Cool 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.

Nice watch! An IWC is definitely going to be my next watch purchase.

very nice! I love the SpitFire, esp the double chrono. I was actually thinking of picking up an Ingenieur (AMG Chrono)...

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.

Is that the IWC Portugese? Very nice, but out of my budget, maybe some day.

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.

I rock Armani too but don't mention that here. Take our Armani watch and multiply it by 20 and that's the cheapest price of these watches

Yep! I'm a watch collector. There is a long watch thread on the W204 forum.

Nice to meet a fellow collector. Are you a member of WUS?

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

Karo, we need these watches, even though they may be a house payment's worth or even the price of a new MB.


Tag's SLR watch



-OR-

Maybach's Tourbillion watch



Ehh, maybe when i'm a doctor, lmao.

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