I wish they were still that cheap. That is great stuff, and what a great item to pass down to the kids.

Good story. An old-timer who works at the jewelry shop where I take my watches wears a Tudor Sub he got while in the Navy many moons ago. I believe he said he paid $99 for it.

I like hearing stories like this, I always try to make polite comments on other people's watches.

haha, looks like you guys have 335i's!

I've noticed and chatted up a few of the guys at the BMW dealerships (I'm usually in and out quickly) and where I get my cars modded. The owner of the shop I have my modifications done at is a huge Rolex fan and he's the one that's shamed me into buying a new watch, lol.

I have a BMW M5 and a GT-R and a couple other cars, but I'm still wearing my 10-year old Omega Seamaster Pro (Bond) that I bought in London when I was a college student:
