If YOU think, you might have an addiction to collecting Rolex watches, and that it kinda got out of hands, maybe THIS guy will be a comfort to you. There will always be a Rolex-addict even crazier than you

I get SICK of envy looking at these photos!

I must convince myself that he copied the ONLY Cosmo SS and the ONLY LV he got, set it in photoshop and then pasted them multibly to show off!

Whats the point

of having a bunch of LV's and Daytonas?

Now Mike has a great collection

Andad · 23 April 2007, 08:27 PM

The second hands all look a bit long to me.

Yeah, you're right! That fool made the second's hands too long editing them in Photoshop!

But I aggree with you. It is plain down silly to have so many watches that are exactly the same. Although he does have both the 16520 AND the 116520 and both black and white faced.

That guy must be loaded!

But as I have said in an earlier thread: How BORING wouldn't it be, if you could just buy ANY Rolex ANYTIME?? The magic of collecting would be gone, IMHO

PLease STOP!!! Do not get Mike to post any more photos!!! He is the root cause to many of us for this Rolex Addiction!!!!

I think we should

colemanitis · 23 April 2007, 10:33 PM

There's a white dialed GMT in there! HOLY CRAP!

Arturo · 23 April 2007, 11:19 PM

You may not like the guy, but my contact with Cream shows that he really does have the most amazing collection I have ever seen. Cream's collection, which I think you can still see if you do a search, is very real. Some of them were from music awards and gifts and things like that. So without getting back into the irritating discussion about the banned Mr. Cream himself, go take a look at that collection and you will drool.

kenlperry · 23 April 2007, 11:35 PM

Hey, what is that other GMT that has a black dial and what looks like a turqoise and silver bezel? Has anyone else seen that before? Is it a special edition or what?

diablojota · 24 April 2007, 12:01 AM

Well, now we know why the SS Daytonas are so darned hard to get.

diablojota · 24 April 2007, 12:03 AM

Basically the guy is saying that he has so many as they are all slightly different. A few different shades of green on the LVs and subtle other differences. And he also has 2 that match so he can wear one and keep one pristine. At least that's what I understand out of the conversation.

Arturo · 24 April 2007, 12:17 AM

LOoks photoshopped to me. There is not supposed to be different shades of green, red etc on new watch bezels.

nko51 · 24 April 2007, 12:37 AM

I think it's just a Dealer showing his inventory!

Arturo · 24 April 2007, 12:48 AM

Maybe. Dealers don't get that many LV's at once. I think it is photoshop material.

diablojota · 24 April 2007, 12:50 AM

Nope not photochopped. Those are all different. The Pepsi that looks messed up is damaged by light (it appears). The LVs all look in order. I know that the lettering has subtle differences on the LVs between 2003 and after. The white faced GMT is actually an Explorer dial in the GMT. Quite interesting. The guy is OCD if you ask me.

Solo118 · 24 April 2007, 01:16 AM

A dozen SS Daytonas and only 11 LVs? Why? lol

But really thats a great collection

ohlins · 24 April 2007, 01:20 AM

there were indeed different shades of green for the LV bezel....

mlb · 24 April 2007, 02:25 AM

Did you guys see this picture?>

It's just a really faded pepsi insert on a 1675 or 16750.

I too don't really see the point of having so many very similar watches - IMHO two of any model is about right, one to wear and one as a safe queen if you must but who am I to knock this guy's collection, I'm probably just jealous!!

I would like to see a close-up of the top left watch though.

Do you know why the original poster of this chose '1530' for his watch layout? My monitor isn't good enough to tell if there is a 1530 in there somewhere.

Nah! I'm happy for him. I'm quite content with my CW, Buren and Tissot.

Well spotted!

I had not noticed that before you mentioned it. NICE detail.

I wonder what other members make out of that

JJ Irani · 24 April 2007, 04:23 AM

That Daytona/LV superfluous collection made me yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn!!

digdug · 24 April 2007, 07:52 AM

I dont know if you can go by the different shades of green as a way of telling. The watch really does take on different shades. You can turn your wrist slightly and have it almost look black.

Now this thread's turned into a discussion about how green the bezels are etc.

Read this:

http://www.socialfunds.com/news/arti...ticle2270.html

and then let's be plain envious of his (admittedly exaggerated but still) super collection

Maybe we should discuss just how green we are of envy and then turn to discussing the various levels of green we are envious at
