Paging E90M3

hey @e90m3 I found an other BMW watch. , actually a whole bunch of em.This ones also a chronograph, with a roundel dial, not sure what that does, and it has the days of the week in German.

the ebay seller is world_of_car_watches he has mostly German auto related watches. lots of cool stuff. they seems to put actual in-depth descriptions on they're items too. not just watch works, might be 2-24 seconds of over 24 hours." Which is what you get on a lot of ebay watch listings
like this BMW Z1 watch!

Even for me the Z1 watch is in impulse purchase territory. so cool.
Also this one thats meant to look like a 507 Speedometer
I like the date dial in the odometer.

@HFV like that a lot, too bad it's 2700. Be worth it if it as made by Sinn or something.

@e90m3 yeah Do understand why that one is so much more expensive than all the rest.

For me the that Z1 watch is eve cooler. For one I just think it looks great wise, but also having a connect to a car that is rare in Europe, and unobtanium in the US.
I wonder what these watches are exactly. Are we’re they promotional items given out at exposes, or were they something you’d get when you bought a special car, like an M/// car or the Z1. Or are they just licensed products you could buy out of an magazine?
I found a normal version of that same watch for half the price. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1001030301/chronograph-automatic-marca-poljot-3133

@HFV Didn't realize the Z1 watch was a Russian watch. My guess it was someone who made that one of a few of them. There's no way BMW would have had a joint venture with a Russian company in the late 80s/early 90s.

ETA:

Here's another Z1 watch, still very expensive.

@HFV I also have this on order:

Now, whether or not they fulfill the order has yet to be seen. Sure, it's not the oyster perpetual I really wanted, but it'd be a new green dial Rolex.
