A $8k watch doesn't do anything except look good on a wrist. It offers no performance advantage. Not to say it's not good, it's just not a practical choice.
I've bought Big brake kits and Rolex watches. I always got my money back on the Rolex.... Even the ones I wore for 10 years on a daily basis. What else can you use everyday and get 100% of your money back in 10 years? What's not practical about that? BBK is just bling for the causal track day enthusiast anyway. You are better off getting the Rolex, putting track pads on your stock brakes and putting in a high temp fluid and keeping it fresh.
