I'd definitely go with a $8k BBK. You'll never notice any difference driving on the street but on track it's priceless. The reduction in brake fade and the resulting lap times are great. I don't wish I had a Rolex while on track but I do wish I had a BBK. People don't say, "Damn, that Rolex lowered my lap time by 2 seconds last lap!"

A $8k watch doesn't do anything except look good on a wrist. It offers no performance advantage. Not to say it's not good, it's just not a practical choice.
