Hey David,

You seem like a "ROLEX ONLY" peson!!

JJ Irani · 6 January 2006, 04:41 AM

JJ,

I am a MOSTLY Rolex person. I also have four Omega Speedmasters (although one is currently listed on eBay), a WW-II era pink gold Chronographe Suisse 2 register chronograph, and my original Seiko Sports 100(I just found it again after many, many years). But I typically wear a Rolex. If not, it's a vintage Speedy.

I particularly like my '66 Speedy. After Buzz confirmed to me in May that he wore the same watch on Apollo that he wore on Gemini in 1966, I went out and got a '66 Speedy to add to my collection.

Here are a few more from the collection, starting with the rest of the Speedys:

Okay, as promised, CANADA won the World Junior Hockey tourney, so here is my watch family.
First - All Four

Nest, just the two Rollies

Now for two Subs ( one Mini 0ne reg)

Then I lose the " Cartier", doesn't get worn much any more.

I'll try for better single pics at a later date.

Subfiend · 6 January 2006, 01:34 PM

Sorry I could not get all my pictures to open. It must be their size.

Like I said, 2005 was a very good year for me.
