Or more than one watch?




Notice even this guy can’t get a steel 5711.

By impressive do you mean Douche?

I'd like to have three rose gold 5711s, and I'll take both of the 5980s, also.

Not sure why the negativity — I for one love this! What an Insane collection OP! As a guy aspiring to his first patek, And ANY ONE of these, I marvel at and honor the collection. Nice work!

If you had a collection of this value would you even consider for a split second composing a photo like this with the sole purpose of showing off?

Because this individual doesn’t give a crap about watches. He is more interested in letting you know that he owns a bunch of expensive watches.

Maybe I’m getting old and cranky and senile but social media has destroyed this country with the desire to let everyone know what you have and how good life is.

And when you lift the skirt there isn’t much substance underneath. Likely leveraged everything to buy a rolls and some watches and has 5k in the bank.

Ahhh- I need some coffee. Bad way to start a Sunday am. Not sure why this pic rubbed me the wrong way but it did.

I indeed have posted pictures of my relatively modest collection, which includes 0 PP or RM. We’re here because we celebrate watches, not to be the personality police, and OP has quite a collection, which I’m glad he shared because I have never seen, in one picture, so many extraordinary watches. His motivations — other than his obvious love of Watches, which we all share – – are unknown and irrelevant to me. Ultimately sounds like your collection is relatively modest like mine — I’m just not self-conscious about it.

I like it too. If I could, I'd even own more Patek Philippe than he does.
However, I don't like his shoes.

The only good reason I can think of to carefully strap so many watches to a steering wheel is as some sort of makeshift watch winder.

That is the sole reason. Oh, and the fact that you’re so insanely insecure you require the validation of social media.

No comment on your age, because I don’t know that, but I would say if this is a picture that leads you to believe that “social media has destroyed this country,” I’d say you’re that’s probably taking it a bit far. I’d also postulate that our friend from Seoul has more than $5k in his bank, but i’m not so much interested in your speculation about the man’s net worth, because I’m loving reviewing his watch collection, because I love watches, this is a watch form, featuring discussions about Watches, photographs about Watches, people who enjoy talking about watches and looking and shopping and buying watches, and celebrating the coolness of watches.

Lol. Jesus. How did I miss that. Makes the picture all the more douchy. Good catch.

Let me photoshop a bunch of watches and post it on instagram as if I own all these. My initial suspicions were on the money.

How does one slide a watch on a bracelet up to their elbow?

As was noted, its a fake photo. I dont know how to upload an image on the forum but if you look at the 3 gold 5711s, they aren't the same size.

Are you saying the guy doesn’t have 5k in the bank either?

I don’t believe most of the people on this forum purchase watches because they “need” them. If he wishes to spend his money on watches and show them off, it’s not a problem for me.

I don’t know if it’s a fake photo or not, but this collection isn’t really out of the realm of possibility for quite a few individuals, including alotta TRF members. Pretty common type of photo on the gram these days..especially if the guy is a gentleman dealer.

Couldn't see the shoes... Never made it past the jeans. Speaking of, are those leggings underneath (see: right knee)?

Maybe it's just me, but even with limitless funds, I'd never want a Rolls manufactured after about '96. The BMW engine was the end of a Rolls being a Rolls (IMO).
