Well, right now the "collection" is all sapphire and 3/4's NIB purchases. I sold the 1601 and only briefly owned an acrylic 5513. My sole acrylic Rolex, the 16750 GMT Master is off being overhauled, so I'm left with only these poor 4, The Sapphire Gang.

There's really nothing special here. No DRSD, no Milgauss, no 1/4 Century Club Prince, not even a SS Daytona or a kermit. These are just some pretty common Rolexes that I enjoy wearing every single d@mn day.

I don't know about you, but for me this will do *quite* nicely. =)

Great family pic Micah, simply stunning!! I really love that dial on the DJ.

Your "boring" collection is CLASSIC and beautiful pal!!

Thanks pal. When I first started posting pics over on TZ, I remember a few people really dumped on those of us posting pics, stuff like "How come people are so egotistical and show offs, always posting pics of common boring Rolexes we've seen a million times" etc etc, the usual trollish cr@p. For some reason, that always stuck with me, I like to mention how boring my watches are now I still get a laugh out of it!

One of those watches really doesnt belong. I mean owning a restaurant makes knowing what the date is important (when food deliveries are arriving and when food is spoiling)

Let me help you out, send me that nice little 3-6-9 watch and I will take care of it for you. =)

That DJ is gorgeous!

The first time I saw someone wearing one of those, I couldn't take my eyes off it.

That boring old collection is fantastic,and even though simple,there is more than meets the eye when you start to study each watch.

Cheers Aaron

I think that among most WIS it is not only the watch but also the pic itself. I enjoy looking at all watches, especially collections, but when the photography is as good as yours I can look at them all day long mate!!

Beautiful "simple" collection, Micah. I especially love the Roman dial DJ (being a sucker for Romans myself). You're missing the all black GMT-II, though. That would be perfect to complete the family.

Will this fill the spot?

This one is off getting an overhaul. It will come back with a red/blue insert, though, because that's the original and I'm a traditionalist.

But I still have the black/black, so I can swap it.

A beautiful and varried SS collection, Micah. Well done!!

Close enough for government work, Micah.

It's a shame that you're going Pepsi, though. Just because it's traditional, doesn't always make it the best.
