WATCHES

My wife calls me a collector of all things -

Art, Coins, Writing Instruments, Sport Memorabilia, Antiques, etc. So it was only a matter of time that my

bare wrist would need a collection as well. My friends always chided me about my time-piece

challenged wrist: Now they wish I would just shut up.

So, here is my small but growing collection. You can click on the pics for more info and photos

Here is my current collection. I was fortunate this year and picked up two of my grails: Speedmaster 376.0822 and just before the end of the year a near perfect example of a Gallet Excel-O-Graph by Racine. In addition, I added several nice Omegas, a couple of Hamilton Autos and I even won a LeJour Chronograph from ATG Vintage Watches.

This year I will be looking for a nice Navitimer 806, a 1962 Rolex 5513, a Breitling Co-Pilot, a Zenith De Luca, a Movado Super Sub and a Speedy CK2998.

In addition, I will hopefully be adding some interesting dive watches: Omega SM300 & 120, BP FF (Homage ?), etc.

This is an expensive list, but if I can get 1 or 2 it will be a very good year.
