One of the Largest Collections of APs with Porsches, Bimmers and Other Cars>>>>>

A little bit ago I had the pleasure of documenting one of the most amazing collections of AP that to my surprise came along a huge collection of Porsches, BMWs and other fast cars. Enjoy my friends!!!!

Dude, I've never seen anything like that before. Mind-blowing. Give me that Shelby and a couple of the vintage Porsches, and he can keep the other cars, pens, APs, money, etc :-)

Is this conkers secretly? lol

I'm actually surprised with all that money some of the watches that were chosen. I think I like conkers collection way better.

I didn't know the carbon one was like 350k. They are all over chrono24 for low 100s to even under. Talk about horrible depreciation.

Love the porsche collection :).

that is awesome.

Considering that person has a full time employee just to clean and dust the model car collection, I'm surprised he doesn't have a full time watchmaker on staff as well so he doesn't have to send any in for service. Id pick a watchmaker vs a model car cleaning and detailing technician.

Simply unreal. I could look at a hundred more pictures of the cars and watches.

Can you give any hint as to what industry this person is in? What part of the country was this? The combined value of cars and watches boggles the mind!

Thank you for sharing!
