Maybe not . . . if he can afford to spend that kinda money on watches, he's gotta be doing alright for himself. I can only imagine the wife's shoe closet. |

Kohei's collection is pretty well known, not because of its size as its not very big but because of its quality. His collection and his knowledge has been a reference point for serious Seiko collectors for years. I don't think he has added much to his collection since that article as very little stuff offered since then would meet his standards. Bear in mind that much of his stuff was acquired because of his close association with the Seiko factories.
As far as size goes I recently sold 400 Seiko Divers watches in one transaction. The buyer is more of a investor more than a watch guy and intends to hold them for at least 10 years. Good deal for me. I would like to do the same deal with 400 Swiss ones as well.
Cheers Phil

I need to bookmark that I case I ever need to defend my meager collection to the wife. "But honey, look at THIS guy. He's really got it bad!"

I now have a headache.
Just trying to digest the magnitude of that collection is exhausting.
But do I ever want a Sinn 156B.

After looking at this a few too many times, those Lemanias are awesome.

Is there a difference in collecting and amassing?
