These images were sent to me by someone who fears for the mental state of the owner. Who needs 4 Datographs? AND a Double-Split?

I can only shake my head in disbelief.

don´t likes the watches. Just my impression if I look at the "unambitious" pictures. At least I would expect some "more emotional" pictures if somebody spends that much money in one theme. oliver

That is hardly the case!

I know for a fact he loves the watches. Firstly, he took the photos at my request and because of my impatience he did not have the opportunity to get it professionally done. Secondly, taking decent photos is difficult, and I speak from experience. As an a... 

Don´t get me wrong. I really appreciate and love the idea of ...

the collection. Blaming or something like this was not my target. I just really would like to see some more "emotional" pictures of treasures like this. No matter if the photography skills are perfect or not. Does the owner just collect the watches we saw...

i have, however, just taken my meds for the night its a free society and he likes the Datograph. madness is subjective. to me he seems perfectly rational in his purchases, but to a non purist he would appear to be deranged. is he shy or wil he be joining ... 

Can't agree more with you, my unfortunate friend! LOL

So, how many Freaks will we order? LOLOLOL It's a secret, but I have in my crazy mind to double the UN Freak, with the Blue Phantom... Don't tell it to others...ssssh! LOLOL Best, Graham! Nicolas

As someone who once owned these, definitely he's fine :-)

One of each of the 1815 series (regular and up/down). It was a great collection, but then I realized that there was no way I could wear them all. Four datos on the other hand.......

This gentleman is trying to focus on a theme and it just happens that he is a great fan of Datograph. It is definitely not about boredom or too much money to burn. I have seen collectors collcting ton and ton of Rolex Daytonas....this guy just happen to p...
