Arnold's Watch Drawer
I always thought that pic of Arnold's watch drawer wasn't his, but this interview confirms it:

His comments on watch winders surprised me.

70 watches...say an average £500 service cost every 5 years...

£7000 a year. Guess you have to pay to play!

I bet he never bothers with servicing if he just chucks his watches in a drawer. I'm surprised at his attitude. I would have thought he would have appreciated expensive watches more.

You know you have money when you treat a $30000 watch like a sock
