my 15 year old rusty (except where I've touched it up with Hammerite) Opel Astra is a testament to how little I value the image value associated with a flash car. It works and gets me from A-B, when it stops working and I need a new one I'll probably make the switch to electric.

thank you.

i am in possession of a number of modern watches, including a 116710blnr, a 216570polar, a 116610lv, a 126600mk1, and a 116500ln white dial.

in fact the daytona would have been a more obvious choice in this case but, alas, i find myself wearing the pepsi often these days.

I have the sd43 and the white ceramic daytona and I drive either our hyundai santa fe or a company vehicle with logos that I do not pay for. I am sure anyone beside me at a light assumes the watch is a fake but in some parts of town I do not mind people assuming that lol.

Would be refreshing to hear about those who have fantastic watches but modest vehicles

I love cars. But if I had the $ to buy a watch or a depreciating sport vehicle I’d go watch every time.

Currently have a 126710BLRO and a 216570 Polar

I daily drive a 2009 Volkswagen Golf rabbit. Recently purchased a 2016 Audi A3 for a great deal, but my wife drives it primarily

Curious to hear from u all.

If I can and I have the money... Cars and watches are equally for me I drive a BMW M 1 series and my wife a Lexus Rx450h which I love it.... Also I have the new BLNR126710, the mighty Hulk and a Omega GMT good planet edition

I have a 2008 Honda Civic that is worth less than half of what I paid for my Daytona (MSRP) Lol! Watches are simply more important to me than cars.

116618LB with my 2015 Toyota Corolla Sport+. Both are reliable and hopefully will last me through daily use until I retire (26 now).

And yes, I paid 29k for my bluesy new and 15.5k for my Corolla new and am perfectly OK with that ratio.

2017 Nissan Rogue base. Company provided car, but man is it bare bones. Not a fan at all, and will definitely be springing for a higher trim vehicle once I hit the mileage on this one.
