Nice shot! Is that a 372?

You just push up the panerai photo shoot on my to do list

Kzang · 09-28-2015, 10:24 AM

You guys are high rollers... I'm only rocking the Omega...

yep... PAM372. IMO it's the perfect watch that compliments the MSport X5. Very masculine, yet simple. 47mm also helps display a bit of attitude...

Doanster · 09-28-2015, 11:09 AM

Panerai, Rolex, etc. As if! Here's what I'm rocking. When iDrive goes down, I can calculate my avg MPG and ETA to my destination.

Here is another shot from my friend at watchcollectinglifestyle, rocking an AP with Alphina B7

More shots and article here.

Woah, did I just turn this into a watch thread?! Very fine watches, gentlemen

Iambadge7 · 09-28-2015, 02:17 PM

regarding the 19 inch rims issue during winter, its not that bad at all, i have plasti dipped mine and it totally changed the looks of the car! My suggestionnis to have it sand blasted and powder coated but if you want it done now, one trip to home depot and 2-3 hrs of your time, youll be happier!

Thanks.

There's a separate watch subgroup in bimmerfest that has some decent threads. I learned my lesson by ripping AP and all its ugliness. It definitely got some guys' panties in a bunch.

Haha yea, personally I'm not a big fan of the Royal Oak series, but their Royal Oak Offshore series are pretty nice, especially the ROO Diver

hamh · 09-29-2015, 09:44 PM

Night out with the car :-)

hamh · 10-01-2015, 09:26 AM

Got this gift mailed from the dealer, quite nice of them

Told you!!! They're incredible! I'm so jealous that you have some... I just may need Eugene to send me another tin.

hamh · 10-02-2015, 07:49 PM

Finally arrived safely! Now just need a trustable shop to mount and balance this baby

Nice wheels. Find a shop that uses a touch less machine. Most of the older machines require the installer to use a crowbar to slide the tire onto your rim

hamh · 10-03-2015, 09:27 AM

Alright, getting ready to have them mounted on a hunter machine.
