It's amazing seeing someone going into that much detail with dozens of vintage watches in front of them.

Incredible.

Just wow. I'm not sure anyone could have a more enviable collection. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor.

Thanks for the link.

Throughly enjoyed watching it.

What an amazing collection, I would have loved to of seen the unique to him, Patek Philippe specials that he had made!

And the story of the watch dealer back in the 80's who "kicked" a Daytona back under the table, because it was nothing special!!!

Hindsight, would be a marvellous gifts.

Though, it was nice to hear, that even the "Big" collectors can get it wrong. When he commented on the opportunities of getting a double or single red Rolex Sub/SD, but gave it a miss as at that time, they were nothing special!
