watch addiction to another level

[Sammk]

I beleive most people here who own a high end watch could afford one easily or if not easily maybe after a few months of savings. But some on the other hand have to go a long way to get their timepiece or to fulfill there watch addiction. I just met a guy today, crazy about watches, who just sold his car to buy vintage Daytona.he doesn't have a car anymore since a couple of months and travels by public transport. His watch collection is probably worth more than he will ever save in his entire lifetime. I just can't get over it, what a guy and what a collection. Any such stories here? Or has anyone else come across such a person?
