Photos of the new display for my Rolex collectibiles>>>>

[jholbrook]

Greetings folks!

The new house is almost ready for photos to be taken, after all the rennovations we've done. :supercool: I'm just waiting for a few last pieces of furniture to be delivered over the next couple of weeks.

Until then, my office area has a new piece of furniture which I thought you guys would like to see. :P Apologies to both Jocke and Hannes from whom I blantanly stole the idea from. :twisted:

I had wanted to get an Ikea piece of furniture like what Jocke has, as well as my good friend Watchfan1...but we don't have an Ikea store nearby....yet. :'( However, this curio cabinet was on closeout from the Bombay Co. sore...originally 500.00 down to $150.00. :gut: :gut: :gut:

Like it?

These photos are a bit "fuzzy" because I didn't open the cabinet door. Not to fear - more photos from my office, and the new house we bought coming soon! :]

Sold 'em to buy the house. :rofl:

Just kidding...The watches are in the bedroom in a display of their own...an Orbita Quatro Executive 4 watch winder. :gut: I affectionately call it "The Rolex Condo."

Yep - I have all the Rolex articles I've written over the years framed and hanging in my office area. The one to the left of the display case is from CHRONOS magazine - I'm the Technical Editor.

I've published more articles about Rolex over the past three years than any other US author...quite possibly the world. 8o

True. But see the white closet door to the left? If you move the cabinet over, the white closet door will hit the cabinet when it is opened. =(

dont think the door is the problem, but the position of the light switch.
for door opening you can use an elegant doorstopper
