That question total blows my mind

maybe its on you tube.
I'm guessing AD wears some kind of vintage Rolex or Heuer.

If deCadenet's wearing it, you'll never see it on my wrist.

The absolute best part of Speed's coverage of Barrett Jackson Scottsdale this year was that they got rid of him.

It's a long shot, but I found the website for the director of VBD and sent him an email to see if he recalls that watch

My vote is that AD is a Breitling guy...

He can be annoying...

That watch is an Omega Speedmaster Professional. I bought it on my way to my first Continental race at the Nurburgring. It's identical to the watches used by the Apollo crews including the moon walkers. I've had it on my wrist for virtually the whole time I've had it. If you look for one, make sure it has the 321 movement not the later (cheaper) version with the moon shot seal on the back. Glad you like the shows. Not much to do with me really. Tony is the magician. Alain de Cadenet.
