Exclamation some new guys.... :-D

Well i got the GMT2 on friday, and also bought the Milgauss on friday, but it just got delivered to me about an hour ago..(had a friend pick it up for me since i was 2 hours out from the AD and they dont ship)

as you can see, it was right out of the box to take some pics.. so i apologize for the stickers on the milgauss.. but wanted to give some comparison pics after the one fellow had made a thread asking...

me personally between the two, i find the GMT a better suit because its more complicated but the milgauss is very nice as well.. i just wish the milgauss came with a jubilee option.

the pics:








i also got a new breitling on friday (Steelfish) its a gift for a friend but ill post some pics up maybe on wed when my Volcano comes in... do a lil group shot.... its been a while since i had bought a breitling and im actually surprised in the quality, i used to always think they were great and then after owning nicer pieces i was like eh, maybe im wrong.. but after owning numerous hublot and AP/Rolex the quality of the breitling is still amazing!

That Milgauss is cool, but I love the GMT II ceramic!

Riley, how many do you keep at one time? I see you with so many different watches, do you keep them or are you dealing in them? I am just curious, not trying to be too nosy.

I don't care for the milgus at all, very plain and cheap looking while the GMT2 is great looking INMO

well, its complicated.. i buy, i decide and then i keep or dump... im really indecisive and hard to please, which is why everyother month i get new custom wheels for my car, every other month i get a new laptop (still waiting on my damn AIR!!!), and i change my watches until im happy.... like for example, i will always have a ROO, i will always have the GMT2, i will always have my eco-drive dive watch, i will always have at least one breitling, the rest is questionable... im just glad i have the ability to buy/flip for loss because otherwise id be really dissappointed in watches.. i mean for example.. i WANTED a bell&ross so bad, looked looked looked... found one... got it and hated it the instant i opened it up... sold and lost 300$ :-( but on the other hand, i wanted a ROO sooo bad, got a few love em, and will always love em... just hard to decide which.... if i get a 'survivor" which is ideal for me "all black" then that will be a keeper, otherwise i am looking into a team alinghi as keeper but trying to buy smart so i dont lose my butt on it..

either way im a very complicated guy, and everyday i wonder if i should just pool my assets and just open an AD myself carrying my favorite brands and just collect that way, so that i dont lose so much, i mean last year alone on watches i more than likely lost around 25k id say...(but looking at a %, i spent about 400k overall so thats only 6.25% not bad) but in the end its worth it because we all have our hobbies.... and being bored w/ watches keeps me from doing other things... also gives me goals to work towards, for example getting a RG Ulysse Freak2 .... always in back of mind... another goal was my dream patek the 5102 which i bought but is sitting in a customs officials hand right now... but ill get it soon.... the "dream goal" pieces, will never get sold and will serve as "assets" or "just in case" pieces for the future...
