America's Cup - Pick of the Best Yachtie Models

[docblackrock]

Ok I know it was a few month's back but with the event becoming even more of a sponsors wet dream, we saw most crews team up with their sponsors special edition timepiece...

Got me thinking, of all these, which is YOUR favourite (and hence would love to see repped)???

My choice is the last one, by a country mile....

First up then, and winners of this year's event, we have the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Alinghi Team Chronograph...no doubt the ROO nerds out there will cream themselves over this so I'll reserve judgement other than to say, "yikes"

Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre S, Team CHINA edition - nice understated design, interesting movt, a little small on the wrist and crew lacks glamour

Girard-Perregaux BMW Oracle Chronograph - not my cup o' tea

Omega Seamaster NZL-32 Chronograph (Emirates Team New Zealand) - will appeal to some (i.e. the old farts ) but a bit dressy and old-skool for its purpose, even on rubber

Not a direct sponsor of a team, but this well-documented monstrosity included here as it's aimed at a similar demographic (albeit more the typical landlubbing, pink gin brigade Rolex seems to covet these days )

And finally, my favourite as mentioned up top, the gorgeous Hublot Big Bang Prada Luna Rossa - more than 8 models of HBB repped and the Monaco YC is the best they could do???

GP actually developed a series for the BMW/Oracle team - the USA 87 isn't my favorite either (though the std. edition R&D 01 is awesome).

My fav is the USA 71

Carbon Fiber Glory

On the wrist

With PAM177

Very nice lume
