Wristwatch collectors out there?

I'm a huge Patek fan. I'd never be able to actually OWN one, but their designs are striking.

If I were me, I'd need a smaller format to fit under the suit coat, though. And I'd go for older vintage Patek watches than anything else. They were more... "simple," which is kind of an oxymoron when talking about time-keepers.

I walked by a used watch store today at City Hall stop in Singapore (some good indian restaurants in the food mall) and they must've had 20+ Patek's in the window. Aquanaut, Nautilus, complications, you name it. I kind of kicked myself for not buying the Aquanaut over my IWC. At the time they were similarly priced, but fast forward 15 years the Patek would've increase 3x as much as the cost. The IWC is worth about 1.25 what I paid, but I could've owned a Patek!

Rolex's, this one store had about 150+ on display from current models and on; all pre owned. That is just one store and not in a fancy area either.
