Wow, you have a very nice collection! I appreciate you taking the time to post up those pics and links, and I'm glad to hear that orbita is a good brand since I don't know too much when it comes to winders. I'll be picking up the winder this afternoon so I'll let you know what the company HQ looks like.

I like the Daytona a little better. Seems like everyone has a Submariner, but still a nice watch nonetheless.

Ask for Kevin and tell him John from WATCH TALK FORUMS sent you!

Good stuff as always. Beautiful photography! Thanks for sharing.

Is this something to wear to complement your personal sense of style? I can sort of see how that works, although I think I'd rather have dreadlocks and some hemp sandals

A watch is basically a functional piece of jewelery IMO. From your mindset I guess you could also argue that there is no need for a Rolex or any other automatic high-end watch when you can just buy a $20 casio that will tell you the time just the same, or why drive a BMW when a perfectly good kia can get you from point A to point B just fine.

I had forgotten all about you, it must be about two years since you last posted. FWIW, i don't come around here much anymore either, I mean how many times can you read about a snowflake symbol. Great pics as usual

I love Rolex too and also own a 16610.

Hope you enjoyed the photos!

I love Mont Blanc pens! I traded in my Tag Carrera and am picking up a Daytona like that one for my Christmas present.

Do you mean the ceramic bezel GMT or the all-gold Submariner? This is the GMT and it runs about 6k or so:

This is the all gold Sub (not yet available in two-tone or stainless):

It runs just shy of 30k.

I've kinda got a pen thing too....here's a gold Rolex pen the President of Rolex USA gave me:

Here's the latest Mont Blanc I picked up....the "Cool Blue Pen."
