Interesting, I have never seen an Airking with a MOP dial, let alone diamonds.
That is quite unique.
Wear it in good health.

I wear it rarely -- only on special occasions or a night out.

I think I don't get over its novelty then, I have a thin Tissot that I wear day to day:


I like that since it has the date -- the Rolex doesn't which is why I like wearing it once in a while

Just this past weekend my wife got me an Omega Speedmaster Day Date for my bday. I am now forced to wear it almost every day because I sure wouldn't want to go through the hassle of getting it current when it runs out of power!

I didn't like Panerai at first but they are growing on me, particularly the PAM 088.

Panerai watches are actually some of the rarest watches due to tight supply by the company. A little like de beers controlling the supply of diamonds if you ask me. There is not a lot of heritage either as most of their watches use ETA movements. I think the design is great though, but I do think they are way overpriced.

I wear a Zenith chronomaster open daily. Sometimes I will just stare at the El Primero movement. Very nice watch.

My next target is an AP Royal Oak. I would go for the offshore if my wrist was not too thin, but I tried one on at the dealer and the lugs were sticking out.

it seems the most faked watch I see around town I see is the breitling navitimer. alot of blacks sporting this watch and same with the post college frat boy types. good looking watch but it is the most common watch on dbags

I have a basic D&G watch. it is quartz movement (cheap) but looks good and it was only $400 so if I get jumped or something not a big lose to me

plenty of races wear all kinds of watches, no need to single out one in such a fashion.

+rep to you. That's an awesome watch....love the Zeniths. The AP ROO has some incredible special editions, but also at an incredible price tag...

Jacques Lemans. No one has ever heard of it. Which makes it better. Graduation presents are awesome.

Had to pull the pics from the internet, but we got these yesterday. Our ten-year wedding anniversary is Dec 31. I absolutely love mine and don't ever want to take it off!

Congrats Melissa!

The one that comes as a free prize in a box of Cracker Jacks.

that one because im only 18 live in so cal and surf often...

most of these watches befit a Maserati owner, not BMW

Ive got a few Pams and a couple of swiss chronos, but if someone asks me, I say all my watches are Chinese-made replicas.

Other than the Timex LCD I wear to work out.

My first Swiss I treated myself to for my 40th b-day was an Omega SMP! Congrats.

I got the Speedmaster for my 40th. I got myself an Omega SMP last year for my 10yr anniversary.

The IWC Pilot chronograph (not Big Pilot chronograph by the way) is a wonderful watch. That would be a great Xmas gift.

Thanks, Mike.

So what watches should a BMW driver wear? By the way I'd rather drive a Maserati than my 328i. Also, I wear a Chopard Pro One, JeanRichard Paramount and Seiko Orange Monster.

Thanks, Mike.

Correct Mike, my hasty tired-from-work mistake.

If you have enough money to be chauffered in a 760iL and live on a multi-$million estate a $5000 watch might make sense

Otherwise the average BMW is not all that special in this day and age. The idea in general seems rather pretentious.
