Phenomenal collection, Andy, you're even one of just the four guys that have a WG YM2!

If you could only keep three, which three?

Killing me. In response to your question I would buy to more WG YM2 but other owners have gone into witness protection programs.

Honest answer is I took the photos based on the way I organize them in my mind. Dress, work and play. With that in mind and some diversity sought my three watch collection would be Playtona, DD WG Anniversaries and SD43.

I would most miss in that scenario YG bluesy Sub.

Sorry if I am taking this to serious but it is an OCD thing😄

No it's still around (on wrist currently) as is the YG Black face Sub. Only thing new was the RG Daytona and the camera. Sorry for the rudandancy was trying to improve photos. Waiting on an oysterflex RG and PP 5522 for now.

So, in all seriousness, do you always have a couple of watches in getting serviced? Do you use a winder, or set each watch when you decide to wear it?
Due to a recent downsizing at a chocolate manufacturer I have been able to acquire the services of a group of watch experts photographed below. They attend to all of my watch needs including setting, servicing and selection.

In seriousness I do rotate servicing and use (that's why I tend to group photo on weekends only). With 4 or 5 around at a time choosing isn't an issue as I tend to pull 1 or 2 from each of the group photos max they sort of have a pre ordained "place" in the lineup. It is overly meticulous and anal retentive but it works for me.

Wow, your collection is certainly drool-worthy, but having a whole staff available to tend to your collection is even more impressive!

Not impressive when you consider that they have threatened to unionize and the one with the orange face has threatened violence. I live in fear of umpa lumpas.

Very kind words elevating my collection to one of celestial significance I am blessed to have had the time, proximity to ADs, and luck of resources to accumulate it.

Thanks again as there is always a part of me that wonders "holly crap I must be nuts to collect this way". At least here I know I am surrounded by similar nuts.
