Thank you my friend. I’m almost ready for PP. the problem is wrist time. I don’t really baby my watches and the PP line might make me a little too nervous. When my babies get a little older and if my work can become a little less physical I’ll be all over a 5711, well that is if the SS 5711 isn’t $100k by the time I’m ready.

Haha thanks bud! I can only wear so many watches at once. I actually really like the ritual of going to the bank to pick up new watches for the week or month. It’s almlst like going to the store to buy a new watch. It kind of reinvigorates the enthusiasm for all the watches.

But basically it comes down to now wanting or needing to keep so many at home.

Envy is a most unattractive trait, don't you think?
"Guilty as charged", "take him down, bailiff"

Haha no judgment from me my friend

Glad you’re coming around on the AP. It’s increcible, really.

My bank doesn’t charge me for the box, it’s comp’d.

Trust me my friend, I do still flip. I wouldn’t be able to get new pieces without losing old ones, unfortunately. I do feel like I’m building to something though little by little, and honestly I think I’m almost done. At least till Basel 2018, is that anytime soon?

Monster collection. Oysterfleeeeex

[Chloe&Harley]

Very nice “family photo” for me that’s a dream

[kwingy]

Great collection! Love the speedy tuesday on bracelet.

[Chiboy]

Beautiful collection and pictures, as always!

I can't believe you have already moved on from that WG Daytona OF. And of course the black SS Daytona. Damn, you move fast!

[Brainh18]

I have a small family, but we’re very close.

[thomaswentworth]

Wow what an amazing collection!!

[travisb]

Love the collection my friend. I'd like to know how they rank..

[Boaters]

That is one beautiful collection thanks for sharing!

[jrs146]

Amazing collection. I could go for every single one of those myself. Well done my friend. What do you wear the most?

Me too! As we all know, lume shots can be tricky - especially with multiple pieces. Well done!

Get your name on a wait list and by the time they are grown your name will come up.

Looking good!

Thank you very much!

So I wear the LVC and 116500 the most. However, I just traded my black dial for white dial Daytona, so whether or not it matches the wrist time of the black dial is yet TBD. After that I’d say the AP CE Diver.

Thank you bud!

Yeah the lume shots are always tricky. It’s easier to shoot the lume only in total
Darkness, but trying to expose the watch and lume is the challenge. Then toss in several pieces and you have a tall order.

Anyhow, thanks for the comment and compliment. Much appreciated!

Oooooh. This would be tough.

I’ll just give you my top 4-5 for now while I think it over.

1. LVC
2. Daytona 116500
3. AP CE Diver
4. Tie between Tudor B.B. and 16710. This needs a little explanation. I think most would agree the 16710 is a superior watch. They are getting so damn pricey though, which is nice as an owner, but contextually speaking it’s difficult to say it’s better than the Tudor by $7000-8000k. The B.B. is an incredible bang for the buck, maybe the best ever. Both get about equal wrist time. That’s why I consider them a tie.
5. Speedy Tuesday.

Good explanation and makes perfect sense to me. All have their proper place.
