Wow I like the idea. So how many watches do you own? I have a small collection of watches Jackie will kill me if I buy one more I think.lol

Well I'll bet what I get as a souvenir is unique. Its watches. I collect watches and try to get one for every cruise trip we are on. weird i know but its fun.

When we first started to cruise, I had to buy tee shirts in every port. But, I never wore them. Then I started to buy magnets, but never put them on the frig. I guess I just had to have something. For a while after, I bought a piece of Swarovski crystal from the ship but ran out of space to display them. So, now I just buy something if I can't resist. On one ship, I bought a Betsey Johnson handbag that I loved and use it here and there. Our last cruise, I bought a bracelet made of shells and wear it quite a bit.

Probably a Rolex GMT II which I got for my 50th BD. Those old, vintage watches are pretty neat too. Two days ago my son showed me a watch he had "sitting around in a drawer" and doesn't recall how he got it. Well by God it turns out to be a vintage 1960's Omega Seamaster DeVille! And its keeping perfect time too.

Wow It would be something to see all your watches. I understand I don't think you can have to many. I don't have anything close to your Rolex GMT ll. Thanks for sharing this info with me. have a great day.

Vostoks which are basically like Russian Timexes. file:///Users/lkopp5041/Desktop/P1000013.JPG. I hope this link works. This is one of them and they all have military themes.
