Check out this cool RX-8 watch.

 

Nice.

 

Looks a bit expensive, do you have a link with some more information (price, availability)?

 

They are USD$300. Someone on the Japan RX-8 Club was selling it. Very hard to find.

 

Sorry, I missed a 0. it is $3000

 

At $300 USD, they're either knockoffs or fell off a truck. Sinn chronographs are very expensive Swiss watches. This particular model sells for about $2000.

 

Well, a bit above budget then. Thanks for the info!

 

A turbo would look better!! :D

- Irish

 

how much hp would that add ???

 

It looks like a normal watch with a lable printed on the watch face...big deal..and for $300?

 

It's actually a very high quality watch- if I'm not mistaken the rotor turns in the housing like a second hand, so it's not just a silk screened face. About a year ago somebody was trying to get some imported from Germany, but they were very expensive... much more than $300.

 

Would rather get a decent Omega for that....i LOVE my RX-8....but a watch pushes it

 

I wear one while driving my 8. It increases mpg due to Einstein-ian relativity time dilation effects.

I calculate I'll save back the $3,000 price in just 475,000 miles, but only if I don't ever look at it! :D

 

Wooo ... that's hot! Two things I love ... the RX8 and watches!!! If only I were had that kinda of cash to burn.

Hmm ... i think this watch will definitely add 56.2 hp to my RX8. Yesss! And being an Automatic watch ... it'll transfer any extra power to my car, hence less battery drain. Sweet!

This is definitely on the "to get" list.

 

This watch has been posted a number of times (do a search) -- they are German not Swiss and Sinn is considered a respectable brand but not top of the line. $3000 is outrageous considering they were a freebie gift to the first 888 German RX-8 pre-orders (we got a lousy thermos and cup ). I can get one for $1800 but still not worth it -- you can get a great Omega, etc. for $1800.

 

can you get me the james bond watch

 

Omega Seamaster 007 :D

I can tell you how to get one for $365

Here is a pic of mine:

 

Depends which James Bond. Sean Connery wore a Rolex in Goldfinger.

 

Here's what my wife bought me last Christmas- it's all titanium and is unbelievably light, plus it's an Ecodrive and never needs batteries... it's pretty sweet:

 

Yeah I like that watch, but I'd rather have the RX-8 logo on my watch over 007.

Like John Candy said...I've got two dollars...and a Casio! :D

 

Yeah and I think it was Roger Moore who wore a Seiko in one, but the quinessential Bond watch is the Omega Seamaster. Omega put out a special edition 007 Seamaster for the last flick as per the pic.

 

If You are interested I'm selling one of the LImited edition; number 441/888

Brand new, never weared (look photos)

Ambrogio

 

1200USD yikes

 

from the pics, it appears that the watch is a perpetual motion watch...meaning it has no battery and you don't wind it...well, manually anyways.

it has an off balanced weight inside it that swings around whenever its moved, which causes the winding of it. when its fully "wound" it should last for about a week without being moved, after that it dies. so pretty much, you have to remember to wear it everyday. at $300 i'd say its a bit pricy. at $2000-3000, i'd say its a rip off. still, looks nice though.

 

Maybe their technology is different, but I have a Seiko Arctura which is also kinetic so works on the same principle. it can hold the charge for 6 months and it shuts down after 72 hours of no movement after which it will hold the charge for 4 years. It will also automatically reset itself to the correct time once woken up too.

That RX8 watch is nice, but not for $3K or even $1500, could do much better for that kind of money.
