I am in the process of upgrading my collection to full sets B&P's as they become available.

I was torn between liquidating my "common" pieces and picking up some Grails but I am the kind of guy that likes variety and 3 or 4 watches just arent enough to satisfy my obsession.

Lets see those full sets!

1675 1.9 million

16520 Daytona

my newest 5513 5.0 million

Some very fine vintage you have there. Very nice.

nauticajoe · 15 April 2010, 09:16 PM

Very nice

Renoir · 15 April 2010, 10:35 PM

Excellent! These days, certainly rare to obtain complete sets for vintage.

How about some close up pics of the watches.

pz93c · 16 April 2010, 02:37 AM

No full set here.

Just a partial.

I've been collecting for 23 years and have made my shares of impulse buying. I've also seen the roller coasters rides of these "vintages", especially the full-set examples. Taking advantages of the recent low prices, for the past year I have been replacing my non-papered watches with full set ones. Congrats on your nice collection, your W Zenith Daytona (can't tell if it's a Patrizzi from the picture ) can be had for around $12.5 K -$13.5 K now as compared to 3 years ago ( $25K+) when the Patrizzi craving was at its peak- I wouldn't buy these unless they have original paper like yours stating it came with the black dial originally.
