3. Nuts like me, I wind 9 watches every night before going to sleep.



It drives me crazy to see all of them dead with different times. It's the only OCD thing I do. Well that and once a week I hack them to the second. Please don't judge me.

Long read, hope the below does not bore you too much. Guess i kinda sorta love mechanical timepieces. Imagine that!?! ;)

Kept B&R as she was on my wrist when racing for two seasons in Formula 2000 (won driver's championship second year).

5167 and (forget ref#) were matching mechanical timepieces for wife and I. Wife was too nervous to wear such a timepiece and just recently the 5167 moved on.

5110r and 3970r were swapped for... different investment.


Top right ref# ??? was nice, love the look and flip top cover yet she felt like a brick when wearing it. Wife wasn't too thrilled either. Very unbalanced on the wrist. One of those watches that seems great in pics and in person, yet not as much so in actual use. She moved on shortly after acquiring.

3820r is still here for when i need to wear the Monkey Suit (tux). Love the Breguet numbers and matching hands.

The Omega is a long story. Was mine, then older brother borrowed it many years ago and he loved it so much he claimed it got destroyed during a San Fran earthquake. Years later, on his deathbed, he admitted he loved it so much that he fibbed.... and then gave it back to me. Naturally that timepiece is never for sale.

Am moving to Rolex and so a new Sub no date is here for daily (ab)use and soon a 2016 Everose Daytona with white dial on black leather strap will be here for more formal-ish wear. Also have a Samsung Gear S2 4G watch, yet, well, does that even count as a watch, or a phone, or a wrist computer, or ???? :)

Date just ii. Planet ocean 45mm and the trusty old g shock for those rough days. Got a list of watches to get in the future. Pick away at it one watch at a time!

Great collection. I love that 3820r pure beauty and class. The perfect tux watch. When did you get it? Did you buy it new?

Also is it not a ladies watch? Looks alot like 7200r ladies caltrava.

Thanks for asking. The 3820 RG is a vintage men's manual wind timepiece and note the less accented Breguet indices. Had the limited edition Harrods version made around 1999 (very rare) and regretted letting her go as the silvered dial with less accented numbers was outstanding! The 3820 in RG here was obtained used and as you know has an extremely thin movement (modded Piaget movement as I recall versus the common 215 in the Harrods). Yes, it is the Monkey Suit timepiece of choice and a keeper. The lugs and movement are more special than the Harrods, of which only 35 were produced.
