Seems to work well. This is one of my favorite watches!! It has my favorite dial layout and a vintage feel. And a left sided crown for some spice.

You're on a roll today, Davey!!

What kind of strap is that?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the comments on this and the World.

The strap is made by Hirsch, very comfy and hugely cheaper than a Breitling version!

Works well with Old Lefty and also on the Avenger Seawolf too.

One of my favorite white dial watches these days. I'm still working on the car though. The lines look a little like a 370Z. Is that it?

Hi Scott,

Close....no Cigar!

It's a Peugeot RCZ. I got it last October, and am really having fun driving it.

Good try Scott...but not even close. Notice the "little" Lion on the hood?

But you have an excuse. Peugeot is a rare brand in the US. For more info on Davey's new clock see here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=34421&hilit=Peugeot+RCZ&start=0.

@ Davey Good choice. Personally, I find it much classier than the "Z". And even though not an LE, quite unique.

I could see the small intdividual "grille" intake with something on it, otherwise I would have guessed Audi TT, couldn't picture the emblem but guessed Nissan. Unfortunately we haven't had Peugeots on this side of the pond in a long time. Last one I remember was maybe a 505 sedan? Actually was a decent car for the day, at least I thought so. Like the roof contours and how the driver/passenger windows cut down from the fixed window lines. A lot of character and I'm guessing a lot of fun. Congrats!

Didn't mean to offend you Scott, that's why I said you had an excuse. :wink: :)

Nice combo on the Watch looks super.

Car, Rcz's look super in white. Diesel or Petrol? My choice Diesel but boy I'd say that 1.6t is sweet too!

:lingsrock:

I think the RCZ resembles the TT, but looks miles better. Thanks for the pictures of the watch and car!

French finesse with much improved quality. The TT is showing its age.

@ breanach The Petrol is more than sweet. Cooper S owners know something.
