I'll start.. my 3 babies (AK was left at home unfortunately... couldn't wear 3 watches together that would just be absurd!) but here's my 2004 Mercedes SL500 w/ my "L" Serial MKIII Zenith Daytona and my P Serial Submariner Non-COSC.

Considering getting rid of the Benz... I've had it now for 4 years. Thinking about the '08 Maserati GranTurismo or an '04 Ferrari 360 Modena.

And considering getting rid of these Rolex's - LOL I know! - and going straight vintage. Thinking about trading the Daytona and Sub for a Orange hand 1655 and buying a 6263 with the bonuses coming up. I dunno though... decisions decisions!!!

Show me yours!!!

I love it. The cars are in ct so I can't get a pic for you. You don't want the 360 trust me.... The timing belts equal epic fail. Think about 6k maintainence for every 10k miles you drive. Be smart and get a Porsche, they're faster anyway...

TimeToGo · 18 July 2010, 09:49 AM

Very NICE, Yazo!

Really? Interesting... what about the 456 GT or M? I know they stopped making them around 01/02 but I LOVE that body style. Is this a problem with Ferrari period?

Yazo...if you get a Ferrari...keep that beautiful Mac Benz...you'll need it when the Ferrari's in the shop.
As in above posts...get a Porsche (I know it's more common, but it does have good history & an excellent pedigree), they're fast, handle well, easy on the eyes & not so fussy & a bit less expensive to keep & insure.

Hey Bob!!! That's just it man... I really dislike having anything that's common.. this is why I'm thinking the way I am... with my watches and my car!

Zed Homme · 18 July 2010, 10:08 AM

Yazo, I'm not familiar with the 456, but can tell you that the F430 is the first reliable Ferrari. If cars were women, the ferraris would be 6 foot blonde supermodels with bipolar disorder. The Porsche is the gorgeous, intelligent one you spend the rest of your life with...

Dr. Robert · 18 July 2010, 10:12 AM

Yazo....I agree! My car is vintage, like me & my Rolexes!!!!

but this'll hold value better than a car.....

Then get one of porsche's gt cars (gt3, gt2, carrera gt). They're so rare they make the 360/430 look commonplace.

I'll take a look @ those @ the dealership soon. What are your thoughts on Aston Martin DB9 or Vantage?

Jocke · 18 July 2010, 10:19 AM

Great car my friend, I got a older one.

And a older one.

Here is a few pics of my 500SL - 1991.

And the older one.

I got this one in this condition from Germany in 1990.

A MB 450 SLC - 73 in bad condition.

It was cheap but it need some work.

So I have to start with it.

A new fender and some welding is needed.

Some more new parts installed.

Now the hard part, it´s a lot of work before painting.

Now we are close.

Huh, now we have get the primer on.

I choose a white color with just a little blue tone,
they call it polar ice white.

And the final touch.

It runs great and I still have it.
