@SteelerFan65 I'm very impressed with the pieces from your collection I have seen in various threads here at TRF, but the most impressive is the mint condition of your vintage watches. You surely must enjoy the hunt for the perfect specimen

Maybe 25 years ago I found one at the 26 street flea market in NYC .... I think the asking price was $2000. I had an explorer 1 at that time and wanted a sub with date .......
I still think about it , sometime you don't make the right decision at 6 AM !!

I do like Milsubs. However, I think I like £50,000 - £90,000 even better.

Lovely watches, guys.

That is truly amazing Mike. Now I know why they are so expensive...........it is supply and demand.......and you own them all.
