I overestimated, h - it's a 'normal' Chevy 350 c i engine . . .
. . . rated at 300 hp, with a mild cam, aluminum intake, and Holley 4500 carb. It hasn't been tested on a dynamometer, but Warren's guess is roughly 10% more horsepower than stock, putting it at around 330 hp.

WristScan theme: Watches + Cars
Timerider (Tim) inspired this weeks theme. Watches and cars are a " name="" target="">favourite combination on PuristS. So share with everyone the watch that best compliments your car. It might be a matching watch (a JLC Amvox?), a racing theme (a Heuer ...
The car is a keeper; the watch ...
May be due for a trade in, but I love the color combo! ...
So . . .
. . . true. You can see the car, but not the Karrée? Better? "Ready for my close-up, CB!" There's something oddly congruous about a Karrée perpetual calendar sitting atop a Holley 4500 carb. Original '50 Merc . . . . . . mid-way thru the renovation proces...
Two grey Glashüttes this week! . . .
. . . that's a first, no doubt about it. Thanks much for sharing your PanoInverse with us . . .
Absolutely adore this Karré.. From shape to dial, from hands to cals.. :)
BTW: what's the amount of PS this special vehicle is developing ? Must be a bonus, that a family member leads/ does the restauration , ehh ? - Also love the color of the car - Splendid ! Thx for this cool share ! Best, hs PS: - on your first pic , I could...
My guess is ~ 400+ hp . . .
. . . and I'll check with Warren later to confirm. And yes, having him in the family will come in handy some day - I'd love to have a '60s Dodge or Plymouth again.
WOW !.. That's already a power horse.. Of course ..
.. the ratio between total weight and hp will play a role and he another index, I heard.. Thank you for the prompt & kind answer ! Best, also for this upcoming WE ! hs

I might have more pics on Tuesday . . .
. . . of another rod Warren's working on - check in our Automotive forum then!
Hmmm...I just realized...
I seem to really like Audemars Piguet and performance cars... Ok for something a little different how about... Elemental yet iconic. Basic designs yet instantly recognizable. Sublime ...
The ultimate mobile watch storage case...
AndrewD, these are all dedicated to you and your family. See you soon. ...
Very well matching colors.. Love both watches, the tropical is splendid, the Daytona..
.. not much less... One Q may be allowed: which Ref is the Sub ? - the Choc / tropical Sub is 5513 or 5508 (?) Best & HAGWE, hs
Porsche and...
...Navitimer... [URL=] [/URL] or how about Porsche and Millenary... [URL=] [/URL] or maybe...Porsche and JLC... [URL=] [/URL] Emil ...
Thanks, Tim!
These are the first photos I've taken with my new DSLR Pentax. Now that I see how much more flexibility this camera has compared to my old one, I'll probably end up joining in on more WristScan Fridays! Emil
There are watches for ever taste, and a Porsche 356 just for you. :)))
No need to look for a winner anymore, it is here and it is you! Best, Nicolas
Great shot Emil and very
unusual strap combo but somehow it works BTW one of my fav Navitimers you have there Best Damjan
Thanks, Damjan...
Photography was first a hobby, then my minor in collage, then a big part of my advertising career where I directed thousands of shoots, but I've been away from it for over a decade now. So it's about time for me to get back into it. As for the strap on th...
As much as I love the watches, Emil,
I want to see more of the car! What can be seen is beautiful!!! Best, CaliforniaJed
Thanks! Only a few photos of the 356...
...on this computer, so nothing new to show...just these photos that I've posted before: [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] I've promised to post about the car on the Automotive forum but just haven't had the time. But I'll get to it ...
Easy, I have these for you...
Two wrist shots and one static... HAGWE all, we're almost there.... Cheers, Tim ...
There has been many
ABR PPro shots through years but this last one of yours is something awesomely new dear Tim I love that shot Best regards Yours Damjan
AAah, Tim... Not seeing this UN would have surprised me a lot.
Happy to see it again! Best, Amigo. Nicolas
Specifically like that UN.. with its color accents.. Very nice.. And finally..
. the ABPro ( is that the name still ?) asks for attention, with that play of the second hand.. Reminds me to take mine out, after a while, as it doesn't really get enough wrist time, ;) Again, the UN, blur/red rhapsody is cool AND versatile, I expect.. M...
Bike week over here ...
I just realize i haven't taken a descent WS with cars in ages ... and since i've been riding Ducati's all week my theme will be 'Watches + Bikes' :-) Ducati Monster 1100S + LLD .... Errrrr ... don't tell my wife, but a real biker should have at least one ...
No worries !.. One beer won't really have the Ducati roar !.. Valid car- replacement ! ?.
.. otherwise all the Best & HAGWE !! Best, hs
One beer is acceptable ..
Not my bike(s) this week, just some test work for a friend. Lightens his job and i get free rides :-) ... as long as there are no blue lights in the neighborhood ;-) Bim
The truth is, one beer tastes amazing after a ride.
Two beers, though, and you're asking for trouble. Nice bike, Bim. And of course, the Legend Diver is fantastic. Best, CaliforniaJed
Daytona to track the speed of my Mach 5...
Or, as they say in Japan, Mach go-go. Aloha, Bob ...
LOL. Would be amazing if it was powerful enough...
to hit Mach 5 but more likely "just" 5,000 HP. :-) For rider on the trunk, its horsepower comes from a 4130 calibre. Aloha, Bob

Relaxed Geophysic shots! Love both the shots and the watch! :) Best, my friend Blomman
Some quick shots
All cars quite dirty (all driven hard ;-))...Tried to match the watches a bit to the cars. Watch is easy, but what car? (answer at the end) Mini Cooper S, real fun car! And a BMW 3 series And the car New car needed for next year as replacement for the Min...
Cool stuff Dirk

Thx Damjan!
Well my heart also goes out to the 4C... Btw, will be in Hvar beginning July! cheers, Dirk
Love the way you think :)
Still in Zagreb at that time Moving to Dubrovnik at the end of July So you are becoming native of Hvar? ;) Sincerely yours Damjan
Keep the Aston, my friend. And add a 4C if you can find one!
The DB7 made me dream so much... And still nowadays, by the way. Is yours 6 Cyl + Compressor, or the 12 Cyl? Best, Dirk. Nicolas
