10,000 posts, a pictorial retrospective

Recommended Posts

James.

Through the trials and tribulations that one gains from a meager (almost) three years, and 10k posts on this fine forum, I've decided to go back and photographically list all the watches that have come and gone over that time. From the complete albeit fun, cheap garbage, to those damned ROOs, and finally, the current state of the union with my insignificant sole replica watch. Sad face.

 

 

 

 

 

So, as I know that's already too many words for most of the membership without pichers, without further ado... you fucking arsehole enablers...

Thanks gents, unfortunately they've almost all now left me except for the Tudor. My new Rainer only holds 8 so the downsizing and consolidating will continue. Meh.

 

Lovely VDB 2014, I wonder where that came from :Whistle:

Quite a journey you've had. Some nice pieces have been through your hands. What do you think of the vdb?

That was one hell of a PAM collection, even if you didn't have all of them at the same time. What an uncommon pleasure to have owned so many models.

Absolutely love it, it's massive but it's size seems to be exacerbated by the shape of the case but it's surprisingly comfortable on the wrist

Great 10,000th post and some amazing watches there James. Those pam builds are amazing and I bet when you were putting this together you've regretted selling some of them.... Even if trimming down was required.

 

Congrats!

Congrats on the milestone! and the rather sterling collection. Scary when you list what you have had and sold over the years.
