WTF Was I Thinking?


cc

Recommended Posts

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 :)

Hey, I got exact same feeling when I was browsing my old photobucket. Found a few pictures of reps that I had already forgotten. :D

wow -- all fantastic pieces in there cc (and as you said, pretty much all highly modded).

so just to be clear, none of these (except the gen pam 24g) remain in your collection? how about a post with what remains?! :clapping:

deltatahoe

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.

sad that the 082 isn't with ya...'cause otherwise, i'd be begging for it...

Without a doubt...one of the finest photo posts EVER.

What a beautiful testimony to fine wristwatches...and fine photos of them.

REALLY!!!!

Beautiful.

Thanks Jeffg. I just point and shoot. Still have a long ways to go :)

Pretty funny cc. I suspect your 15K number is on the low side whistling.gif

You've built some amazing pieces - it's the fun of the hobby for me.

Keeping them is always optional drinks.gif

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 ;)

Thanks for sharing the beautiful timepieces that you have had over the years. :thumbs: I would agree that $15.000 Is on the low down. I love the Pam 063, always have. when and If I do a franken project I would hope 063 will be the recipient, thanks again :) Mike

Wow...what a collection and a treat to see all those great pieces in your hand. Beautiful pics too.

What was your impresion of the VDB piece? It's a beauty.

I REALLY liked it but unfortunately anything over 45mm is too big on my wrist. So it went of to another member to enjoy :)
