Icon20 Tom Bolt and the Sultan of Omans Rolex

Thought you guys might be interested in this one...know you can't access any links from over here relating to tv. It's from a show called Four Rooms here in the UK - the concept will become clear as you watch it.
As before, filmed it direct from the telly and stuck it on youtube.
Excuse the quality but it was filmed on my mobile...Enjoy

I watched this yesterday, thought this was quite a good publicity stun for Mr Tom Bolt. Did he really think any of those dealers would pay retail for that kind of piece? I think not.

Was that the same watch he had on that Luxury Channel programme Time Machines?

Yes, it was. I guess it's a slow mover.

Awesome, Thanks for sharing. This Omani Daytona is a grail!!! I'm thinking in about 20 + years (considering the cost of inflation), Maybe I'll be able to buy one

(I posted this the other day)

If I had this watch, I would feel just like this:

I thought the video was very enjoyable. Who was the guy in the last room with the scarf? Does anybody know?
