Noel Fleischer Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 wow- offshore probably wins. tanfo probably has the most valuable collection. lani most have at least 100 i guess. so i'm not that crazy.
spooky driver Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 I tried to explain that low end reps are not really part of the collection
coolfire Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 wow- offshore probably wins. tanfo probably has the most valuable collection. lani most have at least 100 i guess. so i'm not that crazy. You're correct on both offshore & Tanfo (that guy has been the one with most watches for a long time! ) But as for our honourable lanikai, he once mentioned (a couple of months back) that he has enough watches to wear daily for at least 6 months, without repetition... By now, I believe that statistic is inching towards a year, perhaps? Me? I believe it like 17 reps & a single gen.
dadog13 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Just to add to Andys remark also do a search for Tanfo's Panerai collection and then his Breitling collection, IWC.......... GAME OVER! Ken Tanfo is insane. The craziest of all of us by far. He's got more watches that he's never worn than most of us could ever hope to own. Insane to the max. I am almost 100% sure that not all the watches posted by Tanfo are his own! but there are a lot of members who don't post a lot who have big collections...I personally know a member with 0 posts who has around 100 pieces
ubiquitous Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 I think Lani has one of the most focused and 'built' collections- Seems that all of his watches endure a lengthy list of mods with lots of attention to detail. Tanfo has a lot of quantity, but he doesn't care about modding, or perfecting. I know there are a few others on the forum, who keep a lower profile that also have large, modded collections...
Noel Fleischer Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 oh- i thought everything was real. still alot of watches!
fotoman Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 there are a few members that have collections in the 100's
southcoast68 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 I have about 45 watches (rough count), 11 of those are gens (various makes) and that includes the cornerstone of the collection pictured in my signature. As others have said, Tanfo's collection is the last word, and I beleive there is a good percentage of his collection that is gen. I remember seeing pictures on TZ of a members Seiko collection, which I beleive was something in the order of 1,500 watches. So, if your wife thinks you have an illness for watches, agree with her and show her some of the collections here, that will proove you are not that far gone......yet...... Cheers
Shundi Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Im still facinating with your animated gif.....its stronger than me.....ohhhhh ...right..watches.....gens... sounds good... any favourite ones you can share? Cheers mate, A. I will follow that policy.. Favorites...hmm...these are just a few...
AllergyDoc Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Tanfo borrowed many of the watches he's photographed.
Nanuq Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 I may well qualify as the most insane, but I've only got 11 and 2/3 watches.
KB Posted May 16, 2009 Report Posted May 16, 2009 Tanfo borrowed many of the watches he's photographed. Actually no, we had a mod who was/is a personal friend of Tanfo's, they were his watches but the collection might not be the same today as when they were posted. Ken
TANFOGLIO Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 I find it appalling that so many invent!
Pre V Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Does it really matter? Numbers fluctuate accordingly to our hearts and actions. Insanity is far-fetched. I can go crazy in 2 minutes and revert back to normal in a span of seconds - that's the law of human nature, we all change so quickly beyond imagination. Saying that...I have lost count... Now, where's my Number Pills? I need a Recount, right about now. All these Steel and Tick-Tocks are driving me Insane!
P4GTR Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 I find it appalling that you stay shrouded in secrecy Tanfo! I've got 7 watches up and running in rotation. 6 reps, one gen. Plus a vintage seamaster that I wont wear until serviced, and a quartz tag rep I don't wear. I must be bleeding watches somewhere, I could've swore I had 10 or 11, but just last night I got curious and counted. 7. Hmm....
TANFOGLIO Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 I find it appalling that you stay shrouded in secrecy Tanfo! lol
redwatch Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Good god! That's an impressive collection! It's amazing to see it all at once!
upland Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 + about 15 in boxes + 2 in transit. Agreement with wife- limit 40
StormTooper4 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 Good grief Tanfo that's awesome, I'm both gob smacked and inspired. Keep up the good worK there ST4
cdk847 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 Tanfo, I am speechless. There are just no words...
frankt Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 Here's @ 1/2....The rest are mostly gen vintage pieces...
