When I look at my watches everything looks normal. I keep them in a safe and switch out watches twice a day. One for work or flying and one for wearing at home and sleep. Everything seemed quite normal until I started to store my boxes in the safe. From looking at the boxes it became clear that all was not normal and that I need professional help.

I took the below picture as reference to my problem.

f16570 · 2 June 2008, 05:11 AM

Yep, you got issues.
Send the boxes and all original content to me and problem solved.

eric23 · 2 June 2008, 05:12 AM

Wow a lot of boxes! Nice tank! (I use to have a saltwater tank a while ago).

The damn shipping costs well be worth more than the watches.

. I love the direct to the point answer "Yep, you got issues".

harvey · 2 June 2008, 05:22 AM

joe, all you need is a few more then you got yourself your very own AD!

badsmac · 2 June 2008, 05:34 AM

But when you just lay out the watches without the boxes it doesn't look so bad.
There....feel better?

Thank you Doctor.

I feel much better.

nhdblfan · 2 June 2008, 05:58 AM

You sound fine to me,you just need a bigger fish tank with more counter space so you can buy a few more

Hamilton Carvalho · 2 June 2008, 05:58 AM

Bubba I'm on your side, keep up the good work man!

Good catch. One on my wrist!

Letsgodiving · 2 June 2008, 07:29 AM

Very nice! Now if you were to strategically place them all in the fish tank that would be one sweet picture. Just a thought.

JimSnyder · 2 June 2008, 07:35 AM

13 is unlucky. You have to buy another or get rid of 1!

Oscar · 2 June 2008, 08:59 AM

Joe,

A great collection you have there.

How many hours do you have up? Are you current?

Never enough. Yes. CFI and teaching. If you fly on one of the majors you have a good chance to have one of my prior students. Took me a while to get used to speeds less than Mach one. But hey, flying is flying. And teaching young kids is a reward. A reward for me.

Nah...I was thinking he needed a few more to make a perfect pyramid.

Considering one is on his wrist...that means only 2 more! I'm thinking another Daytona and the new Deep Sea!

Great collection! I love that "root beer" GMT.

Last time I take one of your thoughts!

Man, what a pain trying to take pictures underwarer.

Talk about lighting problems.

. Was I supposed to be in the tank or outside?

.

Say what you will, but I tried.

dkpw · 2 June 2008, 09:19 AM

Bubba - you have a fantastic collection. Thank you ever so much for sharing those photographs. If you had to keep JUST ONE, which would it be?
