Laid out the current collection tonight.
And apologies for the discrepancies in times (and dates). I absolutely appreciate how on this forum (especially!) that could drive people crazy!

What a great collection of...wait for it...Iconic references. If you have not seen the iconic thread it is a good laugh.
Beautiful examples. You have all the classic sport watches covered. Congrats!

Thanks, man! The Sea Dweller still remains as one of the yet-to-be acquired pieces.

Thanks!
Good eyes. After searching forever I found a T38 a few weeks back.
Finally got into the city to have my watchsmith do the swap.

How long did it take to install? Was it something he could do while you waited? Curious because I may do the same with my 1680 soon!!

You got a genuine T38? Those things are pretty scarce and pricey!
Looks good
