    Can someone please explain to me the wearing of multiple bracelets of varying types next to one's watch? Because I just don't get it.

    Fashion. Style. Aesthetics. Sometimes a cause, sometimes a statement or mission. Mostly...style or personal expression. Or not. What do I know? I think he alludes to the fact they may be tokens of the trip. Again what do I know? 20171219_125701.jpg 20171210_180540.jpg

    Hey, what's going on here? Those aren't the same watch pairs!! Your photos just made me feel like I'm in a stationary train and another one's just pulled out on the next platform! :eek:

    It a disease of well to do European men esp British. It’s very well advanced in him. It seems to have progressed with his belt line.

    I think the number of bracelets is just an expression of his gay side and the fast cars and macho talk is just a cover up.

    Can't stand Clarkson, I think he's a prat. And I certainly wish he didn't wear Omega.

    I am not 100 % sure if this is correct but I believe the bracelet thing started as a way to camouflage the watches when they were presenting on tv. Something about not advertising brands.

    When Top Gear was on the BBC Clarkson often appeared wearing a Seamaster, wrist near the camera during the test-drive shoots. I think he was given the watch as a freebie when they were filming Casino Royale at the aerodrome used by the Top Gear crew but I could be wrong. To be honest Omegas can often be seen on the BBC on cookery shows, Antiques Roadshow (even though they aren't technically antiques) and so on, so I wonder if there isn't some little deal in place.

    Clarkson has been an omega man for years and years and indeed some of his columns talk about them. I don’t think there is a deal in place as Leblanc can always be seen flashing his hulk and the hairy bikers have combos of hulks, Breitling et al.

    Might be wrong, but I suspect there is no deal between them....

    Well I guess Casino Royale did come out 'years and years' ago... depressing thought! As for le Blanc and Hairy Bikers, I wouldn't know... I gave up on Top Gear long ago and have never watched other two.

    From his Sunday Times article on brand loyalty, from March 22 2009 (no link as it is a paid site).

    Mostly, though, I cannot wear any of these watches because I am an Omega man. I have worn a Seamaster for years, not because James Bond has one and not because Neil Armstrong wore something by the same maker on the moon but because on the day I went away to school my parents gave me a Genève Dynamic.”

    Clarkson is god.....his reply to the recent accusations of homophobia were spot on.....I like the other two but he truly makes the show worth watching.
