keep throwing heat and you'll have it all!

what schools are you going to?

buy the right watches and they have been steadily appreciating for the last 10 yrs, unlike most other investments

Speaking of Panerais, did anyone catch the cameo of the Sly's PAM in "Rambo"? Even my wife said, "Hey look, a Panerai!" She is WELL-TRAINED...

All beautiful watches and I get why you love to buy/trade/own/collect them. Some of the watches just posted are truely jaw dropping. I actually have a small watch collection myself which are all gifts. Most of them are the slim, thin watches that feel like i'm wearing nothing at all (like Ned Flanders in his really tight, sexy ski outfit; I hope some of you watch the Simpsons!). But I have a few of those chronograph monstrosities that are in the same size range as those pictured above. And you know what? I HATE wearing them because they feel unnatural (like having a miniature TV and DVD player straped to my wrist), they are bulky and interfere with my dress shirts, I always know I am wearing a watch when I have one of those strapped on, and honestely, I feel like a dork wearing those types of watches. I think they look best in their display case, and I can see collecting them and proudly displaying them (I'm being serious, they are works of art), but I look for comfort first when buying a watch; oh, and that it can tell me the time accurately to within 10 seconds over an entire year is more than enough for me.

Very cool, but I don't want the bulk personally.

Can you believe double reds???

I've had two in the last ten years. My God! they're up 1000%!

It's not even a nice watch IMHO. That's why I sold them.

They'll have to pry my 6263 from my cold blue hands though.

I already have 4 cars, and with only 2 parking spots...

actually I want to move onto a bigger piece of property (lots o land here in texas) so I can build myself a gokart track, and have a nice big barn garage.
