Your collection is CRAZY!!! Two of my favorite "historic" Rolexes are Mil Subs and COMEXes. You have a TON of BOTH. Much kudos and enjoy them! Thanks for letting us have a glimpse.

Wow!!! How does one achieve such a collection! speechless. I can't even fathom the time, money, dedication, etc, etc, etc, to put that collection together! Congratulations! Seems like anyone that wants a Milisub will have to call Haywood Milton!!!! He's got the market cornered!

Spoken like a true gentleman! Must say I like the view of Milton Towers gate from the Bentley, my father had a 4.5 Supercharged one moons ago and this looks much more comfy!
Wonderful collection of watches too!

What a wonderful collection of rare watches with an enigmatic history.

Maybe someday one of Paul Newman's descendants may discover one in his estate which would end up being the Paul Newman MilSub. Imagine that.

You mean from the days when he served in the Ministry of Defense?
