    Default Absolutely the most insane watch collection I've ever come across...

    I mean... holy shit. This seriously boarders on hoarding.

    His collection is mainly focused on Seikos -- he's got ~490 Seikos (including vintage and modern, Grand Seikos, King Seikos, Spring Drives, Credor, etc.) alone...

    The rest of his collection include some IWCs, APs, Pateks, JLCs, Girard-Perregauxs, Rolexs, Chopards, Minervas, Zenith, Breitlings, etc.etc. You name a big German or Swiss brand past or present and he's probably got one or a couple.

    I'm guessing this collection (easily) tops $1M+ in value.

    Here are a couple overview photos; there are many more detailed photos in the source.

    His Seikos (that's 44 rows, 11 watches per row):

    Amazing! But I can't help but wonder if there's a point when it's to much, I mean I love watches more than anyone I know but to me this seems to be an almost unwieldy collection. Can you possibly wear all of them?

    ^+1.

    Incredible collection, but I do not understand the point of owning so many watches.

    Seriously. I'll have about 30 by the end of next year, and I'm already thinking that my collection is getting ridiculous.
    Watches:
    Lüm-Tec - M7, M23, M42, 500M-1, M23 custom, V1 Custom, Super B2, M61, V3, 300M-1XL
    Seiko - Grand Seiko SBGA011 "Snowflake," Discus Burger, SPS003, Orange Monster, Kinetic (x2), SSC079
    Non-LT: Many
    On order: RGM 801, Lüm-Tec M54,
    Pens: too many to count, but I'll mention my faves: McLaren MRB-850, Camelot, Divine Proportion, Visconti Homo Sapiens (cool pen, dumb name)
