It may be sacrilege to say this here, but my driving inspired watch would be an Omega Speed Master.

I think for the OP a Carrera would be most appropriate.

Nice shot!

I've seen a lot of drivers wearing their watches on the right wrist and wondered why. Might it be because the action of shifting gears will keep it well wound, or is it just totally preference?

I think it is probably preference for most. I'm actually left handed but until my surgery I always wore on my left wrist. Now it is too uncomfortable to wear on left and I can't go without!!IMG_4137.jpg

It will be my white dial Ceramic Daytona when I get it- hopefully soon ! Until then it's this one-


Both car and watch are named after one of the most treacherous road races in modern history - the Carrera Panamericana:

Great article! I started my watch fascination with Heuer and have several. My other favorite was mentioned...
