And voila! A Watch and Timepiece thread (I like clocks too, so both can go in here.)

I spotted this one at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix this year on a Rover. I don't think the company ever used this and it's an aftermarket by the owner, but I still like it.

Ford and Lincoln did use a greyhound a few decades before the Mustang and that hood ornament was pretty cool I don't think everything has to be "badass" like a Mustang or a Viper. But check out these other ones that have been used: Bugatti: MAZ (a russian brand), Lambo isn't the only one that uses a bull.

Maybe we DO need a watch appreciation thread. I sometimes get visions in my head that I like to tie in with cars in this thread. Ive done watches before. I usually do music. I came across the Bulova Jetstar commercial a few weeks back and it marinated in my mind. About the same time, I saw the Porsche 911 S/T. Coming back to post again, I had this (great?) idea to meld them together in an apprecition post. The Omega and yet another Bulova watch was stirring in my mind and so I got the inspiration to do a 1970s car thing since the Bulova Jetstar ad and the Porsche ad heavily influenced by that decade. The Omega and Bulova were the actual first watches to be worn by astronauts that landed on the moon. And since NASA astronauts were gifted or bought Corvettes... And you see how my choices were made. Just like really expensive cars, I appreciate really really expensive watches, but I would rather not indulge with really high end watches. That Omega is a beaut and just about the most expensive watch I would buy. Or any of the other watches I just posted. The Bulova Lunar re-issue is just to darned big for my wrists. The original is just about the biggest Id wear. The Jetsar re-issue is about $500 US or $700 CDN. I also love that one too. The precisionist mouvement is a great innovation. And the Jetsar is the right size for me as well. The Seiko Grand would be another watch Id love to own. But alas, Ive got 2 Bulovas myslef @David, Quartz mouvements, (No...I aint a watch snob that my watches need to be wound up) I dont need that many watches to live my life. The less junk I own, the better...

Do we need a watch appreciation thread?

Jaguar with their Jaguar hood ornament is a great choice. With that said, my favorite would be and all the other various colour combos and styles over the different model years and generations of Trans Am and Firebird. Second place for me belongs to Abarth It has a very musclecar look to it And then there is the last Viper logo in 3rd place

Omega Speedmaster, an absolute icon in the watch world. One day, I'll get myself one.

What car or brand has the best Animal in its logo? My first vote is Jaguar.

Fisker Inc. announced today that, starting in the first quarter of 2025, Fisker drivers will be able to charge at Tesla's 12,000 Supercharger Stations in the U.S. and Canada. All current and future Fiskers will be eligible. Current model drivers will use an NACS adapter, but a future refresh is planned to change the charge port on the vehicles to the NACS model. Those future vehicles will be supplied with a CCS to NACS adapter, ensuring broad compatibility. This move by Fisker will more than double the number of public chargers available to Fisker drivers when it comes into effect. View full article

Parked next to this at the Barnes and Noble today. Never seen one with the body colored grille like this. I think it looks really sharp!

This Rolex is amazing. I don't know anything about it but it looks GREAT! It looks similar to the Breitling Navitimer (although it came first). I dig that look but those watches are to big for my wrist. There's so much information that they need to be larger but they're too big for me.

Awesome personal history and tie-in with your watches!!! The Accutron (let alobe Bulova itself) has some serious history behind it. Bulova is a SERIOUSLY UNDERATED watchmaker. Bulovas are the world's most accurate time pieces and watch snobs usually dont acknowledge that. Bulova would be my favorite watchmaker.

@oldshurst442 Funny part is the Gold Bulova watch was when I was in Sales and the Gun Metal Grey watch was when I transitioned to Engineering. Proper representation of my two career paths. LOL

Here are the two watches my wife has bought me. The Gold Bulova was bought for me in 1991, sales receipt shows she paid $544. Second watch is the gun metal grey with gold accent Accutron that was bought in 1997 for $799 according to the receipt.

Have to say I see the trucks and SUVs every day now around here where I live and with a new showroom opening up near me, will have to go check it out and see how I fit in the Rivian truck and SUV. Here's Why Rivian Might Be The 'Jeep' Of The EV World (topspeed.com) Hopefully @Drew Dowdell can get one of these as a press demo for the week and write up a review.

Yeah, but I think I want a consolidated page. Less of an article and more of a chart.
