This is actually Costco's secret to success, Offer as few choices, if any, when buying goods. Example. You want ketchup, enjoy the twin pack of 44 ozers, period. Its a fact that too many choices makes it difficult to even choose one for fear of missing out on others.
BTW. congrads on silly collection
Yeah....who would ever want to make all those choices. Craziness at best but I would be willing to try.

I believe his collection is somewhere shy of about 2 million.
Does that sound about right, OP?

Impressive would be a MASSIVE understatemen! Unreal collection! That blacked out Deepsea is sweet, nice contrasting piece to a lot of the others.

I can tell you why I bought each watch, who was with me, what was going on in my life, but I honestly can't tell you precisely what I paid for each piece. The collection has a value for me beyond dollars and cents so appologies.

Ok. Sounds fair.

What was your first Rolex pick up?

What drew you to the 150k+ world time PP 5131? What's the story behind that?

Do you regularly wear your grand complications?

Do you think you will ever get a 6102?

Sorry - didn't meant to make it about dollars and cents - I've just never seen such an impressive personal collection like this, anywhere.

Simple starburst bezel
I travel and thought it stunning
All the time in rotation out of the safe deposit
No, the sky pattern doesn't align to my location

It's not bad taste or form. With the little I know about OP, he is the last person to get offended or sensitive about questions or comments, especially when no harm is intended.

Great pics - is that a Patek 5170 or 5070? Can’t see how wide the bezel is
