I have never stated the 5 is a "better" car than the 4. I have owned and praised both cars. Different cars, different personalities. The attributes of the 5 are much more appealing to me than those of the 4. A lot is made about of the lighter, more nimble 4. What is the weight difference here...

Regardless if you are a 4 guy or a 5 guy, there is no denying that the 5 is more exhilarating. It has a level of "bombastic" (to quote C&D or whichever mag penned that memorable title) from the supercharged V8 that the 4 does not have. And that is no knock on the 4, just a testament to the...

That is all that matters!! Inexpensive, expensive, unknown brand, known brand - wear what you like. The entire point of this post is simply for Blackwing owners who are also passionate about wearing a watch. That is really it.

I owned both, and vastly prefer the 5. The are very different machines. If budget does not matter, choose the one that fits your style. Mine is the brutality of the 5, and I just can't get enough of it. The ultimate smile machine. But again, the 4 suits other people's interest more. Even...

If I am being honest, I prefer the individual lights on the buttons. No doubt the temperature readout on the new one is clearer.

Years ago, I was invited to watch the UN sponsored Team Artemis boat race in Bermuda. Very cool experience. The Marine Grand Deck had just been released. I don't recall the MSRP without going back and checking. Maybe 250k. For the affluent nautical fellow, this is a sick piece. Real wood...

Bit of a struggle for Tedward. Not just driving, but knowing everything he is trying to talk about.

Oh. You were talking about flipping. Yah, Rolex is a great brand for that. I call myself an enthusiast, not a collector. I don't buy watches to try and make money. I have bought and sold as my tastes evolved. Win some, lose some. But I buy what I love, and I guess that is why Rolex has no...

Bummer. How far past were you? I know others who went after 12 months, but I imagine there are limits. The class is awesome, I hope you get there one way or another. The guy I sold my 2022 to, he paid to go maybe 6 weeks ago and felt is was well worth the expense.

I'll be honest with you, I know many high end collectors that do not own a Rolex. And the ones that do have much older models, not the newer ones. They make a decent watch, especially considering they pump out around 1 million pieces per year. So many people want them just because the name is...

I don't have one, and never will. I guess I am not a serious collector. That is A-OK with me.

That car is so BEAUTIFUL!! PS, am I the only guy with a set of OEM black lugs sitting on the shelf?? I thought you bought some too. I have been meaning to throw mine on. I'll get to it one of these days.

I LOVE looking at other more exotic cars. My son and I will walk some of the local lots with Ferraris, Astons, McLarens, etc. I admire how incredible the styling is on so many of them. Certainly I would be pleased to add a nice 2 door coupe long term. But as drool worthy as those other cars...

That's what it is all about for me. For others it might be a Z06, or a BMW, or whatever. Regardless of the selection, I find it rewarding to have one that makes you forget about the others.

Blackwing is not for everyone. You gotta want a sedan. A handful of members bought one and then traded for a vette. Some then dumped the vette. But there are others here who bought a CT5-V Blackwing in manual and have exhaled knowing we have a forever car. That's a great feeling.

How do you think I paid for the car?? ;) I have owned some spectacular pieces over many years. But as I age, I am minimizing material possessions. I have some inexpensive watches that I enjoy just as much as pricier ones. That is what the passion is all about. I am not a brand guy, and am...

I was torn between the white Speedy and the FOIS. My dealer had one of each and told me to choose. The dial on the FOIS is spectacular, but I have other pieces that are similar. Snow White was a good departure for me, and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. Can't go wrong either way.

For a regular V, you can just count in your head :ROFLMAO: For a Blackwing... this is more my style.

For the Omega fans.
