Wow! That seems to be a serious premium for that watch, but given how the market has gone crazy why not!

Good for her! Always fun to get a glimpse of her wrist and try to identify what watch she’s wearing. I get just as excited for the acquisitions of a high income WIS as I do for a more moderate income WIS. All good!

I love that she is such a watch aficionado - especially since there are so few women in our “sport.”

I don’t really watch her show, but if I happen to come upon it I am always checking out her wrist.

I wouldn't have paid a penny more than $725,000.00.

I also say good for her, a real credit to watch enthusiasts. An unofficial ambassador of Rolex.

If Rolex was smart (which they certainly are) they would capitalize on this, I’m surprised they haven’t already. She has a HUGE Rolex collection, one the firs to wear the 126710 BLRO if I recall.

They just did without spending a penny.

Why pay when it’s free?

Good point! Maybe her deal is on the “back end” and she gets any model when she wants it...I believe she has a rainbow daytona...

She has no deal except with Cover Girl.

Plus she’s rich. She does get any model she wants. Including Portia.

She’d get my respect if she spent those figures on philanthropy instead of personal effects.

She has always seemed pretty cool. Would love to check out her collection in person.

How do you know she doesn't? In any case, I'm pretty sure she'll do fine without said respect.

With a net worth of 450 million.... I am pretty sure she makes some sizable donations to charity... instead of sending more tax dollars to be wasted by the swamp dwellers in congress

It was part of a bundle. She really just wanted a new no-date sub.

She's given and raised millions for charities. It would have taken you less time to Google that than write your post.

Ellen is pretty cool. In addition to being a Rolex head, she also flips houses! Granted, its multi-million dollar ones, but still.
