Come on then David, let's see the Monaco laugh

All I have now is a TAG Monza Cal 36 with the Zenith El Primero, it's lovely but rarely worn. I think it's due a change.

An original Heuer Silverstone is the best I can think of as a replacement scratchchin

Still the Speedmaster Professional, or anything light, comfortable and easy to read at a glance.

When I was looking for a new watch last year I originally wanted a "driving" watch, but apart from the Monaco, which was out of budget for me, they all looked a bit too fussy. So I ended up with a pilot watch.

+1 for the Gulf Monaco. Mine's a slightly older model, I believe.

I'm sure we did "this" recently.

Many vintage Heuers - especially the Carrera, Autavia & Monaco just ooze motosport history, then you have the very cools 80's Porsche Design Chronographs & of course the Rolex Daytona was named after the race.

I don't own either (yet) - but the Monza & Silverstone would be amongst my choices, the thinking mans Monaco.

I also like the Chopard Mille Miglia and the Christopher Ward C700 Grande Rapide.

Someone usually suggests the Omega Chronostop, but I have one and wouldn't agree. I have a Heuer stopwatch for when I need to know, although my car has a timer incorporated into the clock, if I could reach it.

My Sinn 303 on a Rallye strap with stitching coloured to match the chrono hands. (Excuse the crap photographs)

The numbers in red on the tachymeter scale relate to the speed ratings for car tyres.
On the back of the case is the speed in km/h and tyre speed rating letter.
