Sorry about that... It seems like a good problem to have. I say get both!

I saw the the ceramic double chrono, saw that it was only one of 1000 and had to have it I do love how it matches the blk / blk C2S

Guys Surely, a watch designed for a porsche has to be designed by Porsche?





or Porsche Designed watches to match the dials on the car?








or IWC watches designed by Porsche?

for the sake of completeness - I don't own a Porsche designed watch myself - something about them i don't like.

below is my collection - it isn't about the price but more what I find looks good or is beautifully manufactured.

the daily though is like many here - a rolex steel GMT - looks great in my silver 911...

Used to have some beauties (Vacheron, Lange, IWC etc…..had a gorgeous Zenith Perpetual…..went through that Phase…….then I just stopped doing that ………sold all but a few!

Zenith Annual Calendar (selling it now to help finance maybe the AP Offshore-in my dreams)



An old gold and steel Breitling Cosmonaute (never sell this one!)





And lastly and old Seiko dive watch that I had restored from the 1970s (model 6105)




Maybe love the Seiko the best!

for me Rolex watches just seem so dated, (though I still have my submariner). for driving I have always preferred a chronograph, I usually wear my panerai or IWC, but have always been a big fan of tag heuer and that carrera is very nice.

if I had to pair watch brands with cars:

Porsche : Tag Heuer
Aston Martin : Omega (james bond)
Audi : Panerai (the transporter)
Mercedes : IWC
Bentley : Breitling
Corvette : Rolex (every time I pull up next to a corvette the driver is wearing a rolex)
Rolls Royce : Patek

This would be fitting for a GT3 RS... black with the yellow steering wheel top center marker

Love the watch all together however

Watch to match

I have always been a believer of having a piece of equipment that matches the adventure. And as many have said it is not about how much it costs, but IMO it is about what suits ones personality. Love Rolex submariner myself, but it seems to me it goes awesome when you are sailing or scuba diving. After all that is what the watch is for. I also love Bell & Ross chronographs, which have more of an aviation motive. Chronographs definitely belong to motorsports and my C2 certainly knows I like, as it gets driven with lots of enthusiasm. Great watches shown here BTW, reiterates the good taste we all Porsche drivers have

This makes perfect sense as, back in the mid-1980's, MacLaren F1 was powered by a TAG/Porsche Turbo. (My memories are pretty shady but I think it was '83 to '87 (Rossberg, Prost, Lauda Watson with two constructors and three drivers championships during that time) but I could be wrong by a few years on the dates.) Below is a commemorative watch

I've been wearing a Tissot PRS 516 Automatic for three years and love it. Get asked about it all the time. Not a lot of people know about Tissot.


Absolutely gorgeous watch. Both Tissot and Hamilton are two great watches that are awesome values on top of it.
