Very nice family you have there.
I do see a bit of segregation happening though or is that just grouping by age

Mike

what's the reasoning behind having 2 LV's is one of them different - they both seem to not have the braclet pin holes etc..

is one of them actually a 2003 (therefore a true 50th anniversary?)

The only difference is one's an F and one's a D. My AD called and offered a deal "I couldn't refuse". LOL

Mike why did you have to go and do a thing like that, just when you had the perfect pic of the Speedie, you had to include all those other irrelevant items.

I think they are just 'padding' so the rest of the photo doesn't appear as emtpy. Oh well, guess you gotta fill emtpy space up with something!

LOL! I don't have an answer to that.

WOW Mike
And each one has an amazing story.
Here's a question from a beginner to an expert
I like traditional
just a watch
leather strap
no date.

What would you suggest

PS I have a new Explorer

Omega Railmaster? Panny? What are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance
Miner

Hey Miner,
Everybody is a bit different, but if I were to pick a watch that has a great history and I wanted to go with a strap, I'd go Panerai and not look back.
The options are just endless.
