See post/pic above.

I means eriously, my list isn't even the most impressive here, Memphis' has a better collection. A Lange1 alone is $25k-$30k easy.

Nah.... that "collection" needs some cleaning, updating, batteries, etc...... Looks like most of it was bought at some bargin basement pawn shop.

If your intent was to impress me, it failed. LOL...

Ha, i'm not here to impress you but to prove you that I own the watches. All of those outside of the Omega are no more than 3 years old. I really have no problem if you believe it or not but the fact of the matter is I own the watches and proved I was not lying.

So what's your point? Collectively, my watches would buy a house, but I already have a house.

My point was, and is, the BS meter is pegging out. As another poster mentioned earlier, a few posts do lean towards the dream rather than the actual.

Not sure what kinda house your watches would buy???? No back up photo?

Never said you were lying, said I doubted you had such a collection. I've met few people who can actually afford to collect multiple watches with price tags over $10K.

Hope you've got a good safe, insurance to cover replacement must cost a ton....

What do you want me to post? To the extent that the internet is relatively anonymous, I could post a watch or two. However, if I post too many of them, I am sure I will be recognized, especially for those guys who may frequent Timezone, PuristsPro, and some of the other watch places on the internet. The high end watch community is actually rather small...

This one watch would buy two Z4s...

Huh? You call my post out as BS and then I proved that I actually have/own the watches and you still mad? Chill bro, it's not that serious.

I'd understand your position if I simply ignored and dodged your comment because I were actually BSing but I backed my statement up and it's really as simple as that.

So do you have a Big Bang? How do you like it? I know the CEO of Hublot, Jean Claude-Biver. Ever met him? Great guy...

Very nice Rolex. I used to frequent Timezone and WUS but I haven't been there in a year. If you do frequent there though, that watch alone would likely get you identified because there aren't many WISers who will own one of those.

Well then, I am sure we have either met or at least spoken on the internet...

I never met him but I have communicated with him through e-mails personally, I had some pics of Wade wearing Hublot before he became their spokesperson and he was asking for some info regarding it. He also gave me a personalized extended warranty for my Big Bang Classic Fusion, he does it for everyone who asks but it's still great to communicate with him and actually have him respond. Also corresponded with Mike Margolis, Hublot definitely has the best customer service bar none.

My Big Bang is actually the Classic Fusion, my wrist isn't the biggest so I can't wear the Big Bang and god knows I would love to own a King Power but it just isn't going to work for me. I really like the new Extra-Thin Skeleton BB Fusion though, can't wait to try that on when I get the chance.

You own any Hublot yourself?

I don't own any Hublot myself, but I do have hanging in my office a hand drawn design of one of his Big Bang series of watches that Jean Claude-Biver drew for me as we discussed his project over dinner one night. I always meant to get one, but the timing was never right. I do know Mike Margolis very well, and he knows me. I have met him many times.

And you were right, that Rolex might be a bit too recognizable, so I had to take the image down. I enjoy being anonymous here.

Here is the drawing that I was talking about by Jean Claude-Biver.

That is awesome.

And as a common courtesy, I took the pic down from the post I quoted since it was showing the pic too.
