WatchRap - Wristwatch, Timepiece and Watches Discussion Forum

Welcome to WatchRap -

If you are a registered participant, AND LOGGED IN, your posts will appear immediately after posting. Those who are not registered, or logged in, your posts will appear after a brief delay.

Dec. 3, 2006: we are in a transition now, launching the spin-off PuristSPro development. Your understanding and patience is much appreciated.

When the dust has settled, I'd like WatchRap to focus mainly, if not exclusively, on discussions about watches specifically - their technique, history, psychology.

Brand specific discussion, while not prohibited, should mainly be made on General Watch Discussion - click here. Party reportage, social events, mainly marketing based product launches, etc, should also be shared there.

I expect initial confusion, and I also am prepared for WatchRap to become a ghost town for awhile, as I will still be relatively unavailable due to personal family health issues. Old timers, and true PuristS, fear not; I have confidence everything will work out the way they were meant to be, whatever that turns out to be.

Sincerely,

At this time, registration and log in is not required to participate, though highly recommended, but we ask that you observe some simple guidelines. Any topic watch related is fair game here, but please -

Observe the golden rule - treat others as you would want others to treat you.

Please discuss specific dealers and pricing / discounts by private email.

By participating in this forum, you represent that you have thoroughly read and agree to abide by ThePuristS.com forum code of conduct.

Best regards,

WatchRap Moderators

GO TO: Please note ALL brand links being hosted on the new platform first go to the new PuristSPro homepage, from where you can try out our new V.2 interface.
This is due to our phasing out the old "classic" interface on the new platform.
