My humble suggestion...
Patek 5905P black dial. It is black, sporty with the Chrono function in addition to the annual calendar. It exudes class and with a 42mm case legible and comfortable on the wrist. I think it would be a close contender if you don't already have this one. This message has been edited by An77n1 on 2016-05-10 15:43:57
My new shopping bag is in the end of the production line and ready for test drives.
But from where to find a matching watch? Best, Kari ...
I like Breguet a lot
but I'm looking for something more sporty and something fitting with the colours of the car. Best, Kari
I have an issue with watches having
the ETA movement - I prefer having a manufactured one. GP could be nice but the movement is really small compare with the case and I'm not praising how the date is located in the watch. Best, Kari
AP's Carbon Diver would match the Black/Yellow color theme perfectly.
But I know you\'ve had your issues with AP (though the Diver has a different movement than your 15202) ...
That would be my #1 choise
without my experiences about AP. I thought the new yellow ROO chrono and already ordered hornback straps with yellow stitching made-to-measurements. But I'm afraid for the third Monday production watch in a row. Best Kari
Nice. But Injust wish
it would be made either of steel or platinum. I am not really a "golden boy". Best Kari
That looks stunning, thank you!
I'm just missing all red from inside. Perhaps unfortunately... Best, Kari
What do you think about a HUBLOT MP-05 "LA FERRARI" ALL BLACK?
Very impressive Ferrari and Huge congratulations Kari. Cheers, Patrickh
Hi Patrickh, I am, unfortunately,
allergic to Hublot. It's not my kind of brand. Furthermore, all the watches "dedicated" to something like Bentley or whatever, are not my cup of tea. Thanks anyhow. Best, Kari
You should also ask Ferrari to provide you some leather parts to create your own dedicated straps
+/- with their "small" Horse print in. Best regards, Patrickh
There's a difference:
I have heard that S.Sarpaneva is in love with Koskenkorva (vodka). I'm not. But there's something very Finnish in his watches. Think about the best known Finnish mobile game producer and their #1 product: Angry Birds. Angry Moon, Angry Birds, Angry Finns....
I wouldn't call it angry
I\'d call it melancholic. Love those moons! And a watch like that in a Ferrari like (soon to be) yours is a killer combo. Don\'t forget that another flying Finn driving the fastest Ferrari is wearing a Sarpaneva!
Is he?
Both of the Finns we are speaking about love Koskenkorva. We used to go to the same bar in Helsinki with Kimi and he was normally drunk like a baboon. A typical Finn... I think the moon in Sarpaneva's watches is not melancholic but Hangover Moon. Best, Ka...
When I have some extra hours in Helsinki,
I will try to book a meeting. At least we speak the same language. Best, Kari
California & ?
Congrats on the car. Perfect! A sporty and black high end watch to go with it? How about something from Richard Mille? My choice is RM035 or RM055 in black. Otherwise, go for something more "classically sporty": Platinum Datograph Up/Down or a 5204P with ...
RM is very unknown to me
ALS Dato would be cool but perhaps it's lacking the elegance of an Italian car. Best Kari
Naturally 5370P
would be best because it costs the same as the car. That one I save for my next Ferrari which is already in my dreams. My 5960/1A is reserved for my 911 Targa GTS. Kari
How about an automatic digital?
...after all, the Ferraris have also come a long way from being strictly mechanical and analog performance machines. Probably produced in even lower built numbers, but with an equally and distinctly different approach to watches as we know them (thanks to...
Without knowing you, Dr. Kol, and will all due respect:
The Ferrari California isn\'t exactly for "old and conservative" either... Your exquisite taste in watches is timeless and if anything, gets only better with age and experience. But of course digital isn\'t for everyone. Don\'t own one either. Yet. Happy ...
I always need to remember
that my wife is 29. She can drive Ferrari and I can slowly follow her with my 911 Targa GTS... Best, Kari
The rims only lead to one conclusion:
Roger Dubuis Because of the star shape can be found on both. Cheers, Kolosstt
It looks pretty cool
but these co-brandings are not my thing. I wouldn't buy Patek suits, shirts, underwear... Best, Kari
When I see the five-spoke alloy wheels...
...I think Roger Dubuis Excalibur Automatic Skeleton. ...
It's a fine skeleton
The star bridge is very attractive, and the skeleton gives excellent views of the micro-rotor and it's transmission, and the mainspring which powers a four wheel gear train and a separate motion work. Superb. But for more stealth and simplicity I might al...
