I appreciate a watch that can be worn daily. Both are not yet a month old, but the compliments from total strangers for both car and watch are really amazing. Even though I shouldn't be, I still surprised at the consistency of time keeping for the Choco f...

beautiful car and very very nice watch

both the car and watch are excellent creations, one with history to back it up and the other with imagination to help it along. i just wonder if Tag are jumping on the bandwagon and making a watch just for the buyers of the SLS ? would love to get behind ... 

Thanks Graham, I do recall reading about a "Silver Arrow" concept watch...

by an industrial designer Faibein Cacheux, supposedly the design would include a central tourbillon. Also button pushers at 4 and 8 o'clock to open and close doors automatically; I presume that means lock and unlock. Mercedes didn't pursue the partnership... 

they did do a special...

Really nice combo...

Thanks for your good wishes and I understand your wants Hans and Ianny; for my recent MB purchases I've had to sign a non-export disclosure. Supposedly MB is limiting production of this potential collectible, but since intro in May 2010 there have slightl...  

Your car is what dreams are made of..

... But you are right, that could be the reason for this none export declaration.. Is that forever? And how are they going to check this? What if you sell in US and the next guy exports? My old boss was a kind of car collector. He lived a few years in US ...
