MotoGP Watch Spotting

[ArtNouveau]

I was at MotoGP at Circuit of the Americas/Austin this weekend and I was hoping I might get to spot someone wearing a Lemans Daytona as it’s certainly the right crowd for it. Unfortunately I still haven’t seen one yet.
What I did see in the paddock and spectator areas:
116520 black dial Daytona
126500 white dial Daytona
A few random Datejusts
2 new model LV Sub dates
Moto2 rider Aaron Canet wearing rose gold Yachtmaster on Oysterflex
Lost count of Submariner dates. It seems to be the uniform for both race personnel and spectators, easily 50 or more both in paddock and stands.
12ish year old kid with his Italian family sporting a rhodium dial Yachmaster
A dozen or so gold Pateks/other more dressy classic models

Being a watch geek I wore my BLRO on Friday, red OP on Saturday, and black dial 116500 on Sunday race day. My longtime friend was wearing his 20 year old Breitling Chronomat, he loves watches but thinks I’m nuts for having gone through so many.

That is too many submariners!

I know a guy who won his class at the 100th Lemans. Last I heard , he was still waiting for his allocation to buy his LM Daytona

Forgot to mention at least a half dozen Blueseys. It’s both a classic piece and I suspect it’s also offered to some folks because their wait for a SS version is taking a long time.

Sounds like lots of great watches on display
