BMWs & watches: What more could anyone ask?

Daytona_John · 06-01-2006, 10:22 PM

Here's a couple of "wrist shots" I took while in the car.

The Daytona is the ultimate watch to wear while driving my e90.

My Yacht-Master not only color coordindates well with my Titanium Silver 330i, but it also looks fabulous with a suit.

Alright folks - let's see some shots of the watch you wear while driving your BMW. :rocks:

I saw those pics before in another topic. R U shure you're not addicted to Rolex mate?

Oww, the YM pic is new I see...

Robin_NL · 06-02-2006, 05:16 AM

My old man was looking for a 5107/5127 Patek Calatrava in pink gold, but that' ll take about 3/4 months...

So he got this one instead last monday

My father is a watchmaker for profession. It's a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Calendar.

Not that far....about an hour. Bring the right amount of cash, and you can have your pick.

Patek's are nice, but JLC is one of my all time favorites!

I've actually reviewed that exact same model. Your father is a watchmaker? :rocks:

Do you share his interest in watches? What else does he have in his collection?

bringsmewomen · 06-02-2006, 06:20 AM

You're one hairy mofo.

Happy birthday and congrats!

The 16613 Submariner is the one I wear the most. The blue dial is positively captivating.

Oh yeah, I've got a calculator watch.
