Kinja'd!!!

For the Dorito enthusiast: a watch for your local RX meet. It’s even a chrono!

Reminds me of a watch based on the instrument cluster in a fintail:

I saw these for sale in the gift shop at the Dorint hotel at Nurburgring. Should have bought one.

I’d rather have this one:

Kinja'd!!!

But you could buy a good Cosmo Sport 110S for that money (Experiment ZR012)

Also, I would expect a watch commissioned by Mazda with a moving rotor to have a correct movement pattern, it seems like it just spins around the center and the edges are nowhere near the cylinder wall.

Depending on who made that I could be all about it. I’m into those gauge clusters.

I’m not sure, but I doubt it reads “Patek” anywhere :)

I think it cost around 200 Euro at the time, I couldn’t justify it as a curiosity. This was 4 years ago.

There have to be some tasteful car gauge based watches out there somewhere. Though most are 4 figures I bet

I really like this Autodromo watch, but it isn’t on their site anymore which saddens me because I want one. Not that I can really justify a $1800 watch...

yikes and especially not that for $1800! It’s cool but not “I’ll take it over an entry level mechanical chrono” cool

Lol their new ones are that much I think these were around $400, but that is still a bit much. But I am sad they don’t make them still.
