Lovely watches you guys all have... BUT don't you guys get worried about being robbed by highlighting what you own publicly?

It's not hard for a criminal to back track and find out your name and address if they want to.

I was quite nieve too but after some thieving b@stards tried to break into the house whilst I was asleep to get the keys to the AMG, I have become more concious of what I do and show. So much so, I sold the AMG to get a worry free nights sleep.

Of course the attempted AMG theft had nothing to do with back tracking my details online but it just highlighted that what I felt was normal, in fact is not. Any many people want the easy route to what I have built up.
Don't think that's much of an issue if you don't reveal too much. You need a fair bit of info to track back to a location. It is possible with certain members though it's true...and I do wonder about some of the other threads on here...e.g. house renovations with interior shots, security details etc...
Plus I simply refuse to live my life frightened of everything that might possibly go wrong.

and I have a very good safe + insurance.

That's one perspective on it. Enjoy!

well it's the sensible one really. People can't live their lives quivering in shadows dressed in rags hoping that no-one notices them.

That's a surprise I'd have expected IWC to have a rapid date change function. Cycling through that early before midnight would really affect my OCD. Lovely watch though.

That was straight out of the box and wrapping, not set date and time yet but yes it could be an issue.

I've kinda gone off IWC with the whole Kevin Spacey thing...a 'brand ambassador' but behind the scenes giving away his IWC to a guy to keep quiet about showing his penis to him.
You could show me your penis in exchange for a Rolex Sky Dweller.

I'll be in touch.

He said "show", not "touch". Pervert.

Oh wow, isn’t that an uber uber rare dial variation? Proper nice.
Been browsing through this thread looking for inspiration, but I really, really like that. Must have a look for a proper Heuer.

Seeing that TAG and Damasco underneath each other, I've yet to see the Damasco in the flesh but from the pictures it looks 10x nicer to my eyes. getmecoat
Eye of the beholder and all that.
