As you see I collect a lot of military and dive watches.I am retiring from my job so next year is going to be less I went to a NAWCC mart last week and I did not buy a thing there were a lot of vintage rolex there.It's going to be good to be retired but with less money I have got to learn to slow down with this watch habit we all have.

Wow, has been quite the year for you with collecting watches! Well done

Good part is you will have a nice collection to carry you into retirement and then some

Continue to enjoy those for many years to come
