Hi Guys

Just picked up a 2006 335i and fancied a BMW "Paraphernalia" watch.

Do any of you have any experience of these watches or bought from this seller?

Is it likely to be genuine?

Thanks in advance

The listing says Manufacturer:BMW and the model: Spider

Anyone shed any light on the model?

Highly unlikely.

It's awful, too.

I think there were a few M watches around a good few years ago.
There weren't amazing, the usual cheap chronos with a logo nailed onto it.

Are you 100%. It states in the ad that BMW is the manufacturer.

Do these take batteries or is it possible it will be kinetic?

It starts at £9.99. Its very thin, so not kinetic. Its a Skagen rip off with gaudy BMW livery. Its awful. Truly bad.

It ships from Hong Kong. There must be some sense of self preservation instincts kicking in for you about this watch.

It's great that so many manufacturers have agreed to standardise on watch design.

No I hadn't seen that.

Can you recommend any other BMW watches?

Feedback rating 1666 positive so I'm not sure. How can you tell?

Ball have an official tie-up with BMW, you could try looking there.

Just a little more expensive but they're quality watches, still look dodgy with the BMW roundels though.

This is about 30% of what I paid for my 335i Sport Coupe in Black.

Try doing this or look here

Quite why you would want a watch with a car logo on is beyond me.... reminds me of all the old gits stood in a field with their matching STI/ 555 coats, caps and brollies.....
