Great collection and there is many on forum worry about has my Rolex got 904L or 316L S.steel.With so many great old timers there I rest my case whats its made from does not really matter. As all Rolex or Tudor will last a life time and beyond love the Tudor Monte Carlo.

Yeah that stuff looks pretty old and useless. I have a large trash compactor- send it to me and I will dispose of it---all of it.

Not a bad collection of junk, but at least send them into your local RSC to get a good polish and smarten them up with new dial and hands

I'm glad you guys enjoy the pics. These were taken in a rush as I was caught between these and a date with a hot girl...... I had 15mins to take the pics and rush off to meet her.

There are a lot more from where these comes from. Many solid gold pieces, I will try to take more pics in the near future and share them here. =)

I own none of these pieces, so please don't stalk me!!! LOL!
