Beautiful. Just curious, how do you display all of your watches? Are they in one of those giant 32 watch cases or do you have something else going on?

Truth be told, of the nearly 70 autos that I own, most don't see a lot of wrist time, and in fact, are wound once or twice a month to keep the lubricant from becoming too viscous. I have a couple of winders that I'll rotate some of them through, but I've found that the more modern pieces (Breitling in particular) stand up well to the 5-7 year phase of the lubricants remaining viable. I have our friends in Wilton do a once over at the end of those phases, but the watchmaker that I have spoken to say that a wind every once in a while is more than sufficient in keeping the movements 'fresh' (his words, not mine).
Also, I do keep some of the more rare pieces in the safe (which is quite heavy and built into the floor in my sub basement, under a locked room), or, in the series of safe deposit boxes that I rent.
I am a bit paranoid, and so is my insurance agent. Hmmm. It seems as if I've painted a picture of an armed fortress. Well, it's not quite that, but I am armed! :wink:

This looks killer, I love this combination! I can think of a few more blue dial and strap combinations that I would like to see on some other Breitlings as well. Thanks for the picture.

Wow! :shock: You should do a little you tube video of the madness... or post a whole lot of pictures... or better yet build a website for the watch porn you have under lock and key :P

OK, I'm not really joking.

OK...This is the second time today I have checked out the stunning combo posted by JohnnyBoomBoom! I am starting to have this funny feeling about this watch...could it be jealousy? This watch has got me thinking about changing my mind on the new SA I have on order. Wow, this Chronomatic is giving me buyer’s remorse. Way to go JohnnyBoomBoom!!!
