I know it's a waste, but there are only 5000 copies of this phudwacker with an STI badge!

Oh well I guess I'll buy myself an STI watch at least a decade from now (when I actually have a WRX STI to drive myself).

I needed someone to knock some sense into me, thanks.

yeah you are better off spending it on something that does more than tell time. get some parts for your car. It's not that bad in reality I just don't think you should waste your moneys, get something more fun!

Surprised they collaborated with Orient instead of a larger manufacturer (like Citizen or Seiko) or a trendier manufacturer (Casio).

It's not a bad looking watch but it really isn't my style at all. Plus I don't really want my watch saying STi on it lol

I'm sure you'd be able to find a much better (and more 'limited', for whatever thats worth) watch for what they'll charge....

You shouldn't be. Orient is a good company. They also sponsor the Nurburgring car. It makes total sense.

I have one, but not this edition. Might actually be up for selling it. I never wear it.


Ooph... the new one is quartz? Lame.

do it! I got the 2010 Nurburgring automatic (metal band) - wearing it right now, least regretted purchase of a lifetime honestly, I like a good watch, good weight, automatic movement, limited and coordinated w/my car - i'm planning on the '11 series if they come out with an automatic (quartz is all they have slated for now, but my dealer says there may be an auto in the pipes..)

What's the difference between quartz and automatic?

As soon as they're available I'm going to be putting my order in for one.
