James. 4 Posted September 10, 2014 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... Reps and homage builds Panerai etc 111, obviously 183 203 Anodized mini-bronzo Bunch of 1st gen builds 3634 rouge cream 6154 RG PAM 379N PAM 339 PAM 366 Some random MM from Jackson/ or Tat and another Southie dial'd 6154 Southie dial'd 6152/D PAM 000 Bronze hornlug PAM 329 PAM 48mm Egi PAM Ferrari GMT 003 Tat Mini-fiddy 6152 RP 6154 PR rivet 6152 4 liner 3634 cali 3634 Kiefer 234N 299K MM HL heat aged 6154 RP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James. 4 Posted September 10, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheSav 2 Posted September 10, 2014 Quite a journey you've had. Some nice pieces have been through your hands. What do you think of the vdb? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myaz 3 Posted September 10, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted September 10, 2014 Quite a journey you've had. Some nice pieces have been through your hands. What do you think of the vdb? 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,350 Posted September 11, 2014 Very nice pieces, both gens and most of the reps. Congrats on the 10K posts! You're a funny dude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisby 1 Posted September 11, 2014 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!
