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 ** The Bulova company, established since circa 1875, has been providing consumers with quality timepieces for generations. Headquartered in New York, the Bulova company is owned by Loews today. In the early days, a young immigrant named Joseph Bulova opened a tiny jewelry store. Bulova achieved massive success, and even had the first multi million dollar advertising campaign in the 1930's.

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 ** Steamboat Willie is the title of a cartoon released in 1928 that featured Mickey Mouse. This may not have been the first cartoon Mickey Mouse had ever been shown in, but it was the first cartoon that made Mickey a celebrity of sorts. This cartoon continues to be thought of as the first to feature post-produced music, effects and dialogue.

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.
