Goody gumdrops. In other news I just discovered perlon straps and they are a thing of beauty.

Not often that I get jelly of someone's entire collection because there's always a pickle in there. But man, I aspire to having a collection like this towards the end of my life span. Even the Panerai was fabulous.

The current panerai is a fake brand created by Richemont. There are much better places to put your money.

I crap my pants every time I see it in display because of the size of it. Longines has created a much better Panerai with the Majetek imho.

This is my tiny collection.

The Luminox caught my eye when I noticed they have the white face with green band and a blue face with a blue band. I thought it would look great with white face/blue band. I still haven't bought a blue band for it. I bought a bunch of extra straps for these 3 watches from amazon. I want to get the metal band for the Luminox, but that single watch with the metal band was the first "fancy" watch I ever bought, back in the 90s I think, and it plays hell with my arm hairs, so I've been afraid of any watches with metal bands ever since.

My beat up Fossil isn't going to turn the head of any watch snob, but I love it.

I'll be forever kicking myself for not getting a Seiko Ripley when I had the chance 10 odd years ago. That thing is going for 2 grand now which is very sad. That would have been my third movie watch in my collection.

Before I die, I want to own an OMEGA Seamaster. Moreso than the Speedmaster which is equally impressive. I don't know which color though. Maybe blue like the one Pierce Brosnan wore in Goldeneye. That one hits close to the nostalgia strings.

The old style blue seamaster like Brosnan wore (it was the quartz version in Goldeneye, but the mechanical for the rest of his run and the first Criag film) is the 2531.80. They can be had all day for ~$2K, maybe a bit more if its been recently serviced or in really good condition. VERY nice watch as it pre-dates the moder Omega era of fat cases. The current Seamaster 300m with the thicker waves and ceramic bezel is a MUCH better watch, scary accurate, but of course is much more expensive and feels more bulky on wrist.
