3. I enjoyed reading about your collection.

I don’t collect, but worked in a high end jewelry store for a period, and appreciate watches. I enjoy my Rolex Explorer II reference 1655. I’ve worn it almost daily for 45 years.

4. The watch collecting bug never bit me, but I have about five or six of them.

None of them are really valuable, probably none worth over $200, but what they have in common is they were all gifts. I have a few family members who are quite wealthy and have some really expensive watches.

One of them is my son-in-law, who is a car salesman (retired now). I don't know why, but it is really common for car salesmen to have a lot of really nice watches. So sometimes, he gives me a watch as a gift. Like I said, nothing real expensive, but I like them and it is kind of fun to have different watches for different occasions.

5. Nice collection. I bargained in the antiques world.

Found that the underground watch world was intriguing.
Some treasures floated around markets by the pickers looking to trade up.
Don't know if it is still active, but the players have to have a place to sell.
