So here is part 2 coming, named the black version! We've seen in part 1 the most glorious part of Aston Martin's racing history. Maybe we should remember that the racing history is not an ended book. This year Le Mans was again a great time for Aston Mart...  

...thank you for that "inside the garage look" at those beautiful cars. After seeing both white and black I lean towards the black but hopefully someone very important at JLC will read this posting and remember your words, "a simple high end chronometer a...

Just love that old 8-day chrono in black. Will JLC re-release that one a la the Polaris?????? Let's hope so. Thanks for thegreat post. Very entertaining. Nice photography of the car details in particular. respo

Hi, I would not wait for an eight days chrono, I've never heard of such thing! But it's always time to begin talking..... Thank you for your comments. Cheers Dje

Great post, Dje. However, now I am no longer sure I want the watch as much as I want this... ;-)...

a great post and very informative Cheers

the outer side: is black with "sport" holes. is this leather or kevlar or something else? the inner orange side is suede or something else? anybody knows? (thanks in advance)

Very supple and comfortable to wear. I have to say that JLC seems to be, finally, on the good way about straps! Best, Nicolas

I love the feel of alcantara, and thought briefly about refitting parts of my car's interior with it, but then realized my money could be better spent on things other than jazzing up my little Acura coupe (Although, you wouldn't believe what the kids do t... 

The rest of the strap is in Cordura, but when you wear it, it is very comfortable, and if you add the very light weight of the titanium case, you almost don't feel the watch on your wrist. Best, Nicolas

Still, a very handsome strap. The new Amvox Racing is a very attractive, compelling piece from JLC. Cheers, Daos

I don't know which of the 2 Amvox Racing is my favourite... I love them both, and maybe the best would be a mix of the 2? A PVD Case with the white Vintage looking dial? Wow, each time I view these pics, I remember the tremendous moments we lived there, m... 

Hi, Except going one level upstairs! This Bas-Armagnac was really excellent though.... See you Dje

The second thing I thought you care about was the drinks ;-) Both your Le Mans 2009 posts are terrific! Well, a part from the caring, the ambiance and the crowd I am not so sure there is anything we would be missing if we simply waited to read both your p... 

Hi Multiple personnality perhaps? You're commenting my posts too kindly by the way! See you Dje ps: I don't really like drinks, it's just not to let Nicolas alone!

I really enjoyed your write-up. Your thoughts about the environmental impact of cars, and the future of our largely gasoline-based modes of transport is certainly timely. My hope is that all car manufacturers, not just Aston, are making increased fuel eff... 

Hi, Apparently Lamborghini is working hard to improve its ecological performance. Porsche is supposed to later (and hopefuly sooner) launch an hybrid Panamera. I think BMW is working on it too, and Mercedes just launched an hybrid S400 that gets very good... 

Something about the white / orange / black dial still seems more special, but this all black is quite nice too

Here in the US, it is the appearance that Gulf gas stations sell the lower grade gas since their prices, in general, are cheaper than Exxon, Mobil, or Shell. (I have no idea if Gulf gas is not as good but the "image" is that since prices are cheaper) Why ... 

Hi Anthony, I don't know about Gulf products quality as they are not really sold in France! Regarding quality in the US, would you look just at the price? What I know is that Gulf is a legend in the car racing history! The Gulf colours are mythical, no le... 

In the US, the Gulf gas stations, in general, are old looking stations which do not have the clean look as of a Shell or Exxon gas station. And cause of this, the "image" of Gulf here in the US is not one of top tier, but mid or lower tier. Gulf may be we...
