BMWs and Watches. Are You An Enthusiast of Both?

[MikeRR]

Grew up in BMWs, am actually at my 5th own BMW, am a watch enthousiast since I got my first watch at the age of 6 (Flikflak haha). I think you can say I am an enthousiast of both.

Very nice cufflinks posted, I am not that much into cufflinks otherwise, suite and tie are working outfit for me, I am happy when I can wear a polo shirt and some shorts.

Just added a Patek Philippe Ref.5711 to the collection!

This Ebel 1911 BTR Chronograph was my first expensive watch





Also have a TAG Carrera Calibre 8 and Oris Big Crown Complication plus a few "nice" quartz watches in my collection. Drives the wife nuts.

She's just jealous and wants more baubles of her own. <winks> Just be sure to give her a piece of jewelry in between each of your watch purchases. If she's like my ex, she won't even notice your watches if she has something sparkly and new of her own.

All the best.

Awesome thank you!

Got the call (after two years) from the AD. Got the watch! This replaced an Explorer 2 from the late 90s that was stolen. So happy to have one again. Really love the bigger size!

I have an M2 and several watches. They are shown in the Rolex and Omega threads. I have had BMWs since 1971. . Got my first Omega in High School.

I am craving a Glashutte to go with my G80.

I’ve owned two BMW 3 Series over the past sixteen years and only recently gotten into watches, my nicest are three Omegas. I grew up an athlete and hated wearing a watch until the Apple Watch which gave me data from my runs. Needless to say, the Omegas get wrist time while the Apple is worn only for workouts.

Very cool Omega collection! I love my Seamaster. I always wear my Apple Watch on my right, and a 'good' watch on my left. I use it all the time. It's my primary payment method for almost everything I buy, it counts my laps when I swim and my steps when I walk and throughout the day, sets timers for parking meters, does quick math and accepts verbal commands for reminders, especially location based, like when I want to remember to bring something in from the car when I get home. Sometimes people comment: 'Why are you wearing two watches?' I say I'm not. This one's a computer!

Oyster steel and yellow gold Daytona and President for me.

I got an Omega moon watch instead since it beat Rolex in the NASA test. It is also much less expensive.

BMW do watches also of which I have a fine chronograph one.

I love your Omega collection, especially the Seamaster in the middle as the white dial looks absolutely beautiful!

[FSHNGRY]

Yes. Absolutely in love with both. Unfortunate that they are both so damn expensive haha

I also love sneakers and shoes in general along with legos. I have managed to collect a nice amount of both as well!

Here’s a picture of my current timepiece set up. Patiently waiting the phone call from my AP boutique for my holy grail…

I was actually planning to grab a Rolex also for the photo ops… but then I went a little overboard with the car options and, well, the budget evaporated. Guess I’ll be photographing my steering wheel instead.
