I wasn't a fan of anything but dive watches, even as a kid in the 70's when my pops had some Seiko 6309s, but as I get older and start to see some of these pieces in person, I've become a real fan of different types of higher end watches. The guy has a pretty well rounded collection, including some "lower end" ones like Tag and Longines :lol: I especially like that Vacheron Constantin Overseas!! :drool:

I admire Amine's will to spend so much. :clap:
I think most of us would be satisfied with just one of these. I really admire that guy to achieve that much in his 35 years of life Image

I agree with Joe when he says " I admire his will to spend so much" :think: ...It certainly is a superior watch collection, especially at the ultra high end....

Looking at that photo of the VC, ALS, and Patek w/the Audumars and Piguet Offshore in the background is like looking at the 85 Bears defense....

Amine continues to blow my mind. That's some serious investment pieces there, all kidding aside. I'd love to come back here one day and tell you guys that I have been waiting for my LE VC to arrive and got tired of waiting so I went to the AD and came back with a Patek the AD just got in. That's just so freakin cool. Whatever he does for a living, I'm in the wrong line of work! :lol:

Coool watches! That Patek is probably my favorite! One thing I have never understand is white gold and using it on watch cases. It looks almost like steel, but as I understand, it scratches much easier and of course is much pricier. :scratch:

I thought that happened. He came over near the end, didn't he? If somebody here knows him, drop him a line and let em know we're still here, just under different management. I know there have got to be some other stragglers out there, so any of you that know of em and know them, send em an invite. :thumbsup:

Doesn't have the anti-magnetic properties of steel either. :shrug:

I guess it might be desirable if you have other white gold jewelry, rings etc.
