Ken, I don't post much about your watches because you already receive so many compliments on them but I must say it is pretty cool to be able to come here daily and see and enjoy your awesome collection. I'm not sure which one would be my favorite. But from modern to vintage every watch you've ever posted makes me say "damn, I want that".

No need to hit the gym ken. Just wear one on each arm and walk around waving to everyone like the queen. You'll be jacked in time for summer.

Although I love your Platona, I have to say I love that DDII glacier dial even more.

Well done, sir. Enjoy it in good health.

Rolex? Where are you? There's a fellow in the States that is in the need of a Pt Submarine or GMT Master II? C'mon guys? Are you listening? Basel is just around the corner, hurry up then!

Apart from the jokes, the DD II is a real beast, you don't have a small wrist Ken AFAICR but it really pushes you to the limit.

I guess this is a compliment.
These are some incredible watches without a single doubt, even compared to the Patek. You are indeed very fortunate Ken and it's nice to have someone share such nice watches.
You need to do a photo shoot with all three on a table or something, that way I can have the mother of all desktop backgrounds.
