It's a chronograph, but I recall it only has 2 inner movement display circles, the band is not flat and plain as the Ti5, but it does have some markings on it, which differentiate it. This is just from memory. DC, There are differences, I will get out my photo equipment and show you.

What makes you say that the McLaren Ti Kirium isn't as nice as the standard model...is it the same watch with a McLaren logo, or are there other differences? If you missed out on a Monza Calibre 36 a few years ago, you might be able to buy one again soon.. Sounds like you have a great collection.

DC...I also have the Ti McLaren set with the piece of Titanium and a bearing of some sort...the watch is very similar to the Ti5 but not as nice. I believe there were 1200 sets of these. I have the 4 Link Senna's, ahhhh......too many to take care of, thinking of thinning out my collection. One watch which I never picked up was a Calibre 36 movement watch....I almost waited for the Monza edition of it, but the dealer told me it wasn't going to be made. It was. I bought the regular Monza and did not cherish it. I'm sure there are some new Link Calibre 36's out there still.

I haven't heard that the drivers/ team were given these box sets- but it makes sense that they would have been given the watches.

I have a very low number set and was told that the first few were given to the drivers etc? any truth in that rumor?

Personally, I far preferred Hakkinen as a driver, but really like Coulthard's work as a commentator and am looking forward to him commentating more on BBC this year. The Ti5 is a cool watch- sounds like you have a nice collection David Howard, let me put your mind at ease- I share Coulthard’s initials and first name, but that’s the only connection- anyhow, I don’t think your comment was disrespectful in any way.

I have always respected and admired David Coulthard for his talent, spirit, personality, honor, etc. I did not mean in any way to demean the prestige of one of my favorite drivers in Formula One of all time. I have seen the Autavia box set, the one I was looking for when it was new. But it's a tad pricey for me now. I sold my Mercedes SLR metal band on EBay a while back as I did not desire to wear a leather banded watch, as the next years release came with metal or rubber, however the bands were not interchangeable with my 1st release SLR. I may go back and get one of the 2nd generation ones, and the 2nd band so that I could switch from metal to rubber. Have picked up a Panerai 327 Chrono Daylight Titanium metal band. The titanium on the watch is nowhere near the durability of my Tag Ti5, as it will pick up fine line marks from rubbing it against I don't know what, maybe jeans that were not washed with enough fabric softener. I wish a rubber band would be an option for this watch, however, my only option is probably the leather band that comes on the same watch, which Panerai calls the 326. To David:
