Team, I was able to learn something about watches, how my personal taste changes and I continue to enjoy every watch and every post here. I was able to determine what watches excites me, watches that are here to stay and others that are not. Just like life, I learn every single day and I love to be on an environment that is friendly and universal. Of course, I don t know personally most of the members here but, as much is virtually possible, I m surrounded by friends. About tastes, I m trying to stay with three brands that in one way or another, sing to me . IWC, Jaeger Lecoultre and Omega (yes, they are in alphabetical order) are those brands. Why, one may ask? IWC, because of the design and history. Portuguese (now they call it Portugieser ), Flieger, Aquatimer and Ingenieur are my addiction. Jaeger Lecoultre, because of the history, the bold designs and, of course, Nicolas. Omega, because of the history, Moon watch and the aggressive approach to technology (CoAxial and now Master line). Let s see some pieces that I love, all in B W: Aquatimer Vintage Collection: IWC Mark XII IWC Portugieser Classic: IWC DoppelChronograph: JLC Amvox I: JLC Amvox II Omega Speedmaster HB-SIA: Omega Seamaster Good Planet: Omega Seamaster NZL-32: Omega Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon: Omega Speedmaster Moon phase: Omega Speedmaster Olympic (Beijing): Omega Seamaster 300m Master: Omega Speedmaster CoAxial 57: Thanks for seeing and thanks to all Purists. Cheers, Nilo
