Rolex watches and what else?
Hi guys! I am an addict and admit it. I have 5 watches i rotate, 2 DJ's, a submariner, a Lacroix and a Tag. I am now on the hunt for my first Panerai.
In addition to my watch fetish, i also love sunglasses, mens belts and designer shoes. I would like to know what "excesses" you guys might have. I have about 12 pairs of sunglasses, all ray bans or oakleys. I have a nice 10 belt collection of vuittons, dolces and cartier. Anybody else want to share? I would be interested, thanks.

For me it's shoes, at one time I was having my house packed for a move in 2009 and the packers and I counted 58 pairs. I gave a lot of them away only to end up ordering some more. Also have a couple hundred LS and SS button down shirts. Used to be into cars, g*ns, and gold rings I've bought wherever I traveled to. Stopped buying rings, cars, and g*ns. But this watch addiction is insane, imo. Just saying....

guitars and associated equipment military radios neon advertising clocks flashlights military binoculars vintage fishing lures bicycles (up to four now; does this count as a collection?) railroad items vintage soldering irons US-made tools There are probably other things... but these are the ones I know about!

Books. I have thousands of books. Some very, very old. There are certain books I have 10 different translations/editions for.
My favorite in my collection are my Dickens novels, complete works, in red leather, published in 1866. Passed down to me starting with my great-great grandfather. Speaking of which, the other prize in my collection is my great grandfathers war journal from WW1. He was apart of an elite Canadian army corps that fought at Vimy Ridge, a great source of pride for our military history. It contains astonishingly detailed depictions of daily life and battles, including losing some of his closest friends. |

Yeah, I forgot to list the "Big Polo" Ralph Lauren polo shirts, the DeWalt tool fetish and my favorite of all time, LGB German made Trains. I've got my eye on starting a little pen collection but dont know where to start with that. Been thru the Glock phase, Corvette phase and BMW phase...A Carrera S convertible would be fun...
