HOLY S**T!!

Has anyone ever made a TRF entrance quite like this before? It's like the door was slammed off the hinges with a battering ram and a tornado blew in.

Insanely awesome stuff

Look forward to hearing the stories behind how a collection like that is acquired.

Not to mention, blowing the Basel Show into the backseat

Mike -- I LOVE the group shots but, if not asking too much, wonder whether you might have a favorite among them (if it won't hurt the others' feelings to tell us!), and whether you might have a closeup of that one to show us?

When are you starting your next thread here?? I can hardly wait!

I am amazed at your restraint.

I've never been a great one for sucking up but I'll admit that at a 'mini GTG' some months ago I was educated as to 'The Legend that is Mike Wood'!!!

Welcome aboard mate....

Hey Mike,

Thanks for sharing your immeasurable collection with us. I can hardly believe that one man has the stamina (and $$$!) to do this much focused collecting.

Cheers.

Crikey....

This thread's still dragging its sorry ass up the Forum!

Still, I think it'll be about 187 years until we reach p.1,555 and I have to come good with some Patek "biggies"....

In awe of the great welcome, and feeling a bit of a fraud as the "legendary" Mike Wood....
