This is great!
Given the environment you are in here, it's definitely still at the collection end of the spectrum 
For watch utilitarians (one will do, or even worse - the phone) we are probably all obsessed 
And by all means keep it up!
When does "collecting" become "addiction"?
Took the time briefly to take a family portrait of my Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 5402 I had started this family originally with the A-818. The 5402 family and particularly the A-series belonged into the category: icon, really nice design, very comfortable ...
Just fantastic!
Bravo HSTE! I think it takes a lot of diligence and discipline to stick on a great single theme like this. Also with these beauties, you have every excuse in the workd to commission a cabinetmaker to make you a special display case.
Thanks Joepny! It is "unfortunately" just one of many themes...
...I stck to so far. Cheers, HSTE
I think you are the answer to your own question
It's only an addiction when you stop referring to others as having a better collection than you do: For example, People ask me "How many Seikos do you own?" I answer "About 60" They either say "Oh my!" or "That's alright then, not so many" To which I add,...
Well, a late D series could be interesting....
.....I think the D's are in terms of production numbers the smalles batch. They made 2000 A-series, 1000 B- and 1000 C-series, and they began with D-1000 but did not go to D-2000 but stopped somewhere in the middle. The hihgest I have so far seen was the ...
Nicolas, my inventory of tracking 5402 models over the years seems to suggest that...
....the switch from "AP at 6" to "AP at 12" occurred somewhere around serial C-1700. But then, as you know, many AP RO 5402 have over the years suffered from getting service dials with "AP at 12" and "Swiss Made" (instead of "Swiss") so there are of cours...
Wow! That's the first time I ever see all these together :)
amazing collection! Laurent

Wonderful collection. As you know, I really love your "Karl".
Well, with that kind of watches, you could be the king of an auction. But, I know that after a huge hunt like yours to find all these beauties, it is better to keep them all for you ;-) I am very impressed! Thank you for your post with all these pics and ...
Thanks Alkiro for your feed-back. I agree, "Karl" is a....
....stunner in my view. It's one of a kind (black), and I remember when I held it my hand the first time, I fell in love with the "rocked" condition of the watch. This was one of the toughest watches for me to get my hands on. It took nearly one year befo...
I think collecting is a form of addiction, no matter of what you collect!
I LOVE this kind of focused collections! If I could I would only go this way! BRAVO, my friend! Best Blomman
