JJ, your reply made me actually laugh out loud! You're worth a million bucks my fiend! Heart on the sleeve

Having said that, many of those monstrosities are, in horological terms, light years away from what Rolex produces. But to be honest, I can't get used to them as well. Too alien

Well JJ, As I undersand it they put this on your credit card!!


Dewitt Incognito 2008 is a unique watchmaking concept developed with contributing of DeWitt and Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Watch received strong bidding from the beginning (100,000 Euros) and was sold for 400,000 Euro or $630,000. From technical point of view the watch is just amazing justifying the price. It comes with a flying tourbillon regulator, which keeps the watch accurate. There are also five barrels and has a power reserve that lasts up to three weeks. The structure of the watch is made from a lithium-aluminium alloy, and is framed by a spectacular exterior crafted from equally unique materials introducing the completely innovative design of the model.

You check your cellphone

Actually, if you have any of these watches, your cellphone is probably at least a Vertu, so you can just call the concierge and ask him/her to remind you of which city you are in, what time it is, and please, oh, please, send you a snack of Cristal champagne and beluga caviar.

But I'm not MOST people. I like to call a spade a spade. If those watches look like CRAP, then that's exactly what I call them!!!
