cc Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 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 Skyland - Avitt Modded 3719 The Zigmeister Modded Slevin Gen Pam 000 & 112 The Zigmeister Avitt Modded 004B (built 3 of these) The Zigmeister Modded Pam 002B The Zigmeister Modded 002a The Zigmeister Modded 010d The Zigmeister Modded 024a and Gen 025 Gen Pam 24G (still with me) Wife's The Zigmeister Modded 048 2 Modded EL 183g's (one Franken) Pam 212 Ultimate Pam 210 VDB Modded Pam 2533 Milgauss Utimate Yobo Seiko Monster Steinhart Limited Nav-B The Zigmeister Avitt Modded Pam 004B Pam 112 DSN 176 DSN 202a and Wife's Old School Pam 049 MBW Black Themes Beater Casio and Wife's LV Tambour Chrono Franken 063 Modded Lello BCE Pam 082 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hey, I got exact same feeling when I was browsing my old photobucket. Found a few pictures of reps that I had already forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

maxman Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Thanks for sharing the beautiful timepieces that you have had over the years. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
