As per request…Family Portrait
The family is now complete with different materials. My journey and expedition can come to a final destination 😊 Sorry to disappoint, if you are expecting Rainbow or Le Mans, I am not qualified 😅 ...
Fantastic!...
...but not being 'qualified' is ridiculous given your obvious commitment to the brand : )
Just saw this on IG. Congratulations.
Some very special watches here (like all of them).
Huat Ah!!!
Ok…I can certainly wait and see what my AD will call me for … better be something special 😜 For now, 7 days a week rotation is good with these.
I am guilty as charged 😅
Honestly I like them better than GMTs and Subs, in that order.
OMG... what a set! 🤤🤤🤤
Impossible to see so many heavy hitters in one place! Do you have a favorite? Enjoy them all!
That is too kind of you 1WatchMan.
That is a very tough question....they are all different so I like them all )
Raymond! You’ve outdone yourself!
What is your next trick? These are amazing individually and mind blowing together. Bravo! Enjoy!
No more tricks, Ed 😅
I’m at the mercy of ADs…I can only wait for their calls but I’m happy so far with what they allocated me.
What
a great portrait. Your latest addition fits in perfectly. I just love the ice dial 😀
WOW...nice family!
Amazing diversity...well done! What a journey that must have been..Congratulations!
You’re right about this…8 years in the making
I got that 116500LN in 2016, so quite a marathon 😊
Thanks for sharing
Stunning collection. I think it may take a little bit time which one to choose while you have a Daytona day
You're very welcome, Jari.
A pleasure to share here. Sometimes I just close my eyes and point P but I probably won't be wearing the White Tiger or YG one at work )
That made my day, my dear Miranda :))
Let the wait begin. Appreciate your kind comments.
That’s just day dreaming, Nico. WG is gone, discontinued. I can only wait for YG, which is impossible too.
I think most ADs get one or 2 and I’m not their top client 😢🤦🏻♂️
I will love that blessing of yours and will gladly do so to share it here when that day comes....
With that WG model being made for only 8 months, not sure if this new YG model will be made equally long or ?? but at least I will know the wait is "over" or not, lol....Cheers my friend.
Such an amazing, stunning, shining collection!
We appreciate you sharing your collection with us!! The gem set one on the OF is a favorite of mine. A truly diverse collection
Regarding your steel Daytonas…
did you consider asking your AD if you could trade in your white- or black-dial 116500 for the newer 126500? Or would you prefer to keep both current versions and add the new one(s) as well?
Interesting question…I never thought about that actually.
My local AD does not have a preowned watch section but I know their other branches do. I am also embarrassed to ask for the newer 126500 steel version to be honest. Therefore, I don’t think I will be getting the new one but I am keeping both 116500 for su...
So you would keep both versions even though they look basically the same?
Or do you see them as different enough?
They all look the same, lol....except for some color variations and maybe movements.
In this case of the steel, it is a different movement but same can be argued that I have 4131s in YG and Pt...or dial looks similar to Zenith 165xx and yet collectors still want those. I am not that noble to say no to $$ knowing how popular they are and m...
That is sound and honest reasoning👍🏽.
Good point about the movement differences and also the Zenith connection. I can relate to all that.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Absolutely wonderful work.
But I am the bearer of good news. Your journey hasn’t come to its final destination or can’t. Please to complete such a wonderfully focused collection you must surely have one vintage piece and the most important Daytona reference there is ?????? The 1652...
Haha...Miles, I know your preference on those vintage pieces and I agree they are attractive.
I am very wary on threading the vintage Rolex world. Someday when I come across a genuine collector, never say never...but I will need to study more in this before I walk into that door. My thoughts to stick with moderns are they will become future vintag...
