Awesome Bell & Ross collaboration with Infiniti

Honestly, this piece looks amazing and would love to own one. Limited to 200 pieces and around $5k, I don't think I'll be getting one anytime soon.

What do you guys think?

I don't like the look of the watch at all. Moreover, I don't like any of the "car watches." It feels like cheap marketing gimmicks to me.

Rolex made some Chevrolet watches some time ago with the Bowtie logo in a pattern on the face. I would love to have one of those.

Even though Ive owned an infinity and it was a great car I wouldn't want a watch with a glorified datsun logo.........

I think it would look better on my Vettes wheel than the Sub there now.

I actually drive an Infiniti but what I really like about this watch is the purple. It gives it a casual feel.

I'm really digging it.

But what I REALLY want is a Polar explorer with lug holes. :-)

I'm not too fond of that watch, but if had to have a watch that I could definitely read without my glasses, I'd probably be pleased with that one.

Now I can only read the time on my Rolex watches, when not wearing my glasses, when I look for the reflection off the hands.

Limited edition or not, it seems to be very overpriced.
