Wristwatch collectors out there?

Footbag · 10-24-2008, 03:58 PM

I've got a Breitling Navitimer and my grandfathers Patek Phillipe. The Patek is my best watch!

But for some reason I've been wearing a Frank Muller Conquistador Tourbillon Knock-off! Because I tend to bang them around at work.

I don't really collect watches, but I have more than one now and I would love to have a couple more. So, I guess I could qualify as a collector. My everyday watch is a Breitling B-1 and my "special occassion" watch is a Breitling Montebrilliant Legende.

Earlier this week I was at a Breitling client appreciation dinner and was able to try on a couple of limited/special edition Breitlings including a Breitling for Bentley Flying B which was all yellow gold and diamond encrusted. I believe the retail value on that one was almost $200K.

That dinner must have been quite some gala...
Glad that you could go..
200K on your wrist....
whew..
I love to play off watches now and again. I seem to lease them as I turn them over fairly frequently..
I just had this Glycine Combat relumed at IWW.
Wonderful watch.

Hacks, winds, is automatic, glows nicely now.

Anything by Armani will do you well for day/night wear.

I also looked at a PVD Hamilton Khaki Subzero, it was amazing. REALLY AMAZING.

I really like these watches.

I love watches but can't afford to collect them.
