The watches look great! I like how you took the pictures, good idea putting a different one in focus in each pic. I wish I could see the Blancpain a little better. The watches look like they are in very good condition for being from the fifties. Thanks fo...

Congratulations, Matt! This fetching foursome . . .

Four watches, Four brands
By: Ubik : December 6th, 2011-09:08
Firstly congrats on catching the FF, Matt, a wonderful edition to your theme. I really dig the fact that you have chosen to follow the theme rather than the brand and have built a personal collection that finds the most interesting watches of their period...
