Cool, I tried hard to figure out this watches, but failed. Interesting, but Mark's watches from DS times and up to early 2000s looks way less expensive. As I know he started to wear these gold ones not so long ago.

There was question on Guy's forum about one of these watches, somebody identified it to be an Omega Speedmaster (and Guy seemed to confirm it).

I recall MK wearing a similar watch even back in the OES tour time, I think he got one from Alain de Cadenet. Isn't he also sporting an Omega  on the covers of "MK guitar styles"?

Mark definitely has good taste ! And he can afford it.

It's very classy.   ;)

I wonder where Mark have no good taste? :)

Great cars, great guitars, great songs, great watches. His clothing in mid-80s was a mess though, but it was not his fault :lol

If I had his money, and I don't, I would be buying a Jaeger LeCoultre, Patek Philippe, Breguet, Audemars Piguet or something.  Modern Omega's are just overpriced Swatch watches.  Sad because their 562 calibre from the 60s is regarded as one of the finest automatics ever.
