Ken aka SteelerFan1965 is the biggest TEASE in TRF

Click on the poll if you agree that no one outshines Ken with all the beautiful vintage Rolexes he shares with us here in the Vintage forum.

So far two votes, me and you.

I voted for the top option so that means you voted for the "break in to Ken's house" option.

Keep an eye out for this one, Ken.

No question Ken's collection is magnificent, but I hate to break it to you guys unless you can break into a high security vault at the bank then you have no chance of seeing these gems.

His collection is like a "Rolex Greatest Hits" compilation!!!

But, as with all compilation albums, there's just one track that I can't get out of my head!

So very true!!

Thanks guys!! This should be about Mike Wood though- I am a small player who just loves vintage pieces- something about the old ones grab me!! I have been very fortunate to have gotten hold of some great pieces and for that am very thankful. May everyone have success and great fortune in their endeavors!!

Ken actually shows off his watches nicely in pictures whereas Mike Wood, big prick tease, hides 3/4 of them in the back row while only showing 10 in the front row in tiny detail

I'm just one of many that have benefited directly from his wis experiences & generosity of spirit. I'll always be reminded of him every-time I look at my 1680.

Thanks again Ken

It's turning into quite the lovefest, despite the jealousy of the OP.

I do like his style though ... the watches aren't so bad either.
