I had an impromtu crash course with ck77 yesterday. Went to an AD (correct ka ck77?) and he basically dumped on me tons of informations as we molested some watches. The sales assistant was reduced to just unlocking the displays as ck77 got much more info with him! Thanks again bro!

m1a1> mine took years to collect. Plus ck77 (again!) alerted me on the Hamilton sale

Bro that piece is lovely, isn't she?

I collected them over a span of 20 years. I only have 2 winders. Most of the watches are kept in Storm Cases like the ones shown below.

They are not expensive and are tough and water resistant. They also float. Thanks for the kind words on the blog.

At the moment the BR01-92, Breitling Aerospace and Marathon JSAR are the current favourite. But since I am reviewing 2 watches, I am wearing those.

hanz079,

All the watches were sold to a friend who have been asking me to sell to him the watches since I assembled them a long time ago. Good friend and sold on instalment plan. There will be other, and I will post them on the sales forum. However these are not assembled by me. I am consolidating the collection to just a couple of brands and watches.

hanz079 · « **Reply #193 on:** July 10, 2011, 07:04:17 PM »

Hahaha... seems like we are very much alike... some of my watches also sell to close friend by installment...
