What kind of watch do you sport with your 3 series?

The1 · 05-31-2013, 04:12 PM

I see someone who drives a Toyota Camry as someone who has their priorities in life right

. perhaps they are a little boring, but they know what to do with their money.

The worst thing to judge a person by is their car. All it tells you is if they are passionate about cars or not. One person will spend every cent they will ever make on a car and live life on a tight budget, but at least they have their dream car.

Another will have a car as a status symbol and know nothing about the car.

And another buys a car simply because it gets them to work and moves their family around safely.

Watches are more of a luxury item as people don't take out a loan or finance one. As a result they are more telling of a person in some respects.

There's also nothing wrong with financing or leasing a car, good for business write offs. So, having that debt can be beneficial.

Just for the record, I'm one of those people who hates being judged by what they have. I go to meetings in t-shirts with graphics on them wearing jeans and sandals (depending on importance obviously). And wear 50-100$ watches for certain tasks.

The 2000 dollar suits are for family getting married and such

.

The watch collecting is just a waste of money that I enjoy.

Either a Seiko Honda F1 Sport watch or my Citizen dive watch.

I don't know why, but for some reason, the El Primero watches always look best with a brown band.

Nice choice! I swapped out by black band for a brown band before I even put the watch on my wrist the first time.

Brett335i · 06-06-2013, 06:36 PM

I switch between my white gold Citizen Eco-Drive with brown back face and my all black Picard & Cie with a 1.5inch big face.

I actually did the opposite with my PVD coated B&R vintage chrono...had brown and went to black. Think it's the black case that made up my mind.

The Zenith came with that band...hadn't really seen that combo before but I'm a fan

^ got pics of that B&R you're referring to?

Of course it's only the style that's vintage...watch is only a year young.

Rolex Daytona?
Rolex Submariner?
Omega Seamaster?
Breitling?
Tag?

I'll start: Omega Seamaster Professional Chronometer (ref.2531)

Bling bling!

Circa 80's Rolex Oyster Perpetual Two/Toned Datejust
