2022 911 GT3 Touring 6-Speed

Positioned as the poised gentleman’s version of the track-focused GT3, the Touring package adds subtlety, or to put it another way, removes the racy looking rear wing of it’s sister model. While the removal of the rear wing does take away a bit of downforce, it’s probably not something you’d notice on the back country roads outside of town. Which is exactly where I”d take this car.

Finished in Paint to Sample Albert Blue over a Brown Leather interior with Patterned Blue inserts, this 1,000-mile 2022 911 GT3 Touring 6-speed features over $45,000 in options, $28k of which come from the PTS and Exclusive Manufaktur leather interior alone. Other notable options include Full Buckets, Deviated Stitching, Front-Axle Lift, and Wheels painted in Satin Neodyme.

As you’d expect, the car is in perfect condition as evidenced by the many photos in the gallery. The custom Blue inserts and shift boot can be replaced easily as the original parts are included with the sale and the car has received its one-year, 10k service at Porsche Marin.

Of all the 992 GT3 variants, the 6-speed Touring has held value the best. But they too have been declining over the last twelve months going from an average price of $290,000 last April, to an average of just over $270,000 today. That average, though, is propped up by a number of above market sales achieved at catalog auctions in Monterey, New York, and Scottsdale. With those removed, the average looks to be lower.

Our Spotlight car sold at a final bid of $282,001. Higher than the $270k average and much higher if you removed those previously mentioned catalog sales. PTS and Exclusive Leather definitely played a part, as this is one of the best specs I’ve seen. And it looks like the bidders agreed. Well sold.

Two things that go hand-in-hand? Porsche and watches. Every Porschephile I know is also a watch nerd. And like Porsches, watches can be enjoyed at all price points. 

On a recent visit to Pittsburgh, SML subscriber Allan S. tossed me his new Sheffield Allsport watch. Sheffield Watches is a reboot of an old dive watch brand founded in New York in the ‘50s that was synonymous with producing low-price point, quality watches. The weight of the stainless steel case felt robust, as did the feel of the screw-down crown and unidirectional bezel—definitely quality. As for price point, the Sheffield diver punches way above its weight at $108. You can’t buy more watch for the money, period. 

And that’s what Sheffield Watches’ founder Jay Turkbas set out to accomplish, reviving the brand's ethos and creating a watch synonymous with quality, technology, and affordability. Taking inspiration from his original Sheffield watch from the ’70s and his 30-plus years of experience in product development and innovation, he knocked it out of the park with a durable watch capable of exploring the depths of the ocean one day and cars & coffee the next. And all at a price point equivalent to the $13 the watch originally cost back then. Take a moment to give Sheffield Watches a look. I know you’ll be just as impressed as I am.
