The post #1000. Not much in comparison to the other members, especially when
we take into account that most of my posts were about creating the community
rather than sharing expert knowledge. Still I thought it deserves a little
more special attitude to look back at them. Or to be more precise to look back
at the years spent within this community. So how were they?
I became a part of the forum 6 years ago and spent some money on flight
tickets since :o) I have spent some quality time with the people sharing the
same passion. My first encounter with the collector's community was during the
SIHH in 2013 and the very first person I have met was David from US who
recognised me as a lost and lonely collector wandering around the IWC booth
and literally took care of me :o)
First mini GTG, dinner, meeting Andrew and Vishal.

Meeting the rest of the gang the other day, especially the guys from the
Eastern part of the Globe who are not so often to be seen in Europe.
