Once Again & Yet Another Merry Christmas to you all!

It can be imagined that watchmakers today can find a bit to whine about, but they really have it easy compared to the past, but hey, it's Christmas so let 'em bitch, at least a little!

Merry Christmas to you all!

During the last collectors meeting I asked you to write once more a Christmas tale on the Forum, but I thought it was in vain as a great poet can not be pushed to deliver a piece of literature on command.
But your inspiration and talent gave us this great art work, highlighting the vintage days.
Thank you for a superb Christmas gift and merry Christmas to you and your family and to all IWC friends.

Merry Christmas, Adrian!
Just to let you know, you were indeed my inspiration this year as I appreciated very much your request.
I thought a lot about how I might approach this year's theme, but nothing ever came to me that seemed coherent, and I kept thinking it would not be. But at 11:30pm last night I sat down to come up with something, and at 2:00am I made the post. Had I not been so tired at the time, I would have remembered to dedicate it to you.
I have gained so much knowledge from you and others here that I can never repay in kind, so if I can at least make you and others chuckle just a bit, then maybe my debt grows no larger than that which I hope someday to be able to repay.

Thanks & Best regards,

Terry

Wow Terry, fantastic and it really touched me!

Warm regards,

Bob

Wonderfull Terry. Thanks for sharing.

Words fail me!

What a brilliant read - thank you Mr. Russel for this Christmas cheer.

What a poet you are, Terry! Feel free to continue next Christmas, please ... :-)
