I like Breitling (have 3 pieces myself), but a sportwatch with diamonds all over isn't really for me I am affraid.

no its a friend of mines, he is looking to get rid so i said i would take some shots for him, yeah i agree about diamonds on a sports watch. can't believe he paid £60.000 for it and he has not once even wore it

That's even worse! not wearing the watch you buy !!! It's a tool (in this specific case I am not very sure if it is a tool

). So in my opinion a watch need to be on a wrist, not in the box!
MMMMMMMMMMMMM that 60.000 would buy us both a nice watch mate !
Still glad you posted it and shared it here with us

MitchSteel · 10 January 2014, 10:07 PM

Whoa!!!Now, that is a watch I'd love to get stuck on a deserted island with

Great concept. Can be spotted from miles away, in case the transmitter fails.
Is it true that you have to sign a declaration some sort that you may have to cover the cost of a rescue, if you happen to activate the beacon without an emergency... or something like that?

im not sure, but i know it has to be registered who ever owns it, and if you pull the seal on the antenna its something like another 10k to put back to original state. so you can imagine how careful i was with it. also can't believe it has 3 batteries and there is only one guy that can service it throughout the eu

Lgear080 · 11 January 2014, 12:14 AM

I can't imagine resale is higher than $20k usd... Ughhhhhh
Bad expenditure

i agree wasnt the best investment, funny enough he has been offered £25k from a collector of the limited pieces.

He should take this and run...

AK797 · 11 January 2014, 04:30 AM

Even a Kardashian wouldn't buy that, altho I hear Kanye has three of them.

Lgear080 · 11 January 2014, 04:35 AM

I'd take the money and run too. The resale on beetling, let alone a Christmas tree special - is awful.

Vincent65 · 11 January 2014, 05:35 AM

WTF!? Grotesque monstrosity! Just wrong on so many levels. Sorry!

sakolander · 11 January 2014, 12:02 PM

Agree with above.....not my type of watch....sell and buy a few Rolex's!!!!

tesmith2112 · 11 January 2014, 12:28 PM

ericf4 · 11 January 2014, 02:35 PM

Who needs the distress radio when you can signal from the mountain top with the diamonds... lol..

VICI · 12 January 2014, 11:12 AM

holy cow! awesome!

Stresst · 13 January 2014, 01:40 PM

60K??? WTF? For 60K I would buy a Yachmaster 2 and a Skydweller!

DCgator · 13 January 2014, 02:26 PM

Uhm nice but a bit too loud to wear imho....

MP5 · 13 January 2014, 02:40 PM

In all honesty a diamond or 50 could come in handy for barter or slowly cutting your way through some rusty cell bars or some other things I cannot fathom at the moment.

Oh and tell him to take that 25K Pounds and thank the gentleman profusely for buying it.

craigb · 13 January 2014, 09:47 PM

i do agree with all the comments. its one of them sort of watches where you either love it or hate it. wonder if any experts can chime in on this, this watch is made to a limited number of 25. but I've also seen the same watch with a limited number of 10, strange

69mach351 · 14 January 2014, 06:54 AM

My jaw is on the floor. Wasn't expecting that. Wow.

Jgs2451 · 20 January 2014, 04:37 AM

Bling bling...not for me!

dysondiver · 20 January 2014, 05:05 AM

id like to see his yacht ,,, if thats the just in case watch ,,, a gucci liferaft may be a better buy ,,,
im not believing its for aeronautical use , i dont think anything short of a herc could get that off the ground.

Hobart · 21 January 2014, 07:37 PM

Never saw anything like that!

GB-man · 23 January 2014, 12:21 AM

vitalsignsrn · 24 January 2014, 05:43 AM

Um...I have no words. And I love diamonds...just not in that kind of presentation. :-(

Watchmaster17 · 25 January 2014, 10:35 AM
