My Current Collection

Here is my current collection:



All but the Louis Vuitton are gold and have automatic movement. They include:

Bottom Row Left To Right

1. Yellow Gold Pasha de Cartier 42mm Croc Strap
2. Two Tone Gold/Stainless Cartier Ballon Bleu 42mm
3. Rose Gold Bvlgari Assioma 44mm Croc Strap
4. Stainless Louis Vuitton Tambour Chronograph 41.5mm Alligator Strap

Top Row Left To Right

5. Two Tone Gold/Stainless Black Face Rolex Submariner
6. Two Tone Gold/Stainless Blue Face Rolex Submariner


My personal favorite is the Pasha de Cartier. It is classy, simple but elegant and can be worn with anything. I received both Rolex Submariners as gifts for my law school graduation - the blue from my wife and the black from my mother. So they both have a lot of meaning to me. Neither my wife nor my mother knew that the other had purchased the watches and both were big suprises. It actually works out well having the two colors because I always have a solid watch to match anything I wear. The Ballon Bleu is my most recent acquisition. I love it - very unique for Cartier. The Bvlgari is nice for a change of pace. It has a square case but is rounded in the center. I am a Louis Vuitton fanatic and wear the casual Tambour often. I have a lot of LV clothes and luggage as well. Now all I need is a nice 6 space watch winder!

I just LOVE watches - nearly as much as I love cars. I have a real weakness for a nice watch and can't even go into Tourneu or the Cartier store without buying something.

Great collection! I personally only like the Role's and the LV. But you definitely have enough to mix it up. Keep up the addiction! I had an LV Tambour dive watch...and loved it.

Thanks for the compliments.

Good to see you MeanMachine! I don't get over to the SLK forum much any more. Hope you are doing well and enjoying all of your fine cars.

Take care!

Yes I am and thank you for asking, the car is fine and the mileage is really really low. It has been recently Kleemannized with the full boltons.

M3-ADDICT is an unknown quantity at this point
My favorite has to be the 4. Stainless Louis Vuitton Tambour Chronograph 41.5mm Alligator Strap. That watch is so amazing.

Nice collection. I graduate from law school this December and only hope to receive a nice watch as a gift. A 993 Turbo S would also be a great gift.

Good luck to you as you start your legal career. Do you already have a job lined up? Did you work as a summer associate anywhere? Since you are graduating in December instead of May, I assume you didn't do a traditional 3-year program. I am with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. What law school are you graduating from?

Instead of reposting, thought I would bring this back with a shameless bump.

Thinking of adding a watch soon. Lots on here to consider!
