Nice collection but not sure why you wear your watches on your fingers rather than your wrist?

True, especially the last point, memories.

Great collection, congratulations!!

Tiffany dials are dicey, but I’ve always loved them. It’s so hard to find one with Tiffany papers.

Daytona White Dial vs Black Dial: black dial for sure- I don’t get the hype of the white dial- just my .2 cents

Hulk vs Kermit?

Kermits get more wrist time- very modern vintage feel. The 41mm with the slimmer lugs is unbelievable.

Wow! Great choices.

Just one thing though. You should really wear them around your wrist instead of on your fingers.
