very! my friend who had it (or the other one) is not a watch guy by any means, but it was really cool and fit his personality. i like it when you can associate a watch with a person's character

gmtii ceramic with 2 coloured bezel would be nice, but i would be happier if they released the previous model with maxi dial!

tell me about it, what kind of discount do they give btw? i never talk to any of the salesmen at trafalgar/chopard/tag/patek, they're stuck up and cannot spot a watch guy if he knocked them on their heads

about fcars, i'm sorry but a CS or Scud is about as USELESS in kuwait as a manual if you are really going to DRIVE it. i spent an hour in traffic today getting from shwaikh to shaab, literally an hour, and if i were in a manual SLR even i still would've hated my life! so why even bother. i don't believe in garage queens and i subscribe to treating all cars as just that: cars, with 4 wheels that roll. that said, a 458 is way too much for our roads, let alone a stradale version! that said, 430 spider is awesome for kuwait esp with your garage you don't have to worry about the soft top. for the right price i'd urge you to do it. you owe it to yourself to be drive an fcar.
i'm gona call you again when i get the 360 back, and if i read or hear one more comment knocking it down i'm gonna break your RR's front window

You guys know me too well! I wouldn't get that, I guess I was trying to bring up what we are discussing. That all gold is a little flashy, but in little amounts it's ok. That was all I could think of with a little gold.

The 360 is crap. I can outrun you in the RR Ghost and let the chauffer drive it whilst sitting at the back reading the financial times and look back at you and laugh hysterically as you eat my dust. V12 Bi turbo.

360 is far from crap and your RR wouldn't last 1 mile behind me most of it straight.

The 360 sounds better than the Ghost and friends don't let friend wear two-tone watches.
