<p>Not that I have a new X351 I have a X300. But saw the thread and decided to post. When I wear a watch it's my Rolex DSSD or Omega Seamaster.</p>

As far as I know, omega is made by the swatch group which make several watch brands such as longines, Raymond Weil, tissot, rado, breguet, Hamilton and many more. Rolex on the other hand makes Rolex and Tudor. Tudor watches are basically the same but some models use a different grade stainless steel and are gold filled rather than solid. Hope this helps

The Swatch Group is the largest Watch conglomerate in the world. They produce the ubiquitous ETA movements.

Rolex are fully inhouse these days. Tudor, a sub brand of Rolex, uses ETA movements, and not Rolex supplied movements. There are significant differences between the two brands.

Hope that clarifies some stuff.

I usually wear a Titanium Breguet Type XX. However, my favorite to wear is my A. Lange & Sohne 1815.

I'll post pics in the next few days as I just got the car :-)

I thought,odd question. But since you asked....I brought a black faced watch with a silver Leaper from eBay. Very cheap but looks good (to me) and I often find I will wear it driving the black jag? Vanity or Insanity maybe.
Also have jag polo shirts (in black of course) Next step would be a Leaper tattoo on me bum. Flaunt the passion!
It is a "hobby" car and only use it once or twice a fortnight.

Movado Sportivo to work and church, otherwise no watch at all. I love the Omega Seamaster series though, old and new.

When in my XKR (not XJ) I am either in the Rolex Sea Dweller, Panerai Pam 219 or Omega Speedmaster. Occasionally an antique Mathey Tissot really thin - yet automatic gold piece.

I sorta like watches..I was gonna talk about my Timex and Fossil watch..But my true favorite for everything a watch should be is my BALL; It's registered with the Nuclear regulatory commission.

I am not a watch wearer, however, I've always loved the very classic look of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual timepieces. A plain Jane one in yellow gold. I like the look of these Rolex style timepieces over watches that are high-tech with a lot of features.

I do have one really sentimental watch by COACH that my parents got me when I graduated with my Masters Degree at Northwestern a few years ago. It is very simple with a brown leather strap. I keep it in it's box and open it up every now and then to look at it. My parents are very frugal and I think it was a big deal for them to spend the money and I love them for that. I've always made a promise to myself that when I have the additional funds I would splurge big-time on my parents and get my mom a really really nice leather jacket and my father a late model Mustang Shelby Cobra. When I was little he had a maroon '66 mustang that he had to sell. I think he regrets that he ever sold it.

Love my Hublot Big Bang! Sometimes a Rolex, but I think it is a bit showy. And since I can't read the face without my glasses, the Hublot wins out.

I stopped wearing a watch after I retired, but I would probably wear my Omega Speedmaster, purchased on the 1973 Solar Eclipse Cruise.

I just want to clarify owning watch brands and making them are two different things. The Swatch Group does not make Breguet and many other of the top tier brands it owns.

Hey Guys, I must be the poorest of the bunch here, yeah I have 3 watches but only 1 works so that's it the Breitling, morning night and day, ahem every day!
It's refreshing to know you guys have a morning watch, ahem an afternoon watch? An evening watch? What about tomorrow? Geez, I sweat about what I'm doing in this world how come you all seem to not have a care in the World, I think it's about the car, the Jaguar and how you feel and if you are comfortable, it will show but only to those who know! If you are happy, then show it, why not, it's why we drive Jaguars, keep it up Guys, it's a good vibe, let it flow. The car is obviously A "Lady" and we strive to impress.
I don't know if you are aware, the top cars in the JD Power Survey out this week were Skoda and (Jaguar as the Best Maker!!!) Not bad eh? If I have the car I think is the Best in the World, if not then my Dreams, then I shall shudder when I have to check the time to return to the real world, Long Live our time in the Jaguar, Cheers!
If you've got it, flaunt it, but not in the wrong place, ha ha! Stu
