Houston we have a problem

I spent yesterday conducting an intervention. My mom asked me to give my dad a big slap on the wrist.
He still has over 70 watches. Close to 200 in this photo that are no longer in his control.
Lots of nice ones in here. Many cool oldies. I particularly like the art deco pieces.
The three boxes on the left are full as are the boxes in the back.

Look out for some sweet deals soon.









Most will go on eBay.

Whoa! Some great stuff in there, remind me to check or send me a link when they go up FS.

Wow! Lots of great looking watches.

Holy Guacamole Gringo!

Now thats a whole lotta watches...

Great stuff, looks like dad liked the shop too!! Is the square bell&ross style a invicta?? also a tissot seastar 1000 or 600 rubber strap with dive buckle that people would love to buy!!

Nice horde! I am sure we can help out!

Let us know when they go up, or put them up here first.

Leave the guy and his watches alone!
You and your Mom are big bullies!

I may have owned that many over the years but never all at once, I keep my collection down to a manageable number like 20 or less. That is an insane number of watches to own all at one time.

He has never purchased a watch from slop.
The square case is a fake that came in one of the lots he purchased on eBay.

Any one want a Seastar strap?

That's a motherload for sure. Very cool that Dad collects as well, you gotta love that!!!

Now if I can just get him to collect responsibly!!!

No one needs 300 watches. No one. Sheesh!!!

wow

I agree with Jeff. Why are you guys pulling an intervention on him?

Wowee, THAT is a TREMENDOUS collection your Dad has Poli !!!!!
It's fun just looking at your pictures. Congratulations to you and
your dad with all of these. Also just as a friendly side note, be sure
that you both want to give these up. You guys don't want to regret
letting them go !..Thank You VERY much for showing them to us
though !

I'm with Jeff and Mike on this one.... (damn, did I say that?) The man has earned a right to collect any damn thing he wants!!! BUT, when you decide to put them up for sale, I saw a couple I'd love to grab if possible....I'm just sayin...........BULLIES!

Needs and wants are too different things.

Get off his case and stop judging. Unless he's taking food out of the family's mouth, what's the problem.

Lighten up, please.

My mother insisted that I do this on her behalf. Do not question that which the mother dictates!!!!

A wise man he is.

Nice pile 'o watches, lot of heart and soul in that collection!! BUT....like others have said.....IF you sell them let us have the links on ebay. Some of those would go well with my other vintage pieces....

Just how long has the man been collecting? Looks like a lot of vintage watches in that
there pile. I hope he can handle paring down to a manageable number of pieces.
