It looks nice, but at $106 it can't be a very well made watch.

I ordered one of these awhile ago and returned it. The thing is massive, much too big and heavy for my taste.

Very nice watch. I love the little details, like the silver brake caliper on the right.

Stone,
Tell us about the watch as the selling advertisement says almost nothing about it's design and other important items that would make it a good watch.
Thanks

No doubt it looks good as the watch reminds me of my Jet
Stream Blue Coupe. I have an email to 6th gear for more info on it's operation. I am assuming it's movement is quartz?

They sell these in the parts department at my local Chevy dealer.

I already have 4 too many watches. I really only need one.

I don't know why people think a $100 watch can't be any good. While I own a couple of expensive watches, I usually wear a Corvette watch that I bought for $65. There is no difference in accuracy or reliability with my other watches, and I don't worry about damaging it when I am working or playing. I have two watches from Tiffany that wear for 'dressier' events, but I wouldn't wear them every day.

BTW - The watch in question looks good to me.
