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.
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?

have you seen the sellers 'other items'.....

All exactly the same watch but with Audi, Mercedes, Alfa, Range Rover, Mazda, GTR etc logos....

No I hadn't seen that.

Can you recommend any other BMW watches?

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

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.....
As stated in my original post, I have just purchased a 335i Sport Coupe in black fitted with 272 horse powers. Silver leather interior with iDrive so I would like a watch that continues the brand throughout myself. I think it will assist me in a social situation and when the topic of conversation moves onto my BMW watch I can then discuss the brand merits of my E92 BMW.

I think personal insults is a tad uncalled for.

Personally for me it's no different to a keyring. Just an extension of the brand.

I used to have this keyring when I had my R1

I like that one.

Potential colour clash with my Black E92 335i?

Would an ICE watch be of the equivalent to ball?
