BMW Chronograph
Hm. I bought this mostly for the cool M band. Was only $200.00. It should arrive in a few days. Hope it’s cool...

It looks cool, you could buy a rubber strap alone at least $200 so in this sense the watch is gift
If it houses a Seiko movement then it's the capability to measure 1/5 seconds of time which means no "limping" second hand for the chronograph hand when you deploy it ,another cool feature to me . I don't like jumping second hand of the quartz chronograph at all

It's ok I guess. I'm not sure about the strap, I'd like to see it in person because it looks a bit tacky to me. I think if I wanted a BMW themed or branded watch I'd go the ORIS.

Williams was in partnership with BMW if you look in the box there is a replica of the F1 steering wheels sporting the BMW logo.....Williams used BMW engines. I think there are some of the Oris Watches with the BMW logo on the face, I just didn't find one when I was sourcing this pic.

Got it
I got this yesterday and it is as advertised. An inexpensive, but attractive quartz chronograph with a cool looking band. I’m happy to have a cheap watch to wear through the madness. I may be paranoid, but as this drags out I’m concerned that some people will become a bit more desperate, so I hesitate to wear my good watches. In any event, this one is comfortable and functional and it satisfies the huge BMW nerd within.

Sorry my friend I don't.....you could try reaching out to Oris or an AD if you're interested. I looked at one when I was in Vegas a few years ago. It's really nice in person but I already have an Omega Speedy my wife gave me, so I didn't take the plunge. As I recall there were an F1 series of Oris Chrono's that were all quite nice, but that Williams one ticked a lot of boxes IMHO.
