Free shipping?!? That sucker better be brought to my bedroom by a big titted brunette, and not only should the watch be serviced but I better be too

Hey, isn't that a Seagull ST19 powering it

[mossanti]

agree with Drule! Would love a good brunette company than the watch LOL

I love how we always find the real bargains on here

Consider it a Lease BT because....

You never really own a Patek.......

You just take care of it for the next generation

I can't figure these prices out...Is it purely a status symbol at point? I can understand a rare $10K Daytona or similar watch (Not that I'd pay that much for one), but this I can't get my head around.

Me either. Looks like a gaudy mess.

This might be where our tastes part ways, BT!

No you got me wrong... that's as far from my tastes as anything.

I linked it because of the price.

These are for super rich watch connoisseurs. They're only interested in high end JLC, Breguet, Patek, etc. Many of these people would never even look at mass produced "hillbilly luxury" watches like Rolex.

Personally, I find very few of these "super watches" very attractive. And I agree... there's a limit what makes sense (no matter how much money you have).
