Having said that, I don't wear any jewelry anymore. I've actually been charged extra for just wearing a nice watch! (In Jamaica - jet skiing).

Just because I might have a little more money doesn't mean I should be charged extra. Pissed me off.

Anyways, besides my Turbo, I try lie low. I don't like too much attention. FWIW, the Turbo is probably the lowest key premium sports car. Lambos, Ferraris, Mclarens, etc. all receive a LOT more attention.
Haha! Good point. Well a BMW is yes a nice car but I think people feel that spending more on a car isn't a big deal but spending $5k on a watch when you could spend $50 is.
