Cars and Watches
Hi all,
I love cars and I also love watches, if cars were the same price of watches I would have 100. Must admit I love a 2CV, roof rolls down can take the doors off and its fast compared to a bicycle (just). Every now and again I see a car and wonder what watch would go with that..
And for this one has to be
I think I found the perfect match, but open to persuasion.

From the UK, I am a watch nut, from the age of 18 been putting £5ish aside each week to fund my watch passion and never stopped.

I'm a gearhead too.
I think my silvery FEICE pairs well with my Jaguar - which is actually "Liquid Silver," despite the bluish cast of the lights upon it - with the chrome factory wheels.

Both great, the Jag a little faster than the 2CV!
First I bought the watch and the car to pair with the watch and forced my friends to call me Bond. Hahaha, joking it’s the other way around 🤣minus the Bond.

Jeez that's a pairing for sure. Was hoping you would be doing 170mph + down the autobahn, towing the 2CV so I could get a Guinness world record.

An Aston Martin, nice! 👍
Few know that this was one of Jaguar's logos (1945-51):
It looks a lot like the current Aston Martin logo.
Also interesting is that the man who designed your car (depending on which DB you own) also designed mine - the genius Ian Callum.
Do you have another picture of your car? I'd love to see it.
That's a Limited edition Seiko to commemorate the Honda Super Cub. Not a car!!!

I know, just looks like it would go well with the 2CV! The Honda Super Cub a rather classic bike, I like them too.
I love this watch, in fact got two because I thought it would appreciate fast, anyhow, I am glad to see someone post about it

I wanted one too but too expensive in the UK. The best special edition 5 in my opinion.

As you've maybe guessed, I'm not a car owner but a life long biker....so I've nowt to offer car wise, but Triumph did a really sweet 1200 Speed Twin with Breitling
There's been others but it's a car thread. Just thought you might like this.
(I've got the standard version, love it - 100bhp & under 200kg so quick enough for me)

Thank you!
I guess that's why it's sometimes referred to as "a poor man's Aston."

Looks much better quality than the Triumph motorcycles branded watches - I've had 2 both fell apart!! Glad their 2 wheelers are far better made !! 😉👍
