This or this?
I'm not totally serious, because I make my own decisions.
Which change by the day, or hour depending on what is happening in my life. But WG DD2 Romans. Or: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...652&cmd=VIDESC

...A car...really Seth? I didn't think you were like that...
Why buy a car when you can get a watch...

Well they're completely two different things. When you compare a car to a watch, the car seems much larger. In fact huge compared to some watch. Depending on how vast your collection already is, I 'd probably say go for the Viper. I've always found that that car isn't outdated compared to other automobiles from a decade ago.
It would be a great acquisition. Where I come from you usually don't see one of those, neither do I see a DD2. However when thinking about it I find that you'll have a hard time buying a watch when you could have that red hot beauty. Just my thoughts though... |

Really really want the DD. but have very nice, if not small watch collection. That car on the other hand is quite unique.

The insurance will be a lot less expensive on the DD2. A LOT!

I'd suck it up and go for DD platinum or a Patek 5980. Done.
Viper is nice, but there's a new one around the corner and I'm not a fan of putting a lot of money on a 2nd string model.

Plus the car is only going to depreciate in value as you drive it. The watch will at least hold its value and probably in increase over the years. You will probably use the watch more so I would go with it if it was me.

That is a very bada$$ looking Viper! Like you I am a car and watch guy. Obviously with the car the after purchase expenses are much higher (maintenance, insurance, etc) but in my case i'd get more enjoyment out of going on awesome weekend drives and just listening to the big muscly v10 over having a WG DD. Just my .02c coming from a guy who absolutely loves cars and watches.

To be honest I love cars as much as watches but I'd likely get an older car like an MG or Triumph. Those older cars may be short on power but they feel very spirited. Best of all you won't loose much if anything from depreciation. Otherwise I'd get the watch.

I'd go for the DD, if I had more options I'd probably pick something else at that price range.

 My apologies for not helping you more than that Seth (although I don't feel that bad as it is a rather funny thread!  ), good luck with the decision but it seems to me like you made a decision already!

I'd go after the DDII over the Viper. Love wearing mine daily and it's more fun than a Viper to me. This coming from a guy with a Corvette.

Hard choice, very nice car, but I would rather go for a DD Platty, innsurance cheaper, maintenance cheaper, gas etc... I have a BMW Z3 convertible, I'm happy with that for now...

DD. that car will depreciate a lot quicker! But then again I'm not a car guy. Best.

Finance both and spend the cash on ladies, booze and gambling.

I have no advice for you. I'm going through the same thought process between another watch or a Harley. I would like another watch but miss having a bike....

VIPER!!!
Absolutely. I'm a die hard car guy. I'm not a huge fan of American cars, but the Viper has always been the exception to that rule.
