Overpay for a celebration dial is a personal one, some people may find the uniqueness and exclusive of a celebration dial worth the extra cost, while others may prefer to invest that money in other aspects of their collection, it really depend on how much you value the dial.

For some, $10k is like 0.00001 second of the economy. For Gates or Musk, that's maybe just a few seconds of their life.

I agree. I always tell people I’m not on social media, and by that I mean FB, Instagram, TikTok, etc. With the exception of LinkedIn, I’m not on any of those. I always considered highly focused, anonymous forums like TRF as being different. I suppose some folks put everything under the same umbrella, and that’s fine, but even if you do, they are still very different animals. I actually remember when Facebook came out. Some people on hockey and car forums kept referring to it as social media as if it was completely different, and it was. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Likewise would not pay 10p for one if I wanted a watch with a dial like that would be looking at the plastic Swatch range.

Paying $10k over for any watch is a great way in ensuring the seller's "celebration" and your depression once you've realized what's been done.

I put it in a category of seasonal fashion jewelry that will not age well. And its purpose isn’t to age well either. So if you get it, get it asap.

I have been wearing mine the last few days and my mom liked it enough to look it up, she then said, “I’ll never have a nice watch.” after seeing the price. Sad!

No. Colored circles on a dial do nothing for me. Don’t see where all the hype on this watch comes from.

I wouldn't wear it if it was given to me for free, personally I think that dial is a joke. I thought it was a photoshop when I first saw that... thing.
