Oh my this is what heaven must be like. WOW I have never seen so many priceless watches in one spot. The photos just kept getting better and better. When I though I had seen the best you would continue again and again with even better views. Thanks

I am afraid most of these watches I will never see in the flesh. Now I can't go to sleep.

I peed my pants!

That must be the GTG to end all GTGs!

2 Comex subs! A 16550 next to a Milgauss! A box of Pateks! And they just leave them lying around while they stuff their faces!

Thanks for sharing. That was just too much. Won't be sleeping for a while.

Even if I won the lottery, I doubt I'd be able to amass a collection to rival what was brought to that GTG. Just awe-inspiring to see what was there.....

That's what £1m + worth of Daytonas looks like.

Please tell me that they don't all belong to one person, otherwise my dream of getting just getting the one little 6265 is off the cards.

Man, I wish my Sub would turn these chocolate colors one day. I'm a sucker for brown dials. Hopefully my next Rolex will be brown. Take a guess!

It'll never happen now, Rolex makes there stuff to permanent.







Now these 3 6 9 subs! WOWZA. I never knew that these existed! I'm in
