Suggestions: relatively cheap car themed watches
A friend of mine would like to buy a car-rally-racing themed watch but he does not want to spend anything in the daytona price range.
He does not care about movements, brand, only the looks. He currently has this one: http://www.autodromo.com/products/vallelunga-white-dial My first advice was the thc but would appreciate any suggestion.

How about a Seiko with a rally bezel? Like a SBSS015 in the borrowed pic below? I'm not even sure if the "rally bezel" was legitimately associated with racing or if it just looks like it.

With car racing I would always say Tag Heuer.
Alternatively you have the Breitling for Bentley range. |

Tudor has lots of great looking auto themed models in their catalog.

Other than the Daytona - my favorite car watch is the limited edition F1 BAR Seiko. I get more comments on this than on my Daytonas!
It's long out of production but might be available somewhere...
