OP, solid collection! I like your taste.

I would highly recommend some PM, even if you need to flip a piece or two to get one. I'm partial to YG.

Meh, I don't think that is fair.

He has a standard-issue Sub LN, smooth bezel DJ, a Tudor AND A CELLINI! That is more than half of his collections and none of them are hyped-up YouTube pieces. I can't recall ever seeing a YouTube video recommending to buy a Cellini.

Only the Pepspi and Daytona are "hyped" and the black dial Daytona much less so than the white dial.

Most people don't get into watches and start out buying 20 year old models. The Cellini alone should at least tell you that there is something more than hype about his taste.

I love this collection. The Cellini really completes it for me.

Obviously a next choice would be a solid gold on a bracelet!

Firstly, thank you all for your comments.

I wanted to reply to Woody's post but didn't want to ruffle any feathers; however, it has taken me a good 3-4 years to build my collection up to this point. I was offered either the white or black Daytona, but I choose black. I purchased all of it through AD except the Tudor blackbay 58, which I got from the dealer for $2500.

I'd say my favourite out of all is definitely the Cellini moon phase. The watch looks amazing in real life and not sure why it does get the same love as other Rolex timepieces.

I will definitely post more pics of the cellini and others over the weekend!

You are not going to ruffle any feathers with me so don't worry.....this is a Forum for exchanging views and opinions......we don't always have to agree. I hope you continue to enjoy your collection and look forward to hearing about future purchases. Thanks for sharing.

Omega Seamaster with white laser etched wave dial on a black rubber strap!
It will add little of something you don’t have, like a white dial, rubber strap, another great brand.

Great looking collection OP

I’ll say what I always say when I see a collection like this that’s Rolex heavy ... I’d consider another brand.
