Here's a question from a beginner to an expert
I like traditional
just a watch
leather strap
no date.

What would you suggest

PS I have a new Explorer

Omega Railmaster? Panny? What are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance
Miner
Hey Miner,
Everybody is a bit different, but if I were to pick a watch that has a great history and I wanted to go with a strap, I'd go Panerai and not look back.
The options are just endless.

Hi Miner,

Your collection is just stunning! With all this collection, one would usually assume you started years ago. How long did it take you to amass such a collection?

Thanks,

Vernon

Hi Vernon,
Do you mean me? The 1675 was the first, I bought it brand new in 1968.
It's the sentamental favorite. I've always been amazed how a watch over the years becomes a fine vintage piece while the owner just becomes old. LOL!

Sorry Mike! Got confused... yup, question was directed towards you!

Once again, I haven't been able to lift up my jaw after dropping it to the floor this morning.

Mike, you wouldn't be interested in parting with one of those LV's in the spring, would you?
