No way! I don't think he would stand the sight of only one watch on his sig pic!! Seriously now, there is absolutely no point doing this! His watches are fantastic! He already sold them and bought them back about a dozen times!!! He knows by now!!

Nah, I don't think it has to do with that. I think it's that JJ loves his Yachmaster "Platty" too much.

JJ will never let go of the 16610 because of how it came to him. Now the other two are flippers in waiting.

Nope. Wouldn't happen. He wouldn't drop Subby for anything.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I saw his little face light up when he put my Milgauss GV on his wrist on Tuesday night.

I know he would never sell his Sub date - but the others?

Correct!!! The SS Sub-date was a "gift" from Bubba and will eventually be passed down to my grandson, Ronan.

The TT Blue Sub is one I got for a song.....you guys will find it hard to believe the price I paid in US Dollars for this baby.....thanks to my friend, Don (sub2004), who also happens to be a member of this forum.

As for Platty.....well, that too I got for a good price, brand new from my AD in Dec. 07. I love it for its uniqueness and would be hard-pressed to ever afford it again if I made the mistake of getting rid of it. The new prices have shot through the roof!!

Well, there you have it. ALL THREE STAY!!

Forget the 41 mm DD-II. That watch is beautiful, but it's always been out of my price affordability, unless of course I win Powerball some damn lucky Saturday!!
