b16a2 Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I was watching the first Top Gear show today (I taped it - the one showing Richard Hammonds crash) Did anyone who watched this notice Jeremy's Omega Planet Ocean? It was on a rubber strap, looked very nice!! He also wore it to do roadworks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I think you might be right - it's hard to be completely sure. I downloaded this episode last week, it's definitely a black rubber strap and what looks like an Omega buckle. You get quite a good look when he's doing the roadworks, about 14 minutes into it. Of course, I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad thing, but I guess it's always good to see someone in his income bracket finally able to afford a watch like mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWR Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 clarkson has had several breitlings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpops Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 It was the first thing i noticed. There was a good close up in the show which removed any doubt. In the last series, i'm not sure what he had, and before that, he always wore a bond Seamaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavor flav Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 i want his job! and he obviously gets paid well to pound the snot of these cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Aye, not bad work if you can get it! I don't know if this was mentioned in the other thread, but I came across an article he wrote for the Sunday Times on buying a new watch - mentions IWC's and the Bell & Ross: Jeremy Clarkson article on buying a new watch Maybe James May could do with being introduced to some of our IWC reps.... (or maybe he already has! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have it on good authority that The Stig is a member of RWG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have it on good authority that The Stig is a member of RWG. Some say that he can spot the rehaut on a replica Sub from 50 metres ... and that his crown guards are the best outside Rolex. But all we know is he's called the_stig.

Pugwash Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Oh, did anyone catch Hamster's TAG on Sunday? I'll post a screen cap later, but it was a Monza for those too impatient to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, actually. Isn't it handy that most of the cars they review are RHD, putting the camera in the perfect location to catch the watch wrist!

jonthebhoy Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Actually one of the best episodes was when they roadied for 'The Who' and tested out 3 vans as an excuse. (Clarkson being a major Who fan of course) That was a laugh. JTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
