Here is the Part II... The moment started with a friend who came to pick me with a car I never tried, the Mercedes C Class, Coupé. 







Arrived at our first check point, another friend offered me to drive his Datsun 240Z, for a 60 kilometers trip... 





As you can imagine, I accepted!  smile

In good company!

About the Porsche Ref. 911

The Porsche Design Chronograph I, reference 911, represents a significant early offering from the brand, establishing its design philosophy in the watchmaking world. This model is notable for its minimalist aesthetic and functional approach, reflecting the brand's automotive heritage through its focus on legibility and material choice. It was conceived as a tool watch, prioritizing clarity and durability over ornate decoration, a characteristic that set it apart from many contemporaries upon its introduction.

Crafted with a black PVD-coated stainless steel case, the Chronograph I features a distinctive monochromatic appearance. The case diameter measures 40mm, providing a substantial yet wearable presence on the wrist. It houses an automatic movement, specifically the Valjoux 7750, known for its robustness and reliability. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal, ensuring scratch resistance, and offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.

This reference holds particular appeal for collectors interested in the origins of Porsche Design's horological ventures and the broader trend of black-cased watches. Its straightforward design and mechanical integrity make it a compelling choice for those who appreciate a blend of automotive-inspired engineering and practical watchmaking. The 911 reference is a foundational piece, illustrating the brand's initial vision for a performance-oriented timepiece.

Before I bought my boat I was considering the GTR…I always wished they added more power to the Z and they probably would have if not for the GTR.

The C coupé is really beautiful, much better than the other coupés they have/had. That green A110 ... pfff my favorite color. How did the Datsun drive ? Did you like it or was it just soso ? Bim

Offcourse a vintage A110 will be more fun .. I think it's probably one of the most exciting cars on the planet anyway.