Thanks a lot - I will study the watch.
I am probably too limited with my selection which is mostly Patek, Rolex, VC, Breguet... Best, Kari
Being Richemont and Geneva Seal..
I would say RD is a good step into other territory - bold yet familiar in quality and execution.
Writing in from California, here's an offbeat choice
The IWC Ingenieur Climate Action with black Kevlar and yellow stitch IWC, not ETA movement, ceramic bezel, dial design like brake calipers grabbing a disc, yellow accents, AND probably would come with some CO2 offset credits... Cheers, Mike aka Cazalea ...
Thanks Mike,
This might be suitable. In my Ferrari there's so much carbon that it nearly makes me sick. At least my bank account did not like that. Best, Kari
I forgot to mention:
By the end of May, I will pick up one of the ideas presented here. The father of the winning proposal will get a brand new Patek Philippe travelling roll for 4 watches. Best, Kari
Ok, but...
...as you have not limited the number of entries I am going to give you a full consultation! Option 4: URWERK UR-105TA
But hey, that's space age!
I am so bloody old that I can hardly operate a chronograph. Best, Kari
LOL
Don't be fooled this is nothing more than the wandering hours that have been around since before the wristwatch - it's just dressed in a modern suit! As for the turbine dampers on the back, I will give you a tutorial when you DO decide to buy...
That depends on whether you like Big Apples
Happy to oblige if you are in Manhattan any time. There is a particular watch store that has a handful of very apt watches for that car under one roof; including the UR-105 so you can play before you pay.
I love to eat Bib Apple
once every year and normally I take my family there in the autumn. A lovely city - I never get bored with that. Furthermore, I have business with a NYC based company. Hope to see you this year and get some tutoring. Best, Kari
Great, then I only have to wait 3 weeks!
and that gives me time to buy 3 new watches Mike
I don't think you need another watch other than the one you ordered....
the 5370P with black enamel! That's the matching one I see with this car. Congrats! Rgds Raymond
It will still take some time
before I'll get that. Perhaps in the end of the year, perhaps next spring before Baselworld. I will pick up, like I mentioned, on 25th 3 new Patek in platinum plus one in steel. Additionally, I need to pick up a vintage in May. This is so much, also money...
Something from the Blancpain Evolution line?
Not sure if this has already been mentioned... Gorgeous car! Cheers, John
Hi John. I have a soft spot for BP
and I have been looking at their Evolution line. The sad part is that I bought last year a BP chronograph but I am not wearing the watch at all. Even I like it a lot. Best, Kari
the top end of the Evolution line is reserved for Lambos ...
... but I had a suggestion of the chrono rattrapante flyback big date in mind, too ...
True. I did not realise that.
So BP Evolution is out. Or I need to visit Lambo shop. The good thing with Lambo where I live is that it could be used for cleaning the roads from snow in the winter... Best, Kari
You have ordered the matching watch already: Patek 5370 P
What else should go with a Ferrari? Best Moritz
I get the car so much before the watch that another watch is needed.
The coming 5370P is for "my next Ferrari". Now they have a car with 4-wheel drive. Fantastic here. My chooses of cars is quite limited because I need to buy something which can also carry our 2-years old. I proposed my wife today that we would assemble a ...
You don't need a Lambo!
I once saw someone driving a Honda Civic with the Jaeger LeCoultre Amvox / Aston Martin DBS transponder. And Ferrari is nicer IMO than Lambo anyhow! Oh well...the Blancpain L-Evolution was the first piece that came to mind... Cheers, John
Lambo do not make family cars anyhow
but Ferrari is always having a model or two where the kid can be thrown to the back seat. Best, Kari
The watch is still open
but the cufflinks arrived today. Nice enamel with five colours. Best, Kari ...
Indeed,
Tarja has this watch and I'm sure she'll wear it day and night against both car keys. Those women... Best, Kari
I do not get it as I can't find a typo.
But no, I did not re-marry. At least she looks familiar. This bloody memory... Best, Kari
I always carry her ID in my wallet:
Tarja Anneli is her name plus my family name. It's historical. Estonia was for about 50 years under Soviet occupation. Let me give you an example: somebody was baptised "Jyri", a very typical Estonian (and Finnish) name. The same guy used the name "Juri" ...
