Cleaning day...out from the safe.

Hi all,
Just wanted to share my happiness. Some people know I live quite far away from my collection due to security reasons. Well! Today I took few hours for me and decided to go to the safe and clean the Rolex collection. I have more than 50 watches and different brands so I just took these ones today. In the past I tried to clean all in one trip but finally I always wanted to finish and did not enjoyed. I must confess all of them are extremely clean but is my joy to review them sometimes! Makes me happy!
My 5513 and 116200 are on my work bench waiting for a new crystal one and a full modding project the other one.
So here they are! Sorry but the room where's the safe is not very well illuminated!
Have all a nice day!!

Beautiful Watches! Bummer you have to be so far away from them. Enjoy the new rotation!

Carlos, I thought you had a butler who did this for you.

Great collection my friend.

Thank you! I have only three mechanical chronos: Tag Heuer Carrera, RW Parsifal Carbon dial and Omega Speedmaster reduced. I never use them so that's why I stopped buying chronos! But thanks for your suggestion. BTW the only chrono would buy would be a Tudor Monte Carlo 7032.

Thanks! At home only one! Always on my wrist except when sleeping.
At my office, depending on the different projects but normally two or three.
In the safe, the whole collection.
