OK I may be dating myself, but I can't find it. Jalopnik had an old article about a guy who made tachometer-looking watches, I think they were handmade. Does anyone know where I can find at least a picture of that watch?

This was a pretty long time ago that the article was written about it. I am having lotsa trouble searching for it.

In fact, any auto-gage themed watch would be interesting to see, if ya'll can find any!

Your searching technique has prevailed over mine tonight. Thanks!

You're not helping. I'm already out of room.

ROFL. Yeah, my bad.

At least you can look at them and say, "they are overpriced anyway!"

Thanks man. They are so sweet looking. Fairly simple too, which I like.

Unfortunately, way out of my budget range and seemingly too large for my wrist size. There's always dreaming though.

I think the a few of the ones I've got are overpriced. So this should go nicely with my collection. Nice find/memory. Great looking watch.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure if I bought a new watch I'd love to have one of them. They are super nice looking, and have that unique factor. I generally don't like things that look like what EVERYBODY else has.

on the topic of 'any auto-gauge' themed watch, I'll post my current fav, the Orient STI NBR Challenge (2011) series watch:

yeah there's lots! I fell on this one looking randomly on ebay, then went to the manufacturer for a proper serial'd one. Can definitely vouch for Orient, I'm impressed with the quality construction

I haven't worn a watch since I was a kid. Maybe I'll eventually get back into them, not sure. But if I did, these have a compelling argument.
