Automotive Watches?

Anyone know of some good places to look for cool and relatively inexpensive automotive-inspired watches?

I'm really digging this Autodromo Stradale, but it's about $875 and that's pretty much the upper limit I'll ever want to pay for a watch.

I found this in an issue of Evo, but I'm not really sure where to look and see what else the market offers. Any suggestions?

They aren't necessarily automotive inspired but I own a dozen or so Nixon watches.

You could also take a look at Lambretta watches. They are not automotive per se, but Lambretta was an Italian scooter manufacturer.

I leave any advices to the Oppo's watches appreciation society. On that matter, you should take a look at the tags WATCH or WATCHLOPNIK, there are several posts with great advide regarding watches, like the following : Oppos, I need some Horological advice!

I think you need to look into Shinola:

Hand assembled in Detroit (movement is Swiss). And I believe they employ all 235 of there people out of an old factory owned by Cadillac.

I got given an Audi watch, but it wasn't really my thing, so I returned it.

Peugeot watches have the name right, though they are not the same family.

Stauer Dashtronic. $100ish. No idea on the build. I've never held one. If you get one please review it. I'm tempted. In my line of work I don't think I should have a watch over $100
