My name is Mark and I am a collectaholic. The first step is admitting it to yourself!

Another nicely eclectic set of collections David. Foxes is a new one on me, but there are plenty of collectors of all aspects of breweriana - the metal cap on top of champagne corks (the "capsule") is probably the equivalent to your tequila tags. I just went the space-inefficient route of keeping the whole bottle! Some people steam the labels off and just collect those, but for me you miss out on a lot of detail that way - it would be a bit like collecting just dials, with no complete watches.

If I had to sum up my collecting themes, it would be "variety within similarity". It's what attracts me to the Carreras particularly; there is so much variety and yet relatively few discrete models - each execution is just different enough to make it collectable. Judging by the recently amended table, the same is true of Autavias, but most other Heuers don't have the same sort of depth. Except perhaps the divers.

I read a post over on the Vintage Rolex Forum that presented an example of a Sub (I think it was Subs from memory at least, can't really give chapter and verse on Rolex models) from each of the last 6 decades. That's the sort of thing that's very appealing to the collecting side of me - a strong design, unchanged in the fundamentals for over half a century, but with a myriad of detail differences. I would love for the Carrera to have had that same sort of continuity and longevity - imagine if something recognisably 2447 had been available for the past 47 years. As Stewart has given us some text speak, I think the only appropriate way for me to react to that thought is OMG! :DDD
