Polish your glasses Grashopper and the noise is history.

Yes it's a old one, I'm getting lazy and my YM is at the bank safe at the moment.

Even so, Jocke, the fact that you've actually got a piece of Rolex carpet is just, well, incredible!!

Jocke:

My observation:

1. You are not married. Good for you, you have the house all for Rolex items.

2. You have a Rolex habit that may have crossed the line to being a little crazy. Also good for you, I do not feel alone in my Rolex collection (even if my wife thinks I am Rolex nuts) however mine is a small collection.

3. I really like your work area for Rolex repairs. It looks great for a work shop.

4. Are you sure your are not a Rolex AD under cover?

Great photos, it is nice to see a really detailed Rolex collection in order.

[QUOTE=Jocke;1777739]So you haven't seen my playroom?

You are an awesome collector. There was an AD that went out of business and I tried to get some of his Rolex things. He wouldn't sell it. He said the receiver was going to reopen the store as an AD again. Excuse the pun but I am green with envy.

Jocke,

I am stunned.

I thought I was interested in Rolex. Now I realise what interest is.

I'm glad that you find such satisfaction in collecting all things Rolex. Good on you mate and thanks for all of your posts.

You should charge addmission to get in. I think you should raffle off some of those displays stacked there. That could be another giveaway.
