New to the rotation and my first “true” GMT.

A serious watch junkie myself, albeit in recovery and abstinence for a few years now. Psychiatrist says he's proud of me. Wife even began talking to me again.
My last sin...

Very nice! I will have a Panerai in my collection one day.

Has anyone had one of these watches? Having a piece of Senna’s Lotus on my wrist is seriously tempting!!

The 98T/4 | Made from the 1986 Lotus 98T chassis no. 4 | REC Watches

Made from the 1986 Lotus 98T chassis no. 4, the very last black and gold JPS liveried car, raced in the last 8 races of the 1986 F1 Championship season.

I haven't, but it's a nice looking watch!

Here's my daily for over 30 years (until recently):



My new "occasional daily":



I tried to match my Vivid Red Emira color but this is was the closest available that suited my preferences (bracelet; date; second hand). I hadn't heard about the "Lotus" watch brand (cheaper brand made in Spain or at least the Festina Group hails from Spain) until shopping for something fun to compliment my car. As usual when it comes to watches, my spouse strongly discouraged me from purchasing "yet another watch", but at least the price was far better than my other watches.

My only watch. Breitling Chronomat with UTC

Is anyone considering getting the new Bugatti Tourbillon? It seems like a proper car for a watch enthusiast.

BUGATTI TOURBILLON

The TOURBILLON converges the immediate torque and flexibility of electric motors with the spine-tingling emotion of a naturally aspirated V16 engine.

For those looking at the 98T REC watch, on a whim I entered REC10 as a coupon code and it worked. $300 off.

Ugh.. I need to unwatch this thread (pun intended?).

With the gradual increase of Emiras on the road and Eletre and Emeya cars debuting around the world, I am hoping for a more generally available Lotus themed watch. Something in titanium, similar to the Breitling Chronomat B01 42 Triumph would be nice...

 

[Time2Fly]

That's gorgeous

That's gorgeous

Was on the fence between the watch and a Triumph Street Triple 765RS, but decided against both

Wondering what the Emira watch elitists here think of Xeric watches? Realizing they are nowhere near the same level as Rolex, Omega, Breitling, etc.. I'm wondering about quality and general consensus among watch enthusiasts. I'm more of a Seiko and Citizen guy myself, but I like this Xeric Hyperspace Automatic Photon because it's not only super unique looking, but also matches my Lotus... and I can get it for ~60% off right now.
