Male jewellery, what an oxymoron!

I am with Rocky- a classy watch is very acceptable for a man. I would sooner wear a Rolex than a diamond ear ring.

Would love a diamond studded MX5 ear stud it would take the attention away from a butt ugly red with virgin white cow MX5.

Just how long till the white cow look yellow then baby poo brown? about 6 months I would say

just shows how backward I am - I should have said diamond stud like Lewis Hamiilton- I must have been thinking of Dame Edna.

I am with you Mr M, and unlike cars quality watches do not depreciate.
Back on topic, The MX-5's history is littered with 'Limited Editions', the LE NA's, 10 AE, the 'Camel', Cerion Silver NB8B and more recently the Dolphin Grey NC2 with the pale interior to mention but a few. What a shame that Mazda did not paint this one in Classic Red (not True Red), it would have been a fitting tribute to the past.

And the 2005 NC1 in Galaxy Grey/Velocity Red/Black Mica...followed by the NC2 in 2007 with Radiant Ebony/Stormy Blue etc etc etc.

More Limited Editions than you can poke a stick at...that said this new one is a looker! 8) :beer:

I'd be interested! :mrgreen:

Thanks Craig,
I agree, it looks the goods.
Looking at the developing list prompts the question what was/is desirable? (Thread elsewhere)

Beauty in the eye of the beholder.

No NC does it for me.

Two of the best looking objects for me were my 1972 Rolex Oyster and my Silver SE. Probs the watch won on looks because it was just soooo understated. Sold it in the blink of an eye after owning it for many years when I needed more funds for BARMY. Go figure.
UK since return: Standard NC2 (horrid), C200K, ND2 BBR, NC2 BBR200 (loved it), NC BBR300 (better than BARMY), V-Special, turbo NB8B (my 84th car)

Ahhh well that's the interesting question isn't it!

When you have a car that appeals to the 17-almost dead age bracket, your never going to please everyone eh! :lol: :roll:

That's why the aftermarket side is so popular!

Saw the same red coloured one on the back of a truck. Red with black roof, black wheels. Nice.
