I have 9 lists now, on 10 I'll make the poll and adjust along the way I'm drinking 'Polar Beer' right now, imported from the US but made in Venezuela. Anyone heard of it?

Seen quite a few on National Geographic....oh, you talking about 'beer'. Sorry, misread it as 'bear'.

Now that's better. See, I knew you could do it.

Hugo Chavez doesn't make that beer, does he?

Are you sure you weren't watching beavers on NGC? And where are my flight jacket pictures, you keep steering away from this

How disapointing. Even a fellow MOD lets me down. Now is a good time to pay my old friend Jack (you know, he works at Still No. 7) a visit

Yes - not as fast as JJ "Quickdraw McGraw" Irani, but plenty speedy with the mouse and keyboard...

Really old, really hard to get and really expensive But, I'm not sure either

LOL! I'll try.
First the ones I own,

The 1680 Red--A classic acryllic Sub. The Red was only made a few years before Rolex switched to the 1680 White


The 16750--Called the "transitional" GMT, the first GMT to have a quick-set date. The matt version is considered the collectors piece


The 16610LV--The green sub, the maxi-dial's larger markers reminds me of the great vintage Rolex "tool" watches


The Omega Speedmaster 321--The watch and movement worn on the moon.
Mine has an 861 movement--the dial is the same, but not as historic


The "Grails" I wish I had--NOT MY PHOTOS--some are from othe collectors,some from vintage sites.

The 6542--The first Rolex GMT -- A colaberation between Rolex and Pan Am.


The 1665 DRSD--The collectors dream diver! Major money


The 6241--the Paul Numan---so rare! so expensive!!!!


The Omega Seamaster 300M--A simple elegant classic of Omega history. Some say the insperation of the Planet Ocean


The Patek Phillippe 3970--- In my view just a beautifull watch!!


Lastly the Panerai 00161--The one I don't have a picture of! A GMT I tried on at an ADs--simply a fantasticly beautifull watch with and outstanding bracelet! I was suprised that a watch measuring 44MM seemed so "at home" on my wrist!

Great pics, Mike...and a nice bit of education in calibre numbers with their matching watches.

Thanks - JJ

I sent two partial lists. Does that count as one or two lists?

Juan Valdez does.

Great pics! I feel like printing them out and making flash cards for study!

I'm sorry, Paulie. Juan is dead, he was from Colombia, and he made coffee - not beer.

Actually, he could make that beer from the grave if he wanted, and it would be alright with me. As long as that nut Chavez isn't involved!

Craig, you know what is really funny about your post above??? You meant to write "hovering", but you wrote "hoovering" - Peter and JJ and others will have fun with that. It is a term used to mean "vacuuming" in the UK and the Commonwealth.

Does he carry around one of those back-pack vacuum cleaners, you tosser??!!
