I have recently started to collect watches... Strange but true... I haven't that many up to date as the ones I like seem to be very exspensive..... I have a beautiful louis Vuitton one with the VL sign and other symbols on the face, the strap is white leather, with various coloured flowers on. I have a Morgan watch with a pink face and a such a beautiful pink leather strap, which has intrigate knotting in it. I have a chunky sqare faced Bench watch, plain white leather strap, which my sis bought me for my last B/Day. BUT the most Beautiful watch I have, is what my kids clubbed together for, for Mothers day for me.. The fact that they thought to do this, for ME made me cry. Could of looked like a bag of cack, I would of still loved it cos of what they done... But as it goes.... The watch is soooo beautiful and looks classy... Jeez I have brought them kids up with taste!!! LMAO rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

Will post a pic of it on my profile.



Sooo am on look out for next watch..... lol rolling on the floor laughing

I use to collect music (mainly 50's rockabilly, country & blues)..Until my collection got stolen on me last yr..25yrs of music gone in one blow..

Mika...if you are intrested in watches...Keep an eye on ebay. There are loads of bargins...Some people haven't a clue how much they're worth. My mucker in Sarkoville has been collecting them for yrs and he's a collection worth thousands (and he bought the for buttons..)I think the most expensive one he got priced is just over 5,000 euro (cost him 20 american greenbacks)

NOt sure of the Xs Sun, the puzzles sound interesting! I had one that you had to put the gold tee on, in a glass ball, it was so so hard to do, possible but it was only done once in years. hug
