Jetsons Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 totally agreed -- seeing your omega makes me kick myself for not buying the franken vintage 300 that sat on the trading board for weeks at a time several months ago... I know what you mean, DH. I tried to snag that beauty the second time it was offered. but was five minutes too late. Probably one of the most complete Frankensteins that I've seen up for grabs. The 100% factory gens continue to escalate in price like there is no tomorrow. Terrific collection, Ubi! The darn Daytonas are stating to grow on me no small thanks to you.

Watchmeister Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I have had the benefit of seeing a good chunk of that collection in the flesh and am hoping to see it again soon. Hey Ubi- Had to tell you naked chicks rock. I'm gone for the next 10 days or so. I know you will miss me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff g Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 If one were to have an affection for fine watches...then one would admire your collection. I definitely admire your collection. Wear them well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Thanks everyone for the very kind comments. I have been trying to diversify my collection a bit, though I'm finding that a good portion of it is still a little redundant. I do find my tastes and preferences becoming a bit eclectic and perhaps a little eccentric; these days I'm looking for watches that are metaphorically 'off the beaten path', so to speak. I'm hoping that we'll be seeing some interesting new high quality offerings on the market soon... Preferrably from some different brands that aren't getting due attention in the spotlight Anyhow... Thanks again! All the best... R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Fantastic collection I always imagined RO and Nautilus Jumbo's were smaller, thanks for the group shot as it helps to see their size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I always imagined RO and Nautilus Jumbo's were smaller, thanks for the group shot as it helps to see their size. B- The RO/Nautilus Jumbos wear very large- Especially the Royal Oak! It measures out at 38.7mm, yet feels like 41mm - 42mm on tthe wrist; the Nautilus wears about the same (and actually measures out at 42mm, though that's counting the hinges which actually blend in while on the wrist). Their large apperance and feel is due to a number of factors (in my opinion)- -The case length, lug to lug is very long due to the integrated lug design. -The bracelet width is very wide at the first link (26mm), also lending to a very wide feel. -The case height/profile is very thin, thus providing an interesting perception on the height to width ratio. Overall, the Jumbo wears larger than a Rolex, yet sits lower on the wrist, thus making it feel even wider. If you're in the market for a sporty watch that can be worn casually or formally, either are great watches; both are quite versatile...

ubiquitous Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 PS. I just realized that you can also do the Maradona double Daytona, too Yessir indeed... I'd sport both Daytonas quite frequently.... My co-workers all thought I was nuts, but now they're used to seeing me with a Cosmo on each wrist...
