This 2006 Planet Ocean 1st Gen Chronograph was a university graduation gift from my parents over a decade ago, and I only wear it on special occasions. I don’t use a winder and just leave it in my watch case upright.

I recently visited Spain with my girlfriend, and for the Basque Country part of our trip we decided to get a rental car for flexibility. The representative at Sixt offered to upgrade us to a BMW or Mercedes for free since I picked the full insurance, but I was insistent on the Skoda since we don’t have these in California and I wanted to try one. Very high build quality and excellent ride comfort! I’m happy they didn’t go to the crappy haptic feedback steering wheel buttons like the VW’s. I’d love one of these in the US since the size was perfect for 2 people, and the 1.5 TSI was more than enough power for a commuter car. Very impressed with my first time driving a Skoda!

I’ve had a 2016 F30 328i M-sport for the last 8 years that’s been my daily, and I’ve loved it but been wanting something a little more modern. I had an order for a loaded 2026 M340i in this exact spec- Alpine White on Tacora Red with DAPP, Adaptive Suspension, Parking Assistance, staggered black/silver wheels, HUD, HK. This 2023 came up at my local dealer as a CPO and I was able to get it for $51k with 17k miles, not bad to save some serious coin!
