Interesting story, I wonder which forum the guy is on?

Thoroughly interesting, thanks a lot for posting that!
A good read. Thank you.
300 Watches in his collection - let that be a warning to us all!
I've had to reign myself in at about 50 (still climbing).
It's all relative, 50 sounds unimaginable to me!
Excellent, thanks for sharing.
Brilliant :)...along with a bicycle and a sewing machine, a watch was one of the traditional “three things that go round” that Chinese brides-to-be expected their future husbands to provide
An excellent read - thanks!

What a great story. I've enjoyed quite a few Chinese mechanicals myself while I've had the opportunity and hung out on the forum on WUS and read many of his posts. Taobao is a goldmine for Chinese watches and knowledgable dealers.
Great story, thanks for sharing! The article is right about it being a shame not to caption the photos in the 'virtual museum', there are some really interesting things on there and it would be good to know more about them.
If this has been published on Saturday I would have assumed that 'Mr. Good the travelling harmonica player from Peace County' was an April fool's wind up (no pun intended).

A very good read. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for posting. Taking a look at Mr. Good's site, the watch pictures do seem to be captioned. Otherwise I'd never be able to tell the Hongqi 'Rocket Seconds' from the Meihaulu 'Spot Deer'.
