    Love that watch safe. It is beautiful and a Marvel of engineering. One of my pet peeves is having to reset my watches after they've set and not been used. Yes advertising does work as you say you see their names plastered all over the racetracks. I would collect one of each of the sponsored drivers just for fun. I would get a beater watch to take to the track when working like you say you don't want to damage any of your nice ones. The beater watch I used to use when I was working was a G-Shock. Not expensive and they could take a lot of abuse.

    Merry Christmas! You now hit all three of my passions! Photography, racing and watches! In late '65 I saw an ad in New Yorker of a Rolex GMT. I didn't know a Rolex from Timex at the time but I thought the GMT was unique, totally different than most watches. I wore that one for 50 years replacing it with a two tone blue Submariner. Stay passionate!

    Kym, I actually resisted watching this particular post because I have a deep but amateur love of watches, I thought I would get depressed seeing someone with a great job and a great collection that I could never attain, but it turns out I really enjoyed your watches and the backstory to each of them. Like you, my first watch that I love is a Seiko that my dad gave me, probably not very expensive but he has had it for probably 50 years. He has since passed away so it means that much more to me. Today my everyday watch is a Tissot T-Sport MotoGP, not F1 but it is motor racing. I promised myself my next watch will be a TAG...maybe the Monaco. And I love your watch safe. Perhaps something I can aspire to have instead of a wine cellar.

    That Oris Pilot Pointer-Date would look awesome on a bund strap!!! That Patek ❤. I’d get that Breitling regulated. There’s no reason why it should not keep great time. Chopard, imo, is more of a watchmaker than people give them credit for… although that sexy Mille Miglia uses a pedestrian ETA movement, not the in-house LUC. El Primero Daytona is the only Rolex I care for in this collection. Although one can never go wrong with a black-dialed no-date Submariner. I’d sell off the Rolexes, keeping only El Primero Daytona, and get a Richard Mille and special edition Heuer Monaco. That would tie into the car racing theme.

Had pictures in many of the popular car magazines like Hot Rod, Car Craft and such too. One of my pictures showed up in a magazine a few years ago and when I called them out, a nice check came in the mail. You must protect the value of your work.

    Rolex is just about my least favourite watch brand. They’re more about what other people think (artificially restricted supply) rather than what the owner thinks. And aesthetically they look like the Casio of the luxury watch world, the way they overload the dial with text. Much prefer Omega - the co-axial movements have more precision and history to them, and they just look more pleasing.

    The daytonas have different second hands because they are different movements. One is the zenith movement (white), the black is the in-house Rolex movement (4130 I think).

    Hey there Kym! Loved that you came up with this video. Actually when you did a previously video showcasing a fancy drawer with your watches, I had to freeze the screen to try to see them, so you read my mind in a sense when you made this video. I have to admit though that I cringed a bit when you threw them like that onto the table. Lol please do a video on your fancy luxury scarfs next!

    Really enjoyed your down to earth approach, toss two Daytona’s on the table😂. I stand corrected , but Rolex asked Roger Federer what they could get him, and he went for the Zenith movement Daytona! I have the latest owns, but will gladly make a swap😀Think that safe is worth more than all the watches, careful they always go for the safe. I was a victim of a armed house robbery, and they just demanded the code. Cleaned me out, so had to start again. Be safe and enjoy them. We are not here for a long time, but a good time!
