Well it has been three and a half years and 2,000 posts in this community where I would guarantee I have spent well over 2,000 hours gazing, learning and drooling(something I am sure my company is trying to determine who they can invoice for several hours of work time). I guess I can hardly be accused of post farming taking this long to achieve this milestone.

It has been a fabulous journey with a lot of learning and good cyber friends made. I truly hope the forum continues to grow in a positive way for many years to come and that I am involved in the process. Thank you OF and its members.

Seeing as to how it is also Speedy Tuesday (which has always been the dominant focus of my collection) a fresh peek into the main Speedy box, with a couple on the way out but a couple on the way in to fill the void

Cheers

 

Wow, now that's a really eclectic Speedmaster collection

Congrats for your journey and achievement

 

The skeleton is obviously fake, I'll gladly pay shipping to take it off of your hands! Your yellow gold is stunning!

I know I have learned from you so thank you!

 

WOW!!!

Is that a decades collection? It looks like you have all the decades covered except 1980s. Or is the one between the two gold ones from 1989?

 

Congratulation for the milestone and for that magnificent collection

 

Congratulations @Barking mad - really great collection - But I see, you have a lot (3) of fake bezels - they are wrong, they have 220 instead of 200 written on them...

 

Glad to see the -68 still in the box!

 

I like your collection because there is so much color inside, not only the boring black which is seen all the time

 

I'm sure I could find a spare dial to fit on that if he didn't want it any more.

 

Looks like Photoshop. But I am sure it will be there sooner or later.

 

If more newbies followed your ethos we would be a better forum. Been great reading all 2000 posts.

Cheers

 

I've just started posting on here, and wow is this an incredible speedmaster collection. I guess I've got a bit more work to do

 

Can we see the non-main speedy box, ?????

 

Congratulations on the milestone. You're one of my favorite OF members Pete, I marvel at your collection, even more so considering the stunning pieces you've sold off. Here's to the next 2000 posts !!

 

And only 16,724 Likes?

Whoops, 16,725.

You'll have to pull your finger out Pete and get that Post/Like ratio balanced.

 

Cheers Pete! Glad to see you've still got a killer speedy collection! Congrats on the achievement.

 

Ah, if only you collected vintage Vespas like you do Speedmasters, I think I'd adopt you .

 

Bravo @Barking mad . Your madness appears rather contained and constrained in that orderly box. A pile of watches in the corner would've been more in keeping with your handle.

Wonder how things will look after post 4000.
