    When i started reading this thread, i thought "nice collection" (when i saw the Omega's and 16610/16710. But then my jaw dropped. Holy sh***BEEEP
    Respect OP, that is a stunning collection. If i had to pick one, it would be Great White...oh hell, and Nautilus

    Absolutely stunning collection, thanks for sharing.

    Love the PP Nautilus in particular, an ultimate grail watch for me, if ever my lottery numbers come in!

    Lovely collection, with a great write up. Some stunners in there and whilst obviously Rolex heavy some great variation. Thanks for sharing.

    Wowsers that is a nice collection!
    Definite standout is that maxi seadweller, which is truly beautiful

    What a fabulous, and varied collection - thanks for sharing!

    John, I knew that you had some stunning watches. But your vintage collection is just so mouth watering, and got better as I scrolled down :)

    My favourite, though slightly misty eyed, is your Rolex from 1958 with the Explorer dial, which is my birth year.

    Congratulations to owning many classic pieces.

    Your SOTCs are my favourite collection on TZ, so always a pleasure to see. And I have started getting more and more interested in vintage Dates and Datejusts after my recent acquisition from you. I think the linen, grey and blue dialled Datejusts are fantastic. Get well soon.

    Great to see your whole collection in one post John. Really not sure how you manage to give them all the wrist time they deserve!

    I'd have sacrificed some of the others to keep the Big Red 6263s (but you already know that...!)

    We'll have to organise that coffee when you're feeling better - I'll be looking forward to seeing the next Patek in the collection then too!

    All the best,

    Paul

    Thanks Craig, I must be mad to have thoughts about selling the 1665. Bloody watches!

    Thank you Tony. The 6480 is a beauty.

    Thanks for the kind words Ed. Hope you are enjoying wearing the 1007.

    Cheers Paul. The next PP could have at least a couple of digits in common with your lovely 3712.

    Hope to see you soon.

    Absolutely stunning collection! Would say I have a favourite but in all honesty I would happily wear any of those watches. Gives me inspiration to keep working on my collection!

    Next, a 1930’s/40’s Heuer two register chronograph with lovely brown tropical dial. Likely worn in the WW2 years…

    Simply wonderful collection.. My blue datejust is a keeper for now but I'll give you first dibs if I want to sell her. I think it maybe some time though.... Best, James.

    FFS, I'm at work you know and you bombard my laptop with your astonishing collection of 'tat'. My collection (which currently numbers, 1) would be augmented supremely with your maxi 5513, 6238 and 369 Explorer. That'd be me done, end of. I will PM you my address. Thanks John and GWS.

    Sorry to "bump" a relatively old post, but as much as I enjoy a ceramic Daytona and omega snoopy thread, I need to remember what the forum and this hobby is all about...
    If you've missed it, you are in for a treat :-)

    Thank you D'81! Alas, I am number four on the list for a 'ceramic' Daytona at the local...my profile has been submitted to Rolex, evidently. I'm not precious about stickers, at all, content to wait the two and a half years that accompanies fourth place and looking forward to seeing the day...

    Now, there's a man, who knows, loves and cherishes a great vintage Rolex. Cheers Bob, hope all is well.

    Lasted longer than Kash! An itch scratched but it's gone to a good new owner now I believe, so all good. More delicate than I expected so a shame for it to not be worn.

    No, thank you. I'd enjoyed your post and Lewis' a lot. Great collections and great efforts.
    How's the recovery going BTW?
