Do you take it to the track? Go toe to toe with a 911? . @InterestingThere are lots of 911 models and some are properly quick , the ones that do track days are normally very light and track prepared. The Bentley Is 2.5 tonnes and much bigger, However the Bentley is easier to drive quickly for an amateur - in standard form a decent driver in a 911 GT 3 would lap me easily because the power to weight ratio is a massive advantage. An average driver in a powerful 911 would probably struggle to stay on the track and my mum would be quicker in her Nissan Micra. Not to mention the noise and the stink in the 911. Track days are not good for standard cars - 4 tyres, pads and discs etc etc every trip, but we still do Nurburgring once a year. .... The Bentley GT goes great against Astons, AMG’s and other equivalents, but on the road on a long trip there is nothing comes close - It’s a Grand Tourer not a sports car, my golf clubs fit easily and with all that leather, wood and double glazing it’s more comfortable than my house. Best every day car in the world. What is the best every day watch in the world? One that would be suitable for every occasion? One you could wear for a wedding or to work on the tools? ‘Tona ? Nautilus? ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much better for your wrist Had this for a while. Yes too large for my wrist. No to Alpinist trade........................ as I have a few people interested in it. Sold it a while ago, when things were tough (divorce, Child Support etc). Bought it back from the buyer (when things got better). Have already promised it to the first-time-buyer (we have an agreement of sorts) when I want to divest myself of it again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Explorer/Air King if a little luxury. Seamaster/Aqua Terra too. But if its a tool watch that I am happy to bash around and still look good, I reckon the Seiko Sumo Prospex works.
