Very nice. I guess we'll have to wait 50 years to see if the warranty is legit? Only $50k but only 50 made.

Very cool technology, but ya, it's not exactly a huge want factor due to the other circumstances.

I see this more as a showcase watch. Give it time and I would anticipate a lot of the features will trickle down to other models in the coming years.

Yawn. Even if I had the 50k to blow and 8 inch wrists, it's just not attractive.

They do. There's a catalogue and website full of watches for us 'usual customers'

Totally agree, Mike. I liken it to seeing Formula 1 technology filtering into road cars, whether it being better braking, suspension, power delivery, fuel efficiency, whatever. Some of the innovations of these limited (and very expensive) watches will find their way into the mainstream references over the coming years

If I had $50K melting a hole in my pocket, I'd pick up one of these in a heartbeat even though I only have 7.25" wrists

I've got a 6.5" wrist and, if offered a 700, would get it.
