Hercules 06-26-2003, 02:12 PM Made by Sinn in Germany... all their watches are expensive :0 rotarynews.com 06-26-2003, 02:20 PM I'd heard the first 800 or so RX8 owners in Germany will get these. And, yes, Sinn does make the watch.

(1500 Euro) Maybe that's why their cars cost more than what we are paying for. eccles 06-26-2003, 07:26 PM Originally posted by rotarynews.com I'd heard the first 800 or so RX8 owners in Germany will get these.The first 888, actually. It was discussed here when first announced, and the German brochure includes a picture, though that one has red hands where yours has yellow. Donny Boy 06-26-2003, 07:49 PM A watch, though not all watches . . . especially not quartz watches, is a machine almost with a soul. A good watch is mechanical, that is automatic or manual wind. This Sinn is automatic. Good move from Mazda. Not only do they know cars, they also know watches. I personally appreciate the looks of the watch, and now even appreciate the "innards".

J/K MrWigggles 06-26-2003, 10:13 PM Does the rotary element rotate in the watch? -Mr. Wigggles Lex 06-27-2003, 12:35 AM You would have to be the biggest dork in the world (wuurld!) to buy a watch to match your car. No exceptions. eccles 06-27-2003, 12:42 AM Originally posted by Lex You would have to be the biggest dork in the world (wuurld!) to buy a watch to match your car.Thank you, Deep Thought.

I personally appreciate the looks of the watch, and now even appreciate the "innards". So does my Kinetic watch fall under this category? I'm not really into watches, but a watch that I never have to wind or buy batteries for really enticed me to buy it. Lex 06-27-2003, 01:28 AM Originally posted by Donny Boy A watch... is a machine almost with a soul. Are you saying you sometimes feel that your watch knows the difference between good and evil? jtdwab 06-27-2003, 06:51 PM Originally posted by Lex You would have to be the biggest dork in the world (wuurld!) to buy a watch to match your car. No exceptions. I disagree. One of my co-workers has a Viper and bought the watch to match. Its a simple watch with the viper emblem for the face. It looks nice as does the car. Then again if you can afford a viper you can afford a 1700 watch two. I don't think the viper watch costs that much though.

Sounds like something my 17 year old kid would say, I'm used to it. cw007 07-02-2003, 06:32 AM My current watch a TAG kirium dont look like the rx8 and even here in the UK we would think a matching car and watch is almost as bad as his and hers matching shell suits.
