Blimey... this thread resurrected from back from the beginning of time!!

My modest collection extends a little way beyond just Submariners and Sea-Dwellers...I am fortunate to also own a few old Daytonas, GMT-Masters, Explorers, Milgausses (Milgeese?), vintage Rolex Panerais, and a few bubble backs & Princes.

Here's a very old pic of some of my other sports watches



there are now a few more!

Well, I'd say that just about does it.

You call yourself a collector? Better check it against Mike's humble collection first. You haven't even scratched the surface with your mere dozen rare models!

But all joking aside Mike, great collection. Not that you care (nor should you) but you have my respect for caring for these rare pieces.

I am quite interested in the finer details/stories attached to each one. Have you done any sort of blog or web site with the collection of details and (literally) war stories each one holds? As cool as the watches are, often the stories are cooler...

Feel free to PM or post here for everyone.

Awesome.

Thanks for the kind comments, J!m...they all got stories to tell, not them I'm much good at recounting them! My modest collection pales into insignificance against the hauls owned by some of the more discreet collectors here! But I do feel pretty blessed all the same!

My pleasure, Mike.

Hopefully the stories aren't lost!
