Gratuitous car shot: guess the watch!

[robert75]

gloves give you a lot more grip (well, unless you have really sweaty hands) and stop the skin coming off your left palm if you have a really stiff knob. Sometimes it's so stiff I have to use both hands, but I digress.

Pardon?

[Raffe]

No. To assist, there is a long waiting list for this one.

But what happened to the bracelet for your SMP?

The watch head looks awkward on brown leather with mismatching blue stitches. And brown leather with black dial. Is this the Alan Partridge thread?

Bracelet just having a rest for a while. But it is all safe and sound.

I'd say that the blue stitching is probably mismatched to the car interior (red) but matched pretty well to the blue Seamaster. Also you will note that this watch has a blue dial not a black one as you suggest, numpty.

Nope.

I'd love a pair with the red fingers, but have never found any for sale anywhere.

The pale blue of the Playtona really does leave the Daisy look flat

two votes for the Alpha Daytona.
I better get my order in now to beat the waiting list.
Can't wait to get the phone call.

I'm sure I saw some once but they looked just a little tacky.

I would go Invicta, Alpha keep your warranty card for 6 months and when you pick the watch up remove the stickers and burn them in front of you.

Yes, of course. If I (still) had a 911, I wouldn't photograph it with my Daytona.

[Webwatchmaker]

Absolutely, could not agree more. No need for driving gloves in modern cars with light steering and grippy leather steering wheels.

But in something a little older (well a lot older... an ageing "Japanese Mercedes" won't cut the mustard) driving gloves provide some much needed grip.

Is that a Vitesse ?? I had six of them in my teens. Wrote two off. Great motors...

Probably because you've been looking for Dunhill, Not Connolly Road Rage.

Thanks Sherlock!
Whilst I like the novelty I'm not convinced I like them £300 much 😮

Driving gloves great in the winter especially. Keeps those stiff little fingers warmer

Nearly. It's a Herald Coupe. Should just have the speedo but I've 4 smaller gauges added in addition.

Thanks for clearing that up. Off topic but they were such fun to drive. You could leave a glass of coke on the tray behind the gearstick and it wouldn't spill however you drove !

The whole point of wearing gloves on leather steering wheel is to protect it from oils off ones hands. After a while the steering wheel becomes shiny from contact with hands!

My leather steering wheels do not become shiny because I wipe it every week with leather wipes, solely so as not to wear driving gloves and looking like a twonk

[Webwatchmaker]

I reckon that steering wheel gloves were just another useless item/dad's birthday present sold in car accessory shops. They look so camp !

Alan Partridge - driving gloves, lexus... but he'd be more of a Tag man.

💥 Knew this reminded me of something 😂😂

Looks like an alpha to me also.
I've heard the waiting list is longer than that of a GP surgery.

Driving gloves are ideal my suited for wooden steering wheels on a hot day, it's the only time they should be worn, unless you are a racing driver.
