·Oh, I thought it was black! Instagram image is misleading. Minus 1 point already.

·The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Porsche Panamericana watch will retail for CHF 35,000, which is almost half the price of an entry-level Porsche.

·I haven’t seen it in person but have this secondhand photo.
It’s mildly interesting sure, but why is this steel watch priced $10k higher than the other newly released titanium and even gold tourbillons? Seems like a FOMO cash grab more than anything.

·A wise man (Ariel Adams in fact) once said, if the price doesn't make sense to you then the watch is not aimed at you.

·I was shown a watch in a local dealer, I liked it and asked the price, £108k! Just pleased the assistant thought I might be in that price range, kinda like when the Ferrari salesperson offered to arrange a drive in a car I was admiring, £465k, stupid price, it wasn’t even a spyder.

The crazy price did make me take another look at the Extreme Sports again. Relative speaking, the Gold & Titanium is a bargain at $12,300. I mean not even compared to this $35k Porsche model, $12k for 18k rose gold seems well priced (albeit the modular core is titanium).
Having said that, I think if I were to get a skeleton, it would be the Porsche 963. OTOH, Skeletons just aren't my style.

·Yeah, the more I think about it the more ludicrous it gets. I suppose the target market is extremely rich Porsche owners...
That Porsche tariff keeps going up. The premium for the first Porsche x TAG Carrera wasn't too bad. But then they started to add $1000-$2500 for the Porsche name over the normal variants. Now this Porsche Tourbillon takes the cake, adding $11K over a standard one. Sheesh!

·I will say that compared to the Porsche 963 watch, this watch evokes more of the Carrera Panamericana winning Porsche 550 Spyder's design elements (IMHO). I get more feels from the car in this watch, whereas the 963 didn't, to me.
The car's silver, black & yellow livery for example (although the watch could use a touch of red too). I also like how the dial mimics the car's wheels.
The nicest touch for me is the "Spyder" in Porsche font on the side of the watch.

·I meant people who own the $4m dollar Porsches actually.... but then I guess they wouldn't really be that fussed about a £30k watch. I don't know... we know 'luxury goods' become more desirable the more outrageously priced they are. I guess it figures that if someone is willing to pay £25,000 for a watch then another £6,000 probably isn't going to change their mind.

There are several on this forum who'll buy 4 or 5 watches a year. So, they could also arguably afford to buy this one, as could I if I really wanted. But those who love Porsche are more likely to go the extra mile to get one.

·A live shot from @victhetagguy on Instagram, who just got his. This picture is more like how it looked to me when I saw it in person.

·Oh really? That's disappointing.... and yeah, they are targeting Porsche enthusiasts with deepish pockets, but it still seems completely unjustifiable whichever way you strum it.
I mean, come on..
