My awe is immeasurable, my respect incalculable, my jealousy knows no bounds. I bow in your general direction!!
LOL! I know the feeling. Once when I was taking some pics of the Subs my wife said "They all look the same" .. I said "are you blind??"---not smart.

Wow, nice collection.

The question is though, who takes longer: your wife (if you have one) to get ready, or you to pick out a watch?

Icon14 Awesome collection

WOW! Mike, unbelievable collection

I'm just speechless as I type this.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a white 1675?

white made me think of the white dial blue bezel 6542 sold to the PAN AM execs

Boy wouldn't it be something to have one of those. White simply means the color used for the dial script. Many early references used a gilt (golden color) on a gloss dial.

Here's a pic of a gilt dial,
