Finally got around to taking some photos, so thought I'd share them here. I'll begin with the "meteorite strike" that occurred last month. Here's the debris field:

Here's my first - an early 70's TT DJ which has now been claimed by my wife:

My next one was the YG DD:

Then the Explorer II:

By this time, I realized I couldn't help myself, so I took a pause for a Pepsi:

Latest addition, a TT Blue Sub:

Finally, my wife's Lady President. Why does the smallest watch get the biggest box?

Still want/need a YM and an SD...just biding my time and checking the couch cushions for loose change.

Best,
Skip

Awesome collection, Skip!

Gotta love those old boxes, too!

What's your favourite watch of them all?

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Skip Greenwade · 5 May 2008, 07:09 AM

If pressed to decide, I guess my favorite is the DD. I really obsessed over getting it and when the "big day" finally came, I kept it on the nightstand so I could look at it when I woke up that night wondering if I really bought it, or just dreamed (again) that I bought it.

Funny thing, though, is that I enjoy wearing the SS GMT just as much as I do the DD or the Daytona...gotta love those Rollies!

Best,
Skip

One word. Wow!!!

Terry Newton · 5 May 2008, 09:52 AM

Fabulous collection. How do you decide which one gets wrist time? Do an eenie-meeny-miney-mo, flip a coin, roll the dice, etc. Or, does the wife pick out which one you're going to wear for the day?

That is a beautiful collection.
