A Little Bling...

This is the third most "bling" wristwatch I've ever owned. The first two were both Rolex Day-Dates (aka Rolex President). I traded a friend in Myrtle Beach for this dial. However, it took me six months to talk him into the trade. I was so very pleased with the result. The original dial was "oyster" colored. Doesn't this one look much better?

My Other Hobby - Watches

My other major hobby is wristwatch collecting. Like photo- graphy, I fell in love with watches at a very young age. The first timepiece I remember owning was an early 1970s Seiko diver's watch. Since that time, my collection has contained more than 250 gentlemen's wristwatches (though not all at one time).
From the extremely rare to the casual everyday watch, the collection has been widely varied over the past two decades. One of the rarest and neatest looking watches I've been blessed to own was this Tudor Tiger Prince Date chronograph in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold (SS/18k). What an awesome watch!
