every Rolex collection should have at least one!

The Tudor Monte Carlo Home Plate top right is just "keeping the bed warm" until my Jean Claude Killy gets back from the "spa"..!

Kayaker52 · 9 September 2011, 12:42 AM

Appreciate that could fill a book, but have a go !,

Yazo · 9 September 2011, 08:20 AM

Unreal man!!

Bruno C · 9 September 2011, 08:29 AM

Congratulartions, beatiful collection!!

Mike Wood · 9 September 2011, 08:51 AM

Thank you all for your very kind words and tolerance of my show-off pictures!!

My collection stretches back around 23 years (I'd like to say: I'm not that old). I focussed on plexi-glass Rolex sports models, and although I'm not a wealthy guy, I frequently over-stretched my budget to secure a watch. Yes, I'm slightly obsessed

My sports watch collection numbers around 100 pieces. I also enjoy vintage Rolexes... Oysters, Princes, Precisions, etc. There are probably a hundred or so of them.

And yes, there are some GMT-Masters (bakelite bezel 6542s, gilt 1675s, and even a gold nipple dial one).

I have a love/hate relationship with Patek Philippe watches - I own several, the common theme being moonphase watches with additional complications. Sadly, these tend to be expensive, so I ain't got many
