PS. Best place to look at a large collection of Pateks is actually on St Thomas in the Virgin islands. at a place called Jewels, was down there a few months ago and the manager said they are the largest volume store outside of Geneva. Most stores that carry Pateks have at most 5-6 in stock he said, they had around 40. Tried on several of the Grand Complications, Loved the 5140s, the platinum with the blue background is just to die for. But my all time fave is the 5002 in plat, stunning.

I have a friend who collects PP (he has over 20) and I know the value of his collection but when I look at them I am under impressed. Do not get me wrong the workmanship is unsurpassed but I am a steel and toughness sort of guy, Gold and delicate don't work for me (even the Nautlius is delicate to me). Give me a sport model from IWC, Blancpain, GO or Rolex any day of the week.
My dream watch.

I almost bought a Submariner Date yesterday, but decided to walk away. I am currently looking at the Omega Seamaster 300 M GMT and the Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5. I like both of them, and at the current price of the Rolex, I can buy both, and still have money leftover to put gas in the tank of my car. LOL!
BTW, I am been told that Rolex is rasing its prices once again, second time this year.

Why not consider a Panerai? LOVE Pams!

I have an older Tag Heuer Link series automatic. What I wear most of the time is my Bell & Ross BR03-92 Limited Edition (gray on black). The coolest watch I have would be my LunaTik iPod nano watch:
I get compliments and looks all the time.
I love the look of Panerai, but they are huge and I have small wrists.

I gave up my carry permit 22 years ago when I sold off all my firearms except the SPAS 12 hidden in the closet. My Wife is antigun and wouldn't marry me if I kept them (she DOES NOT know about the SPAS). Had a bog standard Colt 1911 as my daily carry but for extreme fun I had an 8" barrell .44 Automag actually sold that for much more than I paid.

As far as I know the SPAS is still OK to own I have not had it out of the house in years. Clean and oil about once a 1/4. I bought a dash clip and mounted it above the closet door in our bedroom. My wife would never even imagine to look up there. As for the Automag never had to hide that it was in my Fathers gun cabinet.
Now for a bit of a story. Whe I was a young lad I would spend the summers at my Great Aunts in the country. Times were different then and she thought nothing of leaving me (10) and my brother (7) alone for an hour or so while she went for groceries. Her husband we were told had died of bee stings in the late 20's. He raised show poodles during the depresion and had both an apartment in NYC and a house upstate. Right raising show poodles. When my Aunt passed away during the wake they had old photos on display and there is my Uncle without a jacket on and his arms crossed, what is he wearing? A shoulder holster, I point this out to my Mother and her reply is No those are suspenders, Right I know how the strapping on a shoulder holster looks. That got me thinking to my youth and being left alone. My Aunt had this ancient sofa in her living room that had fake drawers on the front, of copurse a 10 year old is going to try and open a drawer. While horsing around with my brother one of our hands slides behind the seat of the couch and there is a lever. Pulling on said lever causes one of the drawers to open (did not find a lever for the second one. Inside was a Colt 1911 and three mags. My Dad had one and had taught us how to handle one safely. Being boys we checked it out, no clip was in it and put it back where it was. Now on a later shopping trip my brother and I decided to explore the attic the place where we were told my Uncle encountered the deadly bees. Basic attic one big storage room then we found the door in a closet that led to a crawl space. It had a narrow plank to crawl on and went into darkness. Figuring something cool had to be in there we went on our boyscout flashlights leading the way. We encountered a loose board and slid it aside underneath was a very heavy package wrapped in cloth. A Thompson SMG with a drum clip. Yes I bet my Uncle raised poddles during the roaring 20's and I think those bees were .45. I wonder if the new owners ever found the weapons?
