Absolutely cool....
hobby, I've spent many years building Lego and to this day find myself ogling some of their sets 
. As ED said, Technics are always the most fascinating , but I like even some of the Duplo sets LOL. I noticed that they introduced a nice Ninja theme recently and they've got some really appealing stuff there!
Do you have any other hobbies, besides watches?
I thought about giving up, watch collecting for a little while to try other things. My collection is not worth a lot just some Citizen, Casio G-Shocks Seiko Monster a few other low end pieces. The only watch I'm currently waiting to get back is a old Elgi...
Do you even have to ask????
Not really a hobby, more like a religion: oh, I also happen to like Motorcycles, Billiards, Mountain Biking, Rock Climbing, and this: ( click here ) -MW...
LMAO MW,
I too like Mountain Climbing . I guess we've got another thing in common. I only tried it once when I was visiting friends in Vancouver, it was a ~10m high wall set-up for visitors to try out and I did manage to get to the top. That was about a decade ago...
i'm sure there are mountaineering clubs everywhere in the world Filip
all you have to do is look for them and you'll find one close to you i'm sure. i was a scout when i was younger and carried on with climbing, fell walking, abseiling when i was in the army. i did the 10 tors and 3 peaks which are 2 very famous endurance f...

re: LMAO
Rock climbing walls aka rock gyms are good for working on technique and of course you don't have to drive far to have fun. -MW
Yep,
takes a lot less time off your hands, though there aren't any magnificent vistas to and loads of fresh air to enjoy along the way . Many people like hiking for that reason, but mountain climbing is considerably harder and more demanding than just hiking s...
+1 on mountain climbing..
that but that was on my pre-kids days... I did one outdoor climb about 150ft up a rock in Joshua Tree and after that, I quit. LOL...
cool!
There's all kinds of cool climbing at Joshua Tree. We use to go up there on the weekdays and hit Morning Thunder at the Grotto. Illusion is a great mult-pitch. Tried several 5.11's but it was tough! Now you make me want to dig out all my gear and go climb...
Hobbies
This may sound odd but I love Lego. I have a few hundred sets totaling over $10k at this point, not including duplicates. I've actually built over 80% of the sets as most are purchased because I like the set, not necessarily because of future potential va...
That is a cool hobby
I love legos too. Which one is your favorite and do you build your own? My favorite is a Ferrari Enzo technics set that I got a few years ago as a b-day present. Regards, ED-209

Hahahaha....
well, when I see what they've got today I wish they had stuff like that when I was a child . Not that I'd actually buy it now hahahaha. A couple of years ago I saw a really nice Formula 1 (Ferrari) Lego set, but when I went back more recently I noticed it...
Yeah
And the prices for the Ferrari sets have gone sky high. They had some really great sets too.
Best set
My favorite sets are the Architecture series and I usually have one or two on my desk. Currently the Space Needle and Falling water are getting some desk time. The most challenging set had to be the ultimate Millenium Falcon set. Just under 5,200 pieces a...
I've got the....
Space Needle! Great item really, I hope they design more offerings for the architecture series!
re: Hobbies
Have you been to Legoland in Carlsbad? Lego is cool, there's a store in Glendale Galleria and the pieces they have now are some I wish I had when we were kids. -MW
I love Legos!
Now that I have two little cousins, ages 7 and 9, I have an excuse to buy them again. I now enjoy building Legos with my two Lego proteges! Cheers, Daos
Motorsports....
and soccer (football really, I dislike the silly american term ) were always the most prominent, or in other words the ones that I've spent the most time being involved with. But there are plenty more, including the fantastic one that brought us to this p...
Both,
I don't think that when somebody is a genuine motorsport enthusiast he can write off any type of performance vehicle .
Too many hobbies....
Music, old cars, toys, coins, stamps, woodworking, landscaping/home repair, art projects (not work related). This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2011-04-11 08:27:06

My first love: vintage Gibson flat-top guitars.
I also have two custom guitars from an independent luthier. Guitars are an extension of my love for music. Other than guitars and watches, I am also into my Labrador Retriever, who I'm training as a performance dog to compete in AKC obedience trials. I'm ...
