///M wristwatch w/ new straps

KingpenM3 · 12-30-2015, 12:36 PM

Check out my ballin' new timepiece. BMW M watch that I purchased at the Welt (using my 10 Euro credit). Then I found a Nato strap to match my M3 (SS) and another with the actual ///M colors. Also pictured is the strap that came with it, I guess they are going for a carbon fiber look, but I just don't like the feel of a leather strap. (sorry for the huge pictures, not sure how to size on the forum, help sizing would be appreciated)

That watch would be so sweet with this jacket.

Xtabi · 12-30-2015, 01:28 PM

Looks pretty cool. I like the M color strap.

hatepotholez · 12-30-2015, 01:33 PM

good stuff!

I thought I was the only one buying M clothing and accessories

Vigilant · 12-30-2015, 01:41 PM

One of my vices...watches...but have yet to purchase any M specific apparel or accessories other than what was given to me as a gift from my local dealer.

As far as the watch...the Ronda Quartz movement is a good one at this price point...it would have been a better deal with sapphire crystal and/or an entry automatic movement.

Regardless...I like the M colored NATO strap.

dalto · 12-30-2015, 01:42 PM

How does that watch look on the wrist with the nato?

I have a bunch of nato straps but I always end up taking them off and replacing them with traditional straps.

You must be an asshole then.

(I love them too) A used Panerai is within reach. I just have to hide it from my wife.

Lol...I enjoyed the read. If you have the opportunity to get the Panerai...go for it...that's on the wish list...in the meantime, I will wear my assh#lish Omega Planet Ocean...a wedding gift from the wife...

Thank you for the inclusion.

Ranks right up there with ///M driving gloves.

I'm not sure that's accurate though.

I wish bmw would sell automatic movement watches (and put iwc analog clocks into cars, like amg...)

jtodd_fl · 12-31-2015, 07:12 PM

So, totally NOT a Breitling guy, and yes, I would be a watch snob "asshole", but what about the Breitling Tourbillion they are putting in the Bentayaga (or whatever that beast is called). I would be all over a nice, subtly branded high-ish end mechanical watch. There are some special Jag and Aston Martin maechanical watches with door unlock and engine start capabilities. Kind of a cool idea.

nicknaz · 12-31-2015, 10:20 PM

I would be ok going the complete other direction with a custom UI for iWatch or other wearable tech.

Being able to summon my F80 by speaking into watch (batman style!) would be awesome

Wait, you didn't get that option with yours?

Adding the link a story on the Bentley Tourbillion.
