That collection is incredible multiplied by a hundred, or even more descriptive of the collection, incredible raised to the hundredth power!!

I was speechless the instant I first saw the pic.

I thought you had to get permission before borrowing photos of my collection.

IMO, owning the most Rolex watches does not automatically make you 'the true definition of a WIS'.

I know a few WIS who don't own a Rolex.

It's CRAP.

No DJ or Presidents in there. What an unbalanced collection. I am disgusted.


Oh, just kidding btw. Maybe the DJ collection is on another 'pallet'.

Philipp has indeed amassed a collection worthy to be among the best in the world--and has the knowledge to go with it.

It takes years to be able to build up a collection that extensive..

That is a fantastic collection. However, don't a lot of them look pretty much alike???
For me, even if I were to build a collection of that size, I would want it to be diverse.

But for the pure Rolex fanatic - you can't beat that or Mike's. Larry.
