built over 45 years! I hope the older ones give you as much joy as the newer ones, the ultimate pursuit of the Purists!
What is the art deco tank watch in the middle of the top row? I have seen one somewhere before, maybe on the forum but can't remember what it is.
Look at that Zenith with the Art Deco numerals! Tres chic! And the Art Deco cased Patek Philippe 5124G is very cool as well! Seems like we both have a thing for Art Deco style!
That's already a HUGE collection!
definitely something you don't see every day, unlike some of the others.
There was a fourth - a Rolex GMT-Master II - sold last year. A GP may follow some time soon, but no hurry there. The only qualm I have is the profusion of hides on show in the photo above. It's a guilty pleasure and I ought to try harder to switch to non-animal alternatives.
