What do you think about my new watch?

[c david]

the watch in the picture is known as the temporate "k" watch.

the driver in the photo was wearing the watch to display the manufactuers "new product". this was to be a tv commercial; first run at the 2nd annual (now dissoved) cd2cw autocross event held in hasselhoffenoff, montego. during the filming, the driver (actor) layed the watch on the dash and during a break mr k showed up to approve the use of z marketing....

it is rumored. mr k saw the watch, tried it on and quickly put it back after without a hint of approval but later agreed the watch was worthy of z greatness. i have a photo of the watch being temporaily worn by mr k and it has only been photo shopped a "little bit". i am willing to sell this piece of history for a set of nib rear hatch vents for my 71. the authenticity of my claim can be proven by another photo " only slightly shopped " of me shaking hands with chris wenzel where all of this information was passed to me through osmosis....

first come first serve,

Do you realize that the clock face design came from a wristwatch? Fact. I know who owns the watch and I went looking for pictures of it, but the site is down at the moment. If I am not mistaken, this is the watch - photo taken in 1969.

Hi Chris (everyone)

Not to dispute Cdavid's claims...<brg>

Actually - the clock face for the JDM Fairlady Z was designed after the watch pictured. According to Kats when he originally posted the picture. The watch was special order made for Mr. Matsuo by Citizen Watch. Mr. Matsuo's watch, as well as the clock in the Fairlady Z, had stop watch features, not included in the Datsun 240-Z's exported.

Nonetheless, the wrist watch that reflects the 240-Z's clock face is a pretty neat idea. Perhaps someone can have the Fairlady Z's Clock with it's stop watch functions - reproduced as a wrist watch as well.

FWIW,

That is awesome man. Courtesy Nissan has a watch with the Datsun emblem on it that I like too.

I had the same idea, and after doing a little digging in the archives found several clear pictures of the rally clock, clearly showing the "Citizen" logo on the lower portion of its face-reducing and printing the face is no issue, and there are several Citizen watches that would do the job when refaced-depending on the chronometer movement.
