well, i'll try not to thread jack anymore than i have to but i think the two go nicely together. i hate to say IG but my ig is full of cars and watches. people love taking pictures of the two together. maybe it's not for everyone but it definitely is for a lot of us.

I am coming from a Mustang and spent a lot of time searching for the perfect watch that embodies what a Mustang is -- inexpensive, American, mechanical, simple, retro/classic looks but still modern. I never found that watch and now my Mustang is gone. The closest I felt was the Bulova Gemini line.

So maybe I read too much into it but I see correlation between cars - watches - music.
At least for enthusiasts.
sorry about that

not many wear a watch at the track. why would you. Guess it depends whether you are interested in standing by your car and looking cool or actually driving.

TAG is pretty much standard issue for people working for Porsche or BMW for some reason....
I guess Carrera for Porsche people, and Monaco for BMW people?
