Default Where to buy an automotive themed wristwatch?

Not looking for a lame *** one that just has a logo in the dial.

Something which has a dial that looks like a tire or a brake disc and the straps look like a motorcycle chain would be awesome.

The only one I found so far is one by Pirelli that looks like a brake disc, but costs an arm and a leg.

Any ideas?

I don't know what you mean by a hefty price, but I'm a big fan of the Tissot Moto GP series watches. They have brake disc/caliper bezels, swiss quartz, and Tissot's been in the watch making business for year and years and years. There isn't much of a difference mechanically between the $3-400 one and the $1200+ one besides lighter weight from the use of titanium and maybe a MotoGP rider's name. One day I'll be done modding and will have one. :d......





:edit:

Also, don't buy a "designer" watch from a manufacturer that isn't a genuine watch maker and don't go the ebay route for an "authetic" watch... certificates of authenticity can be forged as well as everything else on the watch and you'll be dealing with sub-par quality. A watch should be bought from a brand that is dedicated to time keeping, not some Gucci/Fendi/Armani/(insert manufacturer brand company) bull**** company that does it so you can match their similarly overpriced belt buckles or shift *****. You might also want to look at Tag Heuer (sp), they've got some nice F1 and other motorsports design watches.
