Breitling Airwolf

Muffnbluff · 03-31-2013, 05:28 PM

Here are some of my old watches that I've sold:

Omega Seamaster GMT (a.k.a. the great white)

Omega Aqua Terra:

And the one I prob shouldn't have sold, the Sinn 656L, only 500 made.

If you can tell, I have quite a passion for watches and cars and go through both of them. Expensive hobbies to have! lol

Mr. ///M3 RD · 03-31-2013, 05:29 PM

I guess I have the same number of cars as watches the oldest one being a TUDOR Original Oyster Case by ROLEX Date & Day. The youngest being a simple CITIZEN. The ROLEX being over 50 years now and my daily companion.

Mind you the TUDOR has been cleaned and received a new crystal some 4 times by now, each time the cost goes up as we all know

I'm a huge watch enthusiast. I was in to cars first, but ever since I got my Tag Heuer Link Automatic Chronograph at 15, watches and cars began to go hand in hand.

That is a nice one

Mine is actually a TUDOR Oyster Prince ... writing is so small I had to get out my magnifying glass

purchase price in 1962 was $387- or there about ... last apprized in 2011 in Vegas was over $18K ... tells you something about inflation

The single shot is from the Internet ... mine needs a new crystal again
