Love NASCAR? Try a Dale Earnhardt Pocket Watch!

Dale Earnhardt, a legend of NASCAR history, was born in 1951 in North Carolina. Earnhardt is most recognized for his amazing wins in the Winston Cup series of Nascar races, tying with the all time leader Richard Petty. His aggressive driving style and trademark black car and sunglassese earned him the nickname The Intimidator.

** Pocket Watch Tip ** Pocketwatches come in two forms -- those without covers, and those with covers. Whilst coverless watches are often used in professional settings like in hospitals, the covered type are usually preferred by consumers. This is because the hinged cover provides protection for the clock face as well as aesthetic value. There are pocketwatches in every fine metal imaginable, from bronze to platinum.

Throughout his career until his death in 2001, Earnhardt was a fan favorite . Ironically, he died on the last lap of a race when his car lost control and hit the wall. Fans everywhere mourned his passing, which has gone down in history. It's tragically fitting, that a man who devoted his life to the racetrack died on it, doing what he loved to do. These days, his son Dale Earnhardt Jr. is on the racetrack, carrying on his father's legacy of success. Earnhardt Jr. is as popular as his father was in his heyday, and is one of the best drivers on the track today.

Dale Earnhardt memorabilia, including the Dale Earnhardt pocket watch, are collected by many NASCAR fans. This pocket watch, which is adorned with legendary black, white and red number 3, is a must for any Earnhardt fan. Even if you don't care for NASCAR, you may want one of these watches. Because they're collectibles, they may increase in value as time goes on. You can use these watches for your own time keeping needs, or put them away as treasured collectibles.

** Pocket Watch Tip ** For those who collect pocket watches or Batman merchandise, the fossil Batman pocket watch makes an excellent gift. These pocket watches were offered as a limited edition and are now a little harder to find than they were upon release.

The Internet is an excellent place to find one of these pocket watches. Not only can you find them on online retail stores and specialty NASCAR shops, you can find them on online auction sites such as Ebay. Ebay is a good choice if you're looking for a good value. Many times, you can snatch up valuable items at a fraction of their retail price. Just make sure the seller you're dealing with has a positive history of feedback. This will ensure that you don't get scammed.

Regardless of whether you are a NASCAR fan, an Earnhardt fan or a pocket watch collector, you won't go wrong with a Dale Earnhardt pocket watch. These watches make a great gift for that race fan or watch collector in your life.
