... dressed up for the group foto, there is a strong element of "showing off" but eh: that's part of the fun. I am glad there is a "panorama" function on the iPhone, this was the only way to capture them properly (3rd picture). They're all gone now, but I surely will see them individually again very soon.

If you are interested in the individual family members (3rd picture from left to right)

2915-1 // 2998-3 Lollipop // 2998-5 // 105.012-63 "A.C.P." // 105.012-65 "Meister" // 105.003-64 // 145.012-67 // 145.022-69 "Pulsations & Chocolate" // 145.022-69 "Straight Writing Apollo XI" // 145.022 "Hackett" // 145.022-69 "220 Bezel" // 145.022-69 "Straight Writing & Decimal" // 145.022-71 "No NASA" // 145.022 "DLC Racing Japan" // 345.0808 // 345.0818 "Italy Limited" // 145.0055 18k WG Moonphase" // Speedmaster '57

Cheers, HSTE

Simply fantastic,

Thank you for sharing this moment with us. I think everyone should have at least a speedie in their collection. I've had a few but haven't found "mine" yet. Congratulations on a wonderful collection. Best Christian
