I don't think I could afford either one.

That Le Mans red version would undoubtedly run slow...so, I'd suggest staying away from that one - group purchase or no.

I'm jus' sayin'...

I'm easy, I'll be very happy with both....

Do they offer an hourly rental or perhaps a comparison test? A video of features and an endurance test would also be nice. I would most definitely be interested in testing both models. Maybe a lease?

You boys might wanna think about having a personal "wiring upgrade" done before you undertake ("undertake[r]" may be just the right word too!) such an adventure. At least think about replacing your ol' outdated fuses with circuit brakers. You'd pbly never "pass code" with your existing circuitry. :willy:willy:willy

I'm guessing there is little or no interest in the watches. You guys are just chromosome watchers...

Now, THAT'S a new term for it! :lol :thumbsup :cheers

Regarding the watch (and there IS only "one" for the reason stated): it doesn't ring my chimes all that much. But then, only 1 or 2 of the "racer style" watches ever have. So, my opinion is jaded.

I like the Gulf version by Tag Heuer the best. I think I might have seen it on George's wrist and it looks sharp.

Also seeing a overtly strong Rolex and also Bell & Ross design "influence" in their model line.

I agree with EP. TAG makes a Monaco Gulf watch for about $3K I think. More expensive, but 100 times bettter looking imo.

Your referencing this one Chris.

monaco_vintage_limited-thumb.jpg


Limited edition to I think 3000 units. $4K list. I found mine last year. You can find them on the secondary market but they aren't making them anymore..haven't been for about a year. I also have the watch that was given out to the owners in Germany but don't have a picture of it handy..I'll try to get one.

And I really like the tag as well...actually wearing it today.

Not that anybody cares, but, therein lies my watch preference in general (...uncultured, ultimate timepiece ignorant, trailer trash transplant I am ).

I LIKE several other "high end" offerings ( from Breguet, Coram [specially their "Bridge" models] & Breitling to name 3), but they all seem either overly "bling" or too darn plain to me. 'Nothing really "in between". Rolex OTOH has many pieces right in the middle. JMO.

I'll shuddup now. I'll write when I find work... :eek:ld: :willy

Agree again EP. Try and sell a Piaget or Breitling. Rolex has it pretty cornered. Kind of like dogs imo. There are Labs and then everything else. There are Rolexs and then all the others.

'Had to laugh when you mentioned Piaget 'cause it brought to mind the comment made by the gentleman who sold me the Rolex I bought at Wynn & Co. We were discussing this watch and that, and I mentioned a particular Piaget I'd seen elsewhere...where upon he quite matter-of-factly stated that a Piaget is a, "...very nice department store watch"! :rofl:rofl:rofl

'S-L-A-M! But, it DID crack me up at the time!

What can I say? I'm easliy amused!

Another great watchmaker, not yet mentioned, whom has done some great pieces for Ferrari is Panerai. www.panerai.com

I have yet to purchase the 430 I want so bad, but I splurged on my birthday this year with the Panerai Ferrari watch. Great piece in my small collection.
