Picking up my new car today. Which watch to wear?
I am picking up my 2010 BMW 650i convertible today. I had my Omega on when I decided to buy it but I think picking up a car like that is a Rolex moment so since I have two GMT's, which one should I wear, the TT or the Pepsi?

Yeah...I agree.... I think the Pepsi, the classic. Nothing against the TT but the car is the bling today, your watch should be the classic.
P.S. If you don't like the car for any reason let me know, I'll trade you my 92 Toyota Pickup for it! |

Cannot see any difference any watch would make to picking up any car just wear what you want.

I bought. I'm moving to Florida in the fall so there will be a lot of trips between here and there until I move permanently so I will put too many miles on the car for a lease.

The Pepsi. Congrats on the car. I have a 850i, sort of the 6 series many years ago. I love their cars. 4 beemers in my garage. 1100s boxercup,X3,530i and 850i. Looking for a vintage mid 60`s r69 bike. You will love the 6!!!

If the car figures out that you didn't wear the TT on the first date, it may be angry, resulting in poor piston ring to cylinder seal. And then the rest will be another sad story.
By all means wear the TT, and resist the urge to hammer that car to hard, or lug it for the first 1000 miles. By the way nice car...............

Cannot disagree any more.
Agree. While you chose not to fawn over or give validation to the OP's selection of a (nice) car and his choice of watch to wear, you nevertheless gave a simple and honest answer. I didn't see anything rude about it; not sure how some of the others took it as being "over the top"? |

Guys, this is the internet, just have fun!!! No reason to belittle the OP, I've seen far sillier questions than that. If you don't have anything nice to say.........
