And this whole time I thought I was secretly building a nice horological collection! Sigh! I give up! Patek reference 1436 is where the magic is at! Thanks for sharing P. Diddy!

Wow, that's amazing, he's amassed an amazing collection and he's only in his early 40's. A truly outstanding collection!

Actually, I'd take Khalid's collection over the one in the article, at least from a "cool looking watch" perspective. From a dollars and cents perspective, well, that's a different story.

Now that's a collection.
Thanks for sharing Anders. I wonder if he wouldn't mind too much joining our little daily WRUW threads.
