I would vote for the TAG. I still have a thing for the Monaco. I am wearing the Movado and could be considered a watch whore by my friends and family. One of these days I need to get a Breitling.

Sweats and an expensive watch rocks.

john970 · 05-02-2008, 12:54 AM

Rolex GMT master II in all black - not too flashy, useful features, classy.

shmee150 · 05-02-2008, 12:58 AM

TAG: Trendy and fashionable, but not over the top

Watch down, just the car to go hehe

runNgun · 05-02-2008, 01:10 AM

Been interested in this one lately, but I'd have to sell my 1er to pay for it. Kinda defeats the whole point.

I've been contemplating this unique timepiece:

Citizen Skyhawk A-T
JY0000-53E (Stainless Steel Version)
JY0010-50E (Titanium Version)

Eco-Drive (Never needs battery)
Atomic Time Radio Sync!
& More...
More pics & info

A 2 minute video commercial for this watch. Enjoy!

Great choice. Citizens are bullet proof and have great features. ie, dual time zones, flight computer (slide rule on the bezel), ect... I would highly recommend Citizens for there usefulness and durability. The eco drive system is fantastic, you never need to change the battery.

Chop79 · 05-02-2008, 02:14 AM

I would also recommend the titanium if you don't like clunky feeling watches. It's much lighter than the stainless and you hardly know it's there.

Dan203 · 05-02-2008, 03:17 AM

I hate spending lots of money on clothes, jewelery, etc... I recently bought a Citizen watch which cost me about $300 and for me that was quite a splurge. I couldn't imagine spending thousands on a Rolex.

A Rolex Daytona. The wait for the watch is four times longer than the wait for the car.

rdkind62 · 05-02-2008, 03:56 AM

I think this is appropriate.

Coming from a family of watch-case makers, I have been keen on watches since childhood and have a variety, chosen (over many years) not for show but for their horological interest or for their appropriateness to occasions or functions. The watch I wear in the 135i, or any other car, depends on where I'm going and why. If someone else wears a Timex in his Veyron or a big-ticket mechanical watch in his Chevvy Tahoe, what's it to me? Watch snobbery is as brainless as car snobbery.

A smooth, understated RADO imo!

Panerai Luminor GMT.

buckwheat986 · 05-02-2008, 07:34 AM

watch? what's the point?

doesn't the 1 come with an in dash clock?

Shocker · 05-02-2008, 08:11 AM

I know i'll prolly get flamed for this one, but does it really matter?
It's a watch, it keeps time. :iono:

Ohh, me likely. And less than $500 it seems. If it is not worn every day, how long will it stay working? The Eco-drive is solar right?

Chop79 · 05-02-2008, 08:51 AM

It is a solar power system. And it will work for a LONG time without seeing the sun. I don't have any stats, but I wore one in though the long Alaska winter with no problems. I imagine that it would be fine for well over a year without seeing much sun.
