LAST CHANCE: LGI Watch Collector Survey + Data Sharing
The LGI operated watch collector survey that we discussed last month will very soon be coming to a close. We recommend that all collectors check it out and participate if they are interested in the results. LGI has agreed to share the survey findings with all the participants who qualify and take the survey. We think that is pretty cool. See our original post here for more details and a link to take the survey.

A huge thanks to Vijay for the time and incredible images of Rolex .
The seller, Bob, comes by far with a great need of $66 100 and the experience of a lifetime already accomplished, only now, with a modest Timex attached to his wrist of content. A huge thanks to Vijay for the time and incredible images.
