Gulf Livery Tag Heuer Watch

[BGlover67]

I needed a little cheering up yesterday, so I went do my favorite thing besides discussing Shelby's.  My local watch dealer showed me a Tag Heuer with a Gulf livery and I thought you all might find it interesting. 

I wonder how many of these actually sell?

$5,900 for the Monaco edition that actually has a Gulf logo rather than just colors.

A watch passed into posterity thanks to the Le Mans movie in which Steve McQueen, driving his Porsche 917 bearing the Gulf colors, carries a TAG Heuer Monaco 1133B Caliber 11 on his wrist.

Revisited for this special edition, its iconic blue sunray dial features the emblematic blue and orange Gulf racing stripes. A calfskin perforated blue strap, with orange stitching, completes the very racing look of the watch inspired by the King of Cool and his famous blue and orange sports car.

I'm not a big TAG fan, but that watch is WAY cool!

BTW - I didn't know you were a watch guy, Brian.

Absolutely!  What other jewelry is there for guys to get excited over?

My anniversary model Daytona says Lorex - should I be worried?

Looks like I missed the boat...I haven't worn a watch since I informed my supervisor that I was retiring...over 51/2 years ago

We had this discussion on  1.0 I think that watches are going the way of the bow tie, wing tip shoes, fat stogie smokin bosses, pay phones and the rest of it. I have not worn a special watch since the Reagan era. With modern cars and cell phones, its always telling us what time it is. Since I had-was-used all the items mentioned before, I guess I am over it and moving on to the next big thing. No man buns though.

...from the sublime to the ridicules...

(some of you may be too young to remember this - hint there was also a Presidential model)

One of the reasons we didn't have an elected President during the Bi-centennial. He resigned, Ford got appointed as VP, Nixon resigned, Ford became President the only one who was not elected to the office.

These watches are wonderful.  However, in this day and age, fewer can read a watch or clock face to tell you the time.  It all started with those darn self-winding time pieces.  Soon we will have cars that  will be self driving too.  I am becoming a robot.

Time is a man made construct.
