I think I'd just buy more...

In Response To: If you were REALLY rich, what would you buy? ()

That's a good question Sam.

I'd like to think that my tastes wouldn't change. So, for me, no gold, no diamonds, no chimes, no moonphases, no leather straps !

I think I'd just buy MORE watches. But not MORE EXPENSIVE watches.

I'd like to get even more vintage Speedmasters & more vintage dive Seamasters.

I'd also improve the quality of the watches I have. Send most of them ( Aw heck, I'm richer than Bill Gates... ALL of them ! ) to Omega in Switzerland to get them completely overhauled & restored.

I thought my wish list was reasonabley small, but, when Sam finally pays me the Nigerian Lottery money, I'm sure my wish list will instantly grow ( there's a whole bunch of cool Heuers, Seikos, Tutimas & Fortis watches out there.... )

Then I'd get, seriously, into finding the original boxes, papers etc etc.

Then.... I'd need some period displays for the watches.....

Then.... I'd need to extend the house to fit them all in....

Then...... enough...
