For those who collect Rolex, what else do you collect?

Collecting watches/Rolexes can be a bit of a obession (some would say obessive compulsive disorder...lol) with most of us. What else do you collect? Why?

My other illnesses:

Vintage Omega Constellation Pie Pan's
Civil War swords
Japanese Katana
WW2 armored fighting vehicles
Modern firearms
Older BMW's

I used to actively collect 'chess stamps' - postage stamps with chess imagery on them.

I needed to find a way to make stamp collecting a little more geeky.

Will you please show a pic of your collection? Please add a coin beside your collection to proof it's yours.

You really have taken geeky up a level. Where are the pix of the stamps?
