Great Giants win tonight!!! Now for what folks who have been viewing the thread have come for, here are a few more pictures of the history lesson I was seeking, I totally recommend the National Watch Museum to anyone who is remotely interested in horology. This is not quite like one of Jocke's trips to Basel, however, enjoy the visual journey!

It's going to be tough to display the hundreds of pictures I took at the museum, however, I will display the most interesting one's

I will let folks take in these remaining pictures, all in all I fully realize that there is another timepiece world outside of Rolex and for a young chap trying to study this horological profession I have a long way to go but that is what will make this journey to acquire some rare pieces well worth it... Thanks for looking

I was just there with the Mrs. on the 14th! Was a long trip, but was really worth it! I was just looking at all the pictures I took, and they pretty much matched up with yours!

I will be uploading my pictures shortly to contribute! It's funny, I wanted to buy that print of the Daytona in the gift shop, but no one could tell if it was for sale or not!

Mods perhaps we can move this thread to the vintage section?
Just sharing a few more pictures from my trip to the Watch & Clock Museum a few weeks ago! Enjoy!
