Got an e-class coupe, the wife has an R-class for children and lugging shopping and pushchairs etc etc. I also have a BMW e92 330 coupe which is a very capable piece of kit which is used more for my daily commute. The Rolex came first BTW.

I've been wearing Rolex since the 70's but drove Jaguars and Lincolns back then..

Now days I have two Mercedes in the garage and a lot more Rolex in the safe...

I love the Jags...was driving a newer XK last week. That is such a sexy vehicle.

Owned an M3 when I procured my watches... recently crossed over to MBZ with my E63 AMG!

Love it!



Would like to add another one of Stuttgart's finest to my stable soon... currently in the market for a Porsche GT3!

Do u have a Rolex and a Benz? Which one did u buy first?
I have a 2011 Mercedes S550. Used to have a Sub 16613 in '07 for daily use. Got rid of it since seeing almost EVERYONE in the office wearing it. But now scouting for a new member in my collection - a Day-date II President. Was driving a Jag when I bought my Sub.

Hi I have a Rolex and a Benz, the Rolex came first and the Benz not long after.
Drive a C36 AMG and wear a 1665 Submariner.
Together they look great!

Benz came 1st (bought mine in high school!)
1985 500 SEL black / tan. Loved that car!!!

Owned many since including a rare SL600 disigno edition black outside / red inside.

Recently had a Porsche Panamera 4S - very reliable car. Fun to drive. Basically a stretched out 911.

Now I have an A8 as my daily... Absolutely love it. Understated yet can light up in an instant.

Cars and watches.... My main vices

I always spend my extra money on the stereo or watches. Never could bring myself to drop big cash on a car, but life is short and I see an M4 or AMG in the future at some point.

I love mercedes (family has always owned them growing up) however being practical I drive a 2013 Passat. Living in Chicago (weather and drivers) your car will end up getting trashed. I prefer to spend on watches

Have a Jeep at the moment and I don't commute far to get to work. The neighbors to the left and right have AMGs in their driveways that I enjoy looking at. For some strange reason the more I look at them the more I want one

I've always owned a Merc. I love those cars, especially the SL and S class. Never owned an E or C but I just got an A class as a little toy cause I like the looks so much, especially the AMG package.
