Wow thanks all, very humbling reading these comments. I remember just innocently posting, something like, 14 watches, 27 years, collection complete. Then it just took on a life of its own, Kathryn and i would sit watching the comments coming in whilst have tea. She wasnt into watches; but even she was amazed by the thread!

Then i wrote the book after she died. Its a book about our time together, the expeditions, the horses and about coping with loss.

So, thank you all!
Steve

That's probably the best thread on the internet.

I'm looking forward to reading through the other post this week. I also just ordered your book and will read it in August some time. Looking forward to it.

I will be receiving the book on the 30th of this month

Love your thread.

I’ve recently been eyeing the 6 digit Rolex Explorer 2 with a black dial.

And I like the comments you made about it on your thread.
