I thought I'd share my good fortune with you. Now some here have been lucky to find incredible mint vintage pieces with box and papers and others their holy grail with a great discount.

Fortune has come to me via a different route. A relative won a prize draw recently and gave the prize to my wife, who despite my protests has given it pride of place in my living room.

So here is a photo of my new acquisition, which stands 3 feet high and has a full set of integrated lights!

I'm sure you will agree it is a magnificent beast!

There are some great photographers on here, so let's see your photos of tacky Christmas decorations, the only stipulation is that there needs to be a Rolex in the photo!

Through a series of Costco related inactions, I am currently reindeer-less. I do, however, fully support this post.

Thank you

I'll get to work on it. Nice piccie to get us inspired, Steve!

Cool, that would do Rudolph proud!!!

On the flip side you can hang your green SubC on the tree and there you go, instant Christmas decorations

Cool reindeer!!

Great thread.

Nice photos!

CMT · 9 December 2013, 02:05 AM

Heh. Thanks SD, those were pretty easy to shoot on a fake tree with fake snow that doesn't budge when you drop a watch on it.

I'm jealous of stevedssd's reindeer - I'd love such a magnificent illuminated beast for my own home.

Thanks for all the supportive posts so far, Chris you have already beaten me with both taste and photographic ability.

Haha, I'd say we're right on par given the clear superiority of your awesome reindeer!

Is it too early for a "Happy Holidays"? If not, Happy Holidays all!

I think everyone does. The downtown store part was shot in Cleveland Ohio. When I was a kid we went downtown to see the stores and sights. Really took me back. We watch it every year.
We watch

Yes you are right about the very rare bit, not many of them about. As I type it's starring at me from the other side of the room, quite scary!

Great thread, just in time for hunting season...
