My cars definitely are modest: 2008 Rav4 and my daily commuter 2004 Mazda 3 hatchback w 134k on it! Also 2001 Silverado 2500 HD all cheap to insure.

My watches: 116610, Omega Seamaster 300 Master co- axial, Tudor Black Bay Bronze, SKX009 ..

current watches are blnr, 116610lv and 116600 sd4k



Love the bobber. My cousin was gifted one by the gentlemen’s ride organization last year for raising the most $ in our city

Jealous! GTD is not available in Canada. Just the GTI and TDI

I'm done with pissing money away on cars, or boats. 2013 Honda Pilot, 87,000 miles. Much better than any of my MB, BMW's, porsche's, Land Rottens, very much under the radar, where I like to be.

SubC & 2006 Honda Fit.
I don’t enjoy driving and I only use the car to go to the gym or supermarket.
I either cycle or use my electric scooter to work.

How is this for modest? My favorite mode of transportation - great on gas and easy to park. Can be tough in January in Cleveland.

I messaged him about the post in this thread today and his response was. “I have two! I raised the most money in 2017 AND 2018!” Hahaha.

And to be clear. He was top 5 fundraiser GLOBALLY two years in a row.

A little more context on the cause

I have on Stainless Date Ceramic Submariner and three vehicles. Part of the reason I sold my Rolex collection was to finish the pro-touring Mustang in the photo. I'm now a one watch guy and wear my Sub 24-7.

I've done the whole nice car thing...used to drive a C63 AMG. I was a total gear head and loved the car. That said, I live in the city and it just doesn't make sense driving a 450hp car that gets 10-15mpg when I'm averaging 15mph. Not only that but cars depreciate at a depressing rate.

I now drive a 2018 VW Tiguan and absolutely love it. It costs less than one nice Rolex and as a result, I never have to worry about it like I would a nice car. If it gets dinged, oh well. I can park wherever I want with no fear. It also is much more practical than a sports car and has a 6-year, 72,000mi warranty - name a luxury car with a warranty to match. Plus, I can pull up to a client site without drawing unwanted attention. Practically no one notices a nice watch, everyone notices a nice car. Nice cars are overrated.

The watch and the car is equivalent in value at the moment
