first half of the year. Working on my travel plans now and will let you know soon. Have been missing out on a lot of fun so far... I managed to handle the Gronef...
What can I say . . .
. . . other than wishing to be the ninth Purist in the house? Cool stuff, Robin - thanks for posting these photos, particularly the UN, which has to be the least usual in a field filled with unusual examples of our common passion. Best, Art
The UN horse was the star Art! :)
To celebrate the end of a successful Horse year as we usher in the year of the Goat :) Yes you are more than welcomed to be our 9th member hehe. Hope to see you in person one day my friend Cheers Robin
I don't have many goals left in life . . .
. . . but one of them is to drink at your bar. :-)
impressive GTG
Cool gtg before the Chinese New Year. Thanks for sharing these pics. Regards, ED-209
A very fine gathering...
These watches are unusual and very interesting to handle. Thanks a lotf or sharing those numerous pictures Robin. Cheers, Mark
Most welcome Mark
To be honest, the watches were nice, the food was great.... The friends were the best!! :) Cheers Robin
So that's why both Hororgasm and you did not reply my SMS
Now, I know where the two of you were when I messaged that night. I thougt it was odd to get 'radio silence' from both at the same time. My favouite rare watch was this one... Montblanc Villeret I see the common Gronefeld watches all the time! ;) MTF ...
Lol! I still remember telling Horo that night during the dinner...
"Bro, boss looking for us" lol (when I saw your message) Good pick of the lot MTF. That Montblanc Villeret vintage Tachydate was my favorite watch that evening too. I am slightly biased of course hehe Cheers Robin
