Dutchy Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 We've seen them, a couple members have every rep Submariner imaginable (and duplicates!)....but this guy...over at Timezone has really lost it!!! His comment to the picture: "Forgot to post the whole family except one 116520 white dial which my wife is wearing. " Now what job do I need to have that?

Stephane Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Imagine how many reps he could buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005SUBMARINER Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 AT LEAST over 100-200k in watches .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Imagine how many reps he could buy that would be a lot of brocken seconds at 6 daytona's, with that many he might get lucky and get one that works. But is it me or are most of them all the same model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is it me or are most of them all the same model? Yes, most are the same model. His signature is also "Daytona xxxx lover", dont remember which model number fits the x's. His name is Zane over at TZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geo1nah2a Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 He might be a pawn shop owner and there are a lot of desperate for cash 19year olds that are pawning their daytonas for 1000$. Or he might 'know' somebody who owns such a 'shop'. Or he owns a rolex dealership. Notice on the top row, to the right, there is one in plastic wrap. Now isn't that strange? BTW: The above are the most plausible options. He might be just a basket case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm 19, will be pawning my Daytona tomorrow I noticed the one in plastic too, but I reckon he just does that to protect it from scratches as its lying there, who knows.

b16a2 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Wow that is some collection. Must be some high flying director of a high flying company haha. Would love to be able to afford such a collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 No... Zane is a collector. He also has a very nice collection of Patek Nautilus' (among other Pateks) and Ferraris as well. More money than sense? Or more money than he knows what to do with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Where is the sense in buying lots of the same watch...... It is an obscene waste of money. I have very little time for somebody who could throw that sort of money around like small change.... Different world I suppose, but still....

jfreeman420 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Now what job do I need to have that?Maybe he's a professioal poker player............... Where is the sense in buying lots of the same watch...... Looks like they are not all the same watch. Different years all with minute changes that Rolex makes with each series.

Mickey Padge Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I imagine the sales staff in this guy's local AD can hardly contain their excitement when this guy walks in There is probably a picture of him in all the AD staff rooms, all over the area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 They're not the same watch. You can see SS and WG El Primeros, for instance. They look almost the same, but not quite. In fact, he has no modern Daytonas by the look of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Yes... Zane is a very nice fellow. And he has a passion for Daytonas... He has what might look like the same watches, but they are all, in fact quite different- Even the SS versions. As a collector, he likes dial and bezel variations; with the 16520, there are several to collect. He has quite a few of the early, rare variants, which are going up in value quickly. As a collector, I respect him, and can only say that if one has the money, they are free to spend it as they like. It might not make much sense to some people... But most times collectors aren't known for behavior that might make sense to the masses. However, to that particular individual, and to those who share the same views/perspectives on the item in question, it might make perfect sense. YMMV...

I have very little time for somebody who could throw that sort of money around like small change.... Different world I suppose, but still.... If that's what makes him happy... Then that's what he should spend his money on. Watches are a true luxury... We don't need them... We don't need multiple variants of the same watch... But, if that's what floats his boat, and he has the means to fulfill his desire, I don't see anything wrong with that. Is it obscene? I don't think so... I can think of worse things to be wasting one's money on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 I was checking the forum there again and when asked what people were driving, Zane answered: "I drive this one most weekend." I wonder which Ferrari he drives those "other" weekends!! Probably the same car with different rims considering his liking for the same model watches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasng Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I say to each man his own. If he likes Daytonas, and has the money, I say let him spend it on that. It's just like us, we choose to do whatever we like with our money. His Daytona collection is like an investment, I see some pretty damn rare pieces in that collection, and those are just going up in value. Personally, I've made quite a bit just flipping AP Offshores over the span of a year, the general market prices for genuine watches has risen quite a bit over the last year.

I have very little time for somebody who could throw that sort of money around like small change.... Different world I suppose, but still.... For the same reason a man I know collects the same edition of Model A truck? They're not cheap either. I don't think there is anything obscene in this, but to each his own opinion of course. He is obviously rich, and he's enjoying himself. As they say in the North, nowt wrong with that. Or to quote Zero Mostel in the original The Producers, "If you got it, flaunt it baby!!". (Now, if you tell me he's a gangster or something, then my outrage button might be pushed; but on paper, pff, I hope he gets more!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
