Am I a collector or just boring...

...I've heard it from all my friends. "They all look the same."

But I love the diversity!!!


I can't explain it. I can't see owning a Rolex Sub and a Rolex GMT as they are to similar, but these......I have no problem!

I miss my Rad! I would love either of those. Rad is not just a dress watch, pretty much the most versatile watch there is

I can see why your friends would say that Mik.

As long as you don't call one of them by another's name you should be ok.

Great pic!

I know the 390 is too new to say for sure, but, do you have a favorite?

Myk, do those two things have to me mutually exclusive?

Great collection Mik and it is the little differences and subtleties that keep us going!! Now only if our wives could detect them they'd understand...

210 is my favorite fit and wear on the wrist. I would trade it up to a 232 or 372 though.

190 is the best movement I own. So nice to wind. The sound is so quiet, and overall so accurate. Gold OEM hand goodness.

390 is to new to tell, but this dial is something else!!!! WOW. You don't even notice the ecru luminova that many are complaining about. I thought Panerai was overdoing it, but I didn't even notice until I thought to look for it. This layout just works.

111G is special. My first and my wedding present. Not going anywhere.

Chump!

The forum can be tough for sure, but I have met some good people over there. Many of them post here, but their names aren't as easy to recognize. This place is still the friendliest watch forum I frequent.

I think those look great together in one collection.

I also own both a Sub and GMT so I guess we're in the same boat.
