Just wish the q timex had sapphire crystal. The acrylic glass scares me

Elise is more for sweeter road use , Exige is more hard edge and a proper track tool.

Spoke very well

Baffled moroso oil pan. Full aluminum radiator. Original Lotus super charger kit. 2bular exhaust. Toe link upgrade kit. Bigger front braking discs.

Nice review. Yes the 996 is relatively cheap compared to other models, but any car that is 25 years old is going to require some maintenance. A pre purchase inspection is a must before buying one of these.

Porsche the bored dentist car

cute car, but needs bucket seats

Whats your wrist size?

Thanks for another really thoughtful video. I've been looking at several variations of the pepsi. This timex is certainly nice looking. I also looked at the seiko and the Tudor. Again all really nice watches with a similar look. But today I bought the rolex... Just because my other rolex are so reliable and great in so many ways. I don't think anyone will notice it but somehow these classic rolex designs just make me enjoy the day a little bit more.

Great review. I agree with you completely that it's a really perfect classic. I've stopped buying watches as I only have one wrist. Enjoying various rolex and omega and even one gold patek. But today... Lol... I found one of these in really excellent condition and for a great price. Placed a deposit on it and will purchase it tomorrow. Your video makes me feel even more excited. Thank you.

Good video, both are great watches at their price range

1:53: My money is not safe with my Exige; it's gone. I will never sell it

I think a baffled oil pan and racing radiator should be on the list.

Elise 220 owner. My mod is just driving it, it’s a mind set mod. It’s a car I just go for a drive with no reason, way too often. Enjoy Pal.

Bro hennessy venom gt looks the same how do u tell the difference??

What is the Heuer reference?

I have Air King from 1973 and it is the best watch ever made , to my simple taste. 😊

I liked these cars back then but im too poor for this shit. Thats why i got a toyota mr2 mk3

Whats the reference number?

I owned alot of expensive watches with different sizes and i can say that the rolex air king 34 mm or rolex 114200 is the best watch in the world.

What about a Lotus Exige S V6.

I also have this Air King 14000 Black dial. Purchased in Hong Kong in 1998. My most worn piece in my small collection. Agree 100% with your comments on this great piece.

I’ve been spoiled driving an s2000 CR and it’s the longest period of car ownership I’ve ever had. I have yet to find anything remotely close to a pure and raw driving experience the CR offers, but the KZfaq algo must have picked up on it and keeps recommending me boxster spider videos. This seems like the perfect car and I’m in love. Sounds like a mid-engine version of my CR with nearly 100hp more, I am SOLD!

Great video, but I have to disagree about servicing an inexpensive mechanical movement. If the watch is a keepsake and you want to replace the movement, even if it costs the price of the watch, it is still worth it. Compare what it costs to service a luxury watch like Rolex or Patek, so the $200 to replace a movement is well worth it. Some places will even charge less.

How did you get the Timex Q GMT at such a low price?

absolutely love the 987 spyder. one of my dream cars for sure

Congratulations. One of the best Oysters out there in terms of simplicity, harmony, balance and elegance. And, on top, nothing beats a seconds micro scale.👍

Thanks! Great video 💯

Guards red looks really great on the 996, exactly what i'd look for if i ever end up getting one once they're old enough to qualify for old timer plates/tax rates (at the normal rate, a 996 is taxed 2500 euro annually here due to engine size and emissions + 3500 euro registration fee. 30+ year old cars pay 120 euro annually and registration is 53 euro), i could afford the normal tax rates but as someone who puts like 4000 miles on the odometer in a year i couldn't possibly letting the government fleece me out of THAT much money...

111R Sports Racer owner here…best mods so far are Nitron NTR40 Suspension and B&G quick release steering wheel with Momo steering wheel 👍

What's your wrist size?

The Tudor Date+Day is a pretty great watch. I mean, you’re right - the ETA serviceability and the risk free wearing experience are just a blessing. I find the full day so useful because it’s so legible at a glance, same with cyclops date. I have the full silver, smooth bezel 76200 and it so stealthy, clean and pretty to look at. Nice work on the video too! Thanks, I enjoyed it.

Great comparison! Ive been eyeing the Timex for awhile! Ive been loving so many of Timex's releases the past few years. Cheers!

More like 18-22k for the Pepsi Rolex. Unless you’re a top top client spending big bucks consistently you’ll never get one for $13k

The Air King is an underrated watch in the Rolex catalog. Nice one!

bothers me how the seconds hand on the timex doesnt match up to the numbers

I'll take a Pepsi Casio duro, please 😁

whats the price difference between them?

Which would you keep between your spyder and Elise? 🙏

Nice video. Great watch

* Elise for the road - ideally S1, or 220+ * Exige 350+ for the track.

I am buying one soon. Any engine or transmission issues?

Not the mic Eli!

I love my 981 spyder…got it for the power/sound/looks…and many other things

Hi, Eli.

Miatas are awesome cars. Similar to the 944 and BRZ as well with power levels and driver training.

Bonjour, j'ai le bonheur de possédé un exemplaire de cette fantastique auto en boite manuelle depuis 5 ans maintenant. Sur la route c'est un kart d'une précision diabolique et le son du 3,4 est envoutant. Ce n'est pas ma première PORSCHE et celle-ci je ne m'en séparerai jamais, un châssis un moteur juste ce qu'il faut pour prendre son pied...la mise en place ou la dépose de la capote font parti du charme de ce bijou, elle se mérite quelque part...c'est ce que j'ai répondu à un possesseur de 997 cabriolet après qu'il m'ai dit ne pas avoir acheté ce modèle à cause de la capote...

I love all of the Porsche spyders. The 718 is the most powerfull and better looking, the 981 sounds the best, but the 987 is the purest car to drive. Simple Elegant looking drivers car with no gimmicks but with enough power to exploit and have real fun with. As for the roof...its a Spyder not a convertible, and the car looks superb with roof on or off. One of the Best Porsche products in the modern era imo.

It is a beautiful car, no question. I was going to buy one and found online a car in virtually new condition driven less than 14,000 km. It was expensive (€79,000) but I was ready to buy and flew from Marseille to Frankfurt to check it out. During the test drive it started to rain heavily and in areas where the roof met the body and windows it leaked. After 10 minutes I had enough and returned to the dealer not soaking but wet. I ended up buying a Carrera S, it’s a totally different car but in my opinion a more useable second car. To those that own and love 987 Spyders I salute you for your commitment to owning and living with a “pure” sports car

Beautiful car, really pops in that colour. I just picked up a 2004 111S with 37k miles. It's redefining my understanding of cornering speeds :-). Just need the dry spring/summer weather to arrive!
