^ That is such an amazing collection! Really liked the Panerai 380. In the last pic, what is the watch in the dispaly box, top right with the leather strap?
What watch do you wear?

Wow I have not seen you around in years, If I remember right you are the guy who had a Sony Vio with bugs behind the screen?
Your company hosted OCUK forums at one point right?
Well done on the watch, not to my taste but hope you enjoy it.

Hi to all those who've said Hi too
I like that one a lot and that Rolex Explorer with the white face...
The TAG F1 though... I reckon its a good thing you got rid of that - still I'd love to have a collection like that.
or save yourself a few k and look at glashutte original

Indeed - to quote AskMen's the watch snob: "An imitation Lange is still better than a real Breitling, Omega or Rolex."

Well its just the Sub-C, the new Exp 2 and the IWC Portuguese at the moment, the others came and in went in the build up to this,
looking back on the pics there are a few there that id love to have again, the IWC 3227 is a future classic and mine was a minter, the Panerai 380 is excellent value as Panerai go and sits very nicely on the wrist for a big watch and i also had a soft spot for the breitling blackbird,
I think i can justify one more in, then need to stop buying and selling for a little while
Glad that you liked them
I really dislike the watch snob and that statement proves that he is only interested in image.

Hi to all those who've said Hi too
nice, well good to see you back, what are you driving these days? I remember you had a rather nice TVR (my user name was Paras back then).
Cyrus - lovely set of watches you have there. I would like a IWC at some point in time.

Interesting, Cyrus. How much would you say you gain/lose overall (if anything) when buying and selling the watches?
Man of Honour
If you pop over to motors you'll see (or check my sig!)
Paras - The trainee Dr (or no longer trainee!)
Soldato
my main gains or losses tend to come on the fluctuations between stg and € (im in ireland)
all the watches i have at the moment i bought new, most of the rest were bought in mint condition pre owned on tz-uk, generally if you buy right you can resell at the same price,
of watches bought new, paneral and rolex hold their value best
overall i wouldnt be much more than £500 down on buying and selling all of the watches listed

That's a great collection.
I think you should start collecting cars.
used to...
before i got married, cars a good bit more expensive in ireland but over the past 5 years ive had
1 x BMW e60 530i msport
2 x BMW e46 m3
1 x BMW z4 coupe 3.0si
have an e92 325i m sport at the moment
Yep thats me, after a year of working I decided its not for me, so I went back to doing what I am good at.
F40, I did not expect anything less lol, that must be fun around the streets of London!

Love the IWC Portuguese - I have an Aquatimer that I'd love to trade for one sometime.
I was in Brussels a couple of weeks ago, and spent ages drooling at the Lange and Sohn watches in a dealer's window there, alongside Patek Phillipes etc. All way beyond my budget, alas.

Surely it demonstrates the opposite given that the three brands mentioned are much more prominent in the minds of most people as far as watches are concerned.
Though I do agree, he is a bit annoying if you take everything he says at face value. Lots of it seems to be fairly obvious trolling though there is some truth beneath some of the satire.
Jimmy Saville's Rolex is up for grabs:
As you'd expect its very tasteful and understated...
