I don't...the key chain would be useful. I wouldn't collect it though I would use it.

Not at all. I actually make a point in life not to collect stuff. I do have some watch-related baseball hats (IWC, Blancpain etc) that I got from ADs, but those are things I use, not collect.

I can not wait until I get my Paperweight! That will be my one and only non-watch Rolex item.

Don't really collect this stuff. But I do happen to have these two letter openers and a post note holder.
I really like having them, don't know how common they are.

Just the magazines and sales catalogues - and I don't really collect them, but have just kept the ones I've received from ADs.

I wouldn't mind the odd useable item (say a keychain), but collecting a bunch of nick-nacks isn't for me.

There is nothing mild about that hoarding problem whatsoever -

That's a full blown one and it's given me envy issues.

I have a few things in my playroom.



Here I'm dressed up.



A snapshot from my bakery.



And a view from my cellar.

oh, i was given a small booklet by an AD a couple of months ago showcasing the latest collection. i love looking at those pics. perhaps i'll pick up a book or two in the future, to learn more about these amazing watches.

Leather bound note pad with Rolex logo paper, Rolex wave pen, Rolex scarf with movement design, Rolex passport holder, numerous Rolex pouches and Rolex polishing cloths; will post pix tonight.

Really love the Basel keychain almost as much as the Basel green paperweight.
