PGL 0 Posted April 30, 2011 Outstanding collection my friend , thanks for sharing Where do you keep them all ??? Thanks mate. I have two suitcases and one big leather box. The ones that have NATO straps are in a tie box so I have all the NATOs laying there so they don't get twisted or wrinkled :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aren 27 Posted April 30, 2011 Hi PGL...nice to have you back. You've been MIA for a bit. I trust all is well with you. Amazing collection! Thanks for sharing. Nice pictures. Glad you enjoy your watches and wear what you like. If the colours make you happy, that is really important. Some men can get away with vibrant colours and look great... you are no doubt among them. Again, glad to see you back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, glad to see you back. Thanks Aren! Yes I have been (and still am) quite busy... swamp with work... Hope everything is good on your end. I don't know if I can get away with color watches but I surely like them Sometimes I think I need to start selling some before they take all the space in the house @powderfreak, thanks mate!

dave47 6,477 Posted June 6, 2011 WOW!! Those are indeed a very COLORFUL, diverse collection. Enjoy them all -- and thanks for the colorful review. dave Wow guys, thanks for the compliments on my watches. I really really thought most of you would hate them (and tell me) LOL... The "feel good" thing is exactly what I was looking for but I didn't know how to express it in English, but it is exactly what my watches are to me. Anyways, I will try to post the rest of them soon.

Miracle 13 Posted June 6, 2011 Shit wow. That's a lot of watches Very nice. Hello guys! Long time no see! A few months ago I posted my MARINA MILITARE collection and told some of you that I would post pictures of my collection some day. Well that day is almost here. Since I am a member in another forum (in Spain) and posted some of my watches there I thought I should post them here as well. They are all almost in full summer mode, which means lots (and I mean LOTS) of colorful straps. Yellow and orange suit me well, I am always in a very cheery mood so those colors make me happy. Anyways, I know most of you would not wear watches that are not black or brown but I really like them this way. Of course, when the fall/winter comes, I change the straps on the MMs to black or brown leather... I talk/write too much, here they are (no reps in these pictures by the way): MARINA MILITAREs FOSSIL & Co. STEEL "WEIRD ONES" HILFIGER & Co. STRAPPED IN NATOs There are two watches I bought for $0.99!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myaz 3 Posted June 6, 2011 I'll bet the watch battery salesperson loves your collection as well. That many watches sure would put me behind in the mornings, trying to decide. Tough choices. And one amazing collection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kolchak 17 Posted June 6, 2011 PGL - if you're still following this thread, I'm curious which ones are your favorites? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PGL 0 Posted July 2, 2011 Hi there, I have been M.I.A. lately but I just checked this thread... so I am going to answer you Kolchak, in case you are stil reading... LOL... My favorites are the MARINA MILITARE... at least are the ones I use the most. But lately, since I posted these pictures I have acquire A LOT of cheap homages of ROLEX subs and I have customized them with NATO straps and colorful bezels and I am using those everyday... I even change watches twice a day... one for work and another one to go out and about for dinner/drinks/whatever... Oh, and I forgot, I have changed the way I store them.... precut foam is my friend now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kolchak 17 Posted July 2, 2011 thanks - I would have guess the pam reps & homages. I usually wear my most recent purchases but always end up digging out a pam or breit. One more follow up question - what are your most expensive pieces/reps & can you estimate how much you've spent on the entire collection? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted July 2, 2011 Impressive, colorfull collection, PGL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PGL 0 Posted July 2, 2011 Kolchak, I'd rather not check how much I have spent in watches over the years... LOL... but I have to say that every year for Christmas, birthday, anniversary, etc... I get a watch "for free" so not all of my watches were bought by me. Lately I have spent like $200 on SOKI watches (a very cheap sub homage) but I got 20 watches in return so it was not a bad deal since they all work very well and I have them "customized" to my liking... My goodness, I think I need to be locked away... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Tex 0 Posted July 6, 2011 Impressive......Obi Wan has taught you well!!!!All kidding aside...really nice collection!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PGL 0 Posted July 9, 2011 Well, since last time I have bought and customized some watches to my liking... I have used NATO straps on all of them because I really like how comfortable they are and how cool they look on my watches, in fact sometimes I buy the strap and mod the watch to match the strap... I am sick, I know... Well, here are some pictures (the stamped name is the one I use in a watch forum from Spain) I am awaiting a few more watches and straps so it will get "bigger" in a few days (hopefully).
