In early 2000, I wore all Diesel. Then slowly integrated to mostly raw (Nudies, Japanese Denim etc). Now I wear cheaper denim (WESC, Levi, Hurley, All Saint) because cuts and styles change often, plus my wife is in the industry :)
Haven't been around much lately but wanted to share some pictures on a lazy friday afternoon.
Perfectly balanced 42mm brothers. One I wear for the office and one for everything else
42mm Omega Planet Ocean and IWC 3717 with IWC Calf Pilot Strap.
Enjoy!!
The Cali dial is a classic. Still last through the ages. Sad to see it go but that the hobby. I've changed my rule of collecting to avoid amassing to many watches.... One in one out rule
Hey Fellas,
Before this gets posted in the sales forum, I wanted to share my build with you so that the pictures taken wouldn't be wasted.
Acquired this in January and finished it in Feb of this year. Originally built it for my Hawaii trip, I have decided to build another with a different approach.
PVD Case Waterproofed
Vintage Superlumed Dial
Vintage Gold Superlumed Hands
Heritage Strap & Buckle 26x24 130x80
Dirk Strap 26x24 125x75
Pam Accordion Rubber 26x22 115x75
Enjoy!!
I regretted selling my Eddie Lee 3717 a couple years back so I decided to purchase another....
Just got this back from Vac. Sent this in late mid March for some modding and really didn't expect it back till late April. I mentioned that I was heading out of town soon and he express mailed this back to me. WOW..... There's some service right there....
Anyway here are some specs and pictures (please excuse the lint) -
Vac Lume
ETA DDW
Takashi Crystal
Genuine IWC 3789 Kevlar Strap
Thanks Jeffg. I just point and shoot. Still have a long ways to go
Ha!! 15k is probably on the low side. I didnt want to think about it anymore lol.
Talking about amazing pieces, I'd love to see your collection
Yup. None of the posted above are in my collection except the 24G (and another franken Pam 48 I re-built for the wife).
I'll take some pictures of what's left (reps), which isn't much. Just a few.
I was cleaning up my Photobucket and photos on my computer and it struck me..... HOLY SH*T!!?? I had purchased a mixture of over 50+ reps. Most of the watches I purchased were fully modded with top shelf/gen parts in one way or another. I started to tally the average amount spent overall and it came out to about 15K and that's not including what's in my current collection and gens!!!!! And please dont get me started on straps.........
Some are missed and some not so much. There are quite a few photos of watches on my computer that haven't been uploaded yet. Some that aren't uploaded - 9 watches from DSN, 3 ETA 2892/2893 Pams, 4 Franken Pams, 4-5 ETA/Valjoux movement swaps etc.
This is an expensive hobby......
Anyway.... Thought I'd share what I have in my photobucket
