James Douglas Muir "Jay" Leno born April 28, 1950 is an American stand-up comedian, actor, voice actor, writer, producer and television host. Leno owns approximately 190 vehicles, about 90 of which are motorcycles. He also has a website called "Jay Leno's Garage."

It contains video clips and photos of his automobiles in detail. Among his collection are two Doble steam cars, a sedan and a roadster that was owned by Howard Hughes.

Advantage
Hussle free, accurate, if you like the watch design, it would be nice to have and that is a big watch too!

Disadvantage
FS -- Seiko Sportura TITANIUM Kinetic Chronograph SLQ009 (cal. 9T82 movement)
The Seiko Sportura Titanium Kinetic Chronograph (model SLQ009) is a very rare watch...TITANIUM, professional looking, a chronograph, and a spectacular 38 jewel kinetic movement (the cal. 9T82 is still the top of the line Seiko movement).

But it has the same hiccup of other Kenetic watch as once you had problem on the capacitor, it had to returned to factory to change; it may cost a few hundred to thousand dollars!
This watch was having an estimated price of HKD$15,000 in 2000
I am searching if he has any Rolex...let you know.
