I may have the win... On a Porsche theme...."Do you take you watch off when detailing your 911?"

Whatever you do... don't let 5CHN3LL convenience anyone on this humble thread to google "pink sock". I did and I'm forever cursed ... my mind is poisoned forever.
The switch to watches has been an upgrade from where the original conversation was at anyways.
I also just ordered my first automatic cronograph today - trying out a Seiko 5 Sport to see how much I enjoy not having ticking noises and batteries.
Those movements are pretty solid and they are good watches. I had one of the first modified Seiko "monsters" back in the day. Custom Sapphire Crystal, Dial, Hands, Lumination redone, custom PVD coating, custom AR coating, Movement custom regulated.
Yes... Apparently, you missed what was behind the watch and the title of the picture.
Who would have thought a automatic watch would be touchy on a Porsche forum?? You must go nuts at any "Cars and Coffee" or PCA event where automatic watches are also worn around owners wrist with those conservative cars all parked around not gathering any attention. Oddly enough, none of the watch forums have a problem with cars in the background of their wrist shots. And for those that dont know..... a "wrist shot" from a WIS is considered the same as a garage shot on a car forum. Its not considered "bragging". There are plenty of WIS on this forum. WIS ='s watch collector. Its a forum, and many of us collect and have other outside interest that commingle with the Porsche culture.
Wearing a watch and posting a picture of it on your wrist on a forum about cars, in a thread not about watches seems a bit unusual, don't you think?
And I greatly enjoy mechanical watches, post on watchuseek, and own plenty of them. That said, your post seemed to be nothing more than "look you guys, I have a rolex".

Certainly not my intent. The Porsche and watch culture attract the same people with common interest. Thats all the 911/watch pic was about.

Looks like a very nice piece that has definitely gotten some good use! It's really hard to beat the quality at that price point from what I've seen. The other watches I've been looking at cost ten times as much. I'll get there eventually I'm sure, but it also doesn't hurt to have some variety, and the 5 is a neat piece with some history behind it.
There is nothing snobby about a fine automatic watch as there is nothing snobby owning a Porsche 911, nice home, great suit , quality anything, etc....
Porsche owners should know this because the same ignorant stereotype assumptions go along with P-car ownership branded by the general public. It certainly shouldn't have to be explained here.
