The PPro ABR roll call

 
 By: AndrewD : May 10th, 2009-02:39
Hi fellow Purists, It has been more than six months since the first ABR Purist Edition watches were delivered. Many owners’ watches have been posted in various locations since then, but I thought it was about time we had a pictorial thread that brought al...  

come in #99, your time is up!

 
 By: G99 : May 10th, 2009-02:51
with a non standard mesh bracelet on it i suppose this is as highly modified as things will get. best Graham...  

Thats a nice bracelet....

 
 By: Jacky : May 10th, 2009-02:57
Hi there I like that bracelet alot...didnt have time to look up for it yet. Meanwhile here is mine... Regards...  

pm me if you want seller. its very local to you i think.

 
 By: G99 : May 10th, 2009-02:59
i'll also explain the technique to fitting it. best Graham

Hey Graham!

 
 By: Allen : May 10th, 2009-11:03
I'm glad to be right next to your number! Too bad I can't make it to London this year....  

My #99 was specially chosen...

 
 By: G99 : May 10th, 2009-11:49
My #99 was specially chosen to match my Freak and hopefully the next one will be #99. its a bit pathetic, but i'd quite like all ltd ed pieces to be 99. no real reason, but it looks good when you line them up. best Graham

So that's the reason.

 
 By: Allen : May 11th, 2009-00:03
It does look good indeed. Great pair of 99s. Looking forward to your next #99 watch!

It just hit me that my work desk have been surrounded by a certain color combination. Now , I am no longer surprise why my PP ABR is fitted with a red strap Cheers Noel...  

Here's mine....

 
 By: DRMW : May 10th, 2009-03:12
Hope everyone is enjoying theirs as much as I have with mine. My PPro ABR has been used and abused but held up without any problems. The PVD is still looking new. Lume shot: -MW...  

No favourite shot but ABR is one of my favourite watches

I just wore it during a business trip in Indonesia 2 days ago and it attracted a lot of attention due to its "four hands" appearance. Regards Ling

Nice to see the PPro ABR in its natural environment! Cool action shot with the running water! Cheers, Daos

Hope you saw the technicolor version …

Andrew, I'll come up with some more pics if you like.

I love all photos of watches being used for their intended purpose and the ABR is particularly unusual in that regard. Don’t forget to ask permission from the patient! A Ps. although quartz, these washable silicone rubber fob watches are popular amo...  

Really there is a game like that! Cool...

 
 By: mkt33 : May 12th, 2009-16:46
you get use to the sight of blood very easily...its the smell of surgery that gets most people. Then there is trauma surgery which is a whole world unto itself. Women make better surgeons...there is a scientific paper on this Cheers, MIke

Great idea, thanks for the roll call!

#00 (first test production piece) cking in. Tied up without easy access to pics and links (PDA only) sorry no pics. I figure cking in without pic is better than waiting until I can post pics and missing the thread! ;-) Cheers, TM

Great image, Steve; thanks! With the random stray strands each dial must be unique – a sort of fingerprint for each owner. Andrew

Hi Elliot, I haven’t seen one up close like that (the statue not the watch). I did want to see the ABR being worn and used in the pictures, so yours is perfect. Oscar makes quite a good night watch stand as well. Seriously though, being unlikely to receiv... 

my dear Andrew, a nice DayTime watch stand, but not at Night

fyi, 12+ pounds of 18k (real) gold plated Lead. yes, lead. heavy but very nice to hold. glad you enjoyed the picture. cheers, elliot

I had no idea …

 
 By: AndrewD : May 15th, 2009-03:44
… they were that heavy. No wonder the happy recipients clutch them so firmly! Lots of memories rolled up in that I imagine, Elliot. Thanks for the insight. Andrew

I was wearing my ABR when my son arrived a bit early. He's home now and doing absolutely wonderfully! The ABR glows nicely during 2am and 5am feedings Regards, Ira...  

Enjoy both …

 
 By: AndrewD : May 14th, 2009-17:57
Hello Ira, Great to see your son and that watch. Meticulous hand hygiene is critical in an area like the neonatal / newborn care unit. The perfect environment for a disinfectable watch! [Even though many units now have a ‘naked below the elbow’... 

Congrats Ira!
