A hobby that marries with Mercedes very well...
Well, I thought I'd share another passion with you all besides Mercedes-Benz.
I've been into watches for a few years now and own/owned a fair share of Omega's and somewhat recent, an IWC.
IWC and Mercedes have a partnership and cross-promote their brands. So I thought these too marry well together;
Yeh, us watch enthusiasts are a nutty bunch. If you think taking photos of an IWC in a Merc is odd, you dont want to visit www.watchuseek.com and view the thread of the chap who boiled his Omega with his pasta... no I'm not kidding.

Too busy for my taste, but a very nice watch! I prefer a smaller diameter watch as well. However I have to admit that my Tag with a blue face does match my car nicely, so now I am wondering if I could become a bit nutty myself.
Of course that first picture also makes me think about the Parktronic retrofit again -- unfortunately, I doubt I'll ever do it.

giving me a link to IWC's site is like giving "just one beer" to an alcoholic.

I'm a big watch nut myself. Kinda goes along with being a pilot. Right now I have an Omega Speedmaster, Tag Monaco, Tag Formula1 Chrono., Breitling Chrono automatic, and an Oris ProDiver Date. I try to buy one nice one a year.

If your serious about buying one, shoot me a PM and I'll send you a forum of fellow collectors who may know which authorised dealers give best discounts in the US. I bought mine from Amsterdam and had it shipped to Australia, even with import duty, saved a few thousand.

2006 C230, 2006 BMW M3, bye bye C55:(
First off, a right hand drive mb
Make it a stick shift and I'll be happy for days. I am no longer following watches. Spent TOO much money on them and it became addicting as I would see one every week that I loved.
Gorgeous watch though

Not a big fan of the TAG design. The AMG IWC is more preferred but still not really my style.
