Clarksons watch - top gear GTR now ..

[Johno]

What is it ? Anyone know ?

[GCH]

Same one he was wearing last few episodes
Brother thinks its a vintage Breitling Top Time (as I have a couple and he knows what they look like) because of the subdials.
I think its too large to be that, and that it is an IWC....

I thought IWC portugese automatic 7 day?

[Johno]

Was it 2 sub dials as I think it was ?

Portugese sounds like a good shout. Have you got yours yet mel ?

[nightfever]

Bremont I think. Looks good.

I thought it might be a TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 17

I'm going with Tag Grand Carrera Calibre 17 RS.

I think it was this:

Just had a look on iPlayer and I'm even more convinced that it's the Calibre 17 as the sub dials aren't round, or at least don't look round - 20.03 seconds shows them quite well.

Definately not the Tag as the two inset dials were definately round. It also looked to me like a ribbed rubber strap from the footage.

Yes got it just over a week ago and love it, it's one of those watches that you end up just looking at and then rolling in your hand to see and hear the movement working. Had plenty of grief off of OH when she's caught me just sitting there looking gormless and moving a watch around next to my ear, conversations along the lines of "What the fook are you doing?" "Listening to the mechanism" "Saddo, get a life"

Waiting for my new Spitfire Chrono to arrive and I think I'll ditch the TV for a few days whilst I stare at it doing much the same.

Glad you're happy with it

According to Richard Porter on another thread it was a Bremont as previously posted, and I go with the above guess as to which model.

Well I stand corrected and humbly withdraw my previous comment!
