iceberg1459 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 you dont need to doctor to see that is sickness. And i wonder how a moronic noob like him able to afford around 300-400k worth of watches...man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 There are always people who go to the extremes, beyond all borders of sanity. I once saw a collection of someone owning all possible Atari video game merchandise in the world. It was three rooms full of stuff. Sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadweller4000 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hahahahaha always thought I had a problem. But I'm fine! This guy has a problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 A great number of those watches are fairly cheap, non-Swiss models... I was much more impressed by the guy who posted his collection of about 12 pieces but all grand complications from Patek, VC, RD, AL&S, etc... The quantity may be high but the quality is not worthy of accolade in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I dodn't realise there were that many Seiko's! That is beyond impressive, and near to the slightly strange haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanf Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 What gets me about that post is that virtually every message there was congratulating him on such a magnificant accomplishment. I'm sorry, but that dude shouldn't have been congratulated-- someone should have asked if he's OK and if he's seeing anyone professionally. There is nothing -- NOTHING -- that is healthy about this guy. I'm not joking. It's one thing to be a collector. A collector finds an area of interest and focuses on objects that are meaningful to him or her. Possibly as an investment, and possibly for more esotaric or personal reasons. By contrast, this moron is totally indiscriminate. His collection has no rhyme or reason. It's just a [censored]load of watches. And it probably cost more than $300,000. And if you're spending that much on that much random crap, you've got a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 @seanf, couldn't agree more -- the way he described the experience in his post (especially the part re: changing all of the watch straps) left no doubt in my mind that this guy has more than a couple screws loose deltatahoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanf Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 iceberg-- I know what you mean about stealing his collection. Methinks that this is the type of guy who wouldn't notice if you replaced his PAM 111 with the cheapest $20 Canal Street garbage. Of course, I would be worried that if he did find out, he'd start screaming uncontrollably for 20 hours straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodwc Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Definately a few clowns short of a circus. This guy isn`t sick............... just as nutty as a fruit cake, and certainly not the brightest crayon in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
