I do like that one! Even the little BMW logo is not too bad and more subtle than the other anni from Ball.

I also like the way that they have mimicked the orange of the dash in the tritium. (Well I assume they are still orange, my old M5 dash was, but that was a few years ago)

That would be a lovely watch without the BMW logo!

That's quite nice, but I really don't see anything about it that is BMWish aprt from the optional logo.

On the other hand I'm not at all sure that I'd want to see a watch designed by BMW's ex designer Chris Bangle - some of his work was awful!
There's always time for one more.

No BMW logo on the front but I do like the way that back looks and would be fine with that.

Nice enough, but would have to be without the logo for me.

Now if Ball did a Winged Arrow logo I might reconsider.

I like it, but the BMW references that come with it (regardless of whether you opt to remove the face logo) put me off. Not so much because they detract from the watch as they are nice touches if you are a BMW owner. But i don't own a BMW so it would feel a bit false wearing one. A bit like those peeps who wear Ferrari baseball caps all the time.

It is, but it still has BMW inscribed on the back and crown
