Steve52 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Just received my new Ebel BTR last week and I'm in love! Should post pictures tomorrow. I'm thinking about ordering the 1911 Discovery now (don't tell my wife!). Does it make sense to have two Ebels when there are so many watches out there (and so little time!)? I've read a few reviews that state the Discovery is smaller than the BTR. Anyone have both and know if that's true? I like the size of the BTR so if the Discovery is smaller I'll keep looking for another. Toad and others have given me some ideas, and I'm grateful for their pictures and time. I just love that Discovery! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Absolutely not. When watch collecting...owning more than one of a single brand is absolutely unheard of. In the horological world, diversity is the ultimate goal for EVERYONE: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the horological world, diversity is the ultimate goal for EVERYONE: Toad, are those all in your collection? I'm impressed! Why have so many of the same look and make? Just curious as I'm just getting started and only have one. Also, do you know if the sixe of the BTR and Discovery are the same or is the Discovery smaller? Thansk!

That's a gen Rolex Sub collection...worth probably more than most people's REALLY nice houses. With 60 watches worth AT LEAST $15,000 each...you're talking close to a million. Likely there are some in there worth $30-50K, and likely one or 2 approaching $100K on their own. I didn't take an overly close look...but that collection is worth A LOT!! It was from a post by Nanuq likely taken from TZ or one of the Rolex forums. It's a collecting thing...you either get it or you don't. The BTR is larger than the Discovery.
