Lost his way and lost his mind with this near 400k purchase today. Jesus

[Cromag]

Good thing he can do what he wants with his property in the US. Him deciding to buy a 400k watch is probably like average folks deciding to buy a Thomas Kinkade.

[Tonyyammine]

That not like him. He doesnt buy stuff like that. Why is that a 400k rolex anyway.

[lhooq]

6269s don't come cheap!

[janeto72]

it's 400K because it's the only one in existence and 100% factory original......he's been trying to buy this for a long time.The owner finally liked JM's offer.

What time is it? I don't even see the hands.

[cc33]

Time to break out some blow and go party with vanilla ice! That's what time!!!

That watch epitomizes the 80's

[JoeyB]

$400K on a jubilee? He got screwed. 

[Nanuq]

Heeeyyyyyyy that's thing's a FAKE!

Screw-down pushers and the dial isn't marker "Oyster"?!

[dbane883]

Fugly.

He should stick to the Comex sea dwellers.

So should rolex. Can't believe they produced this thing.

I do not know if the seller purchased it from him, but I believe this is the same iced Daytona (custom made for a middle easterner) that British watch dealer, Tom Bolt, sold (at least) twice before. Bolt also appeared on a tv show 2-3 years ago where high end buyers attempted to bid for this watch, unfortunately, none met Bolt's minimum & he left with the watch in hand.

I am sure Mayer is aware how ugly the watch is, but, as is the case with many uber wealthy collectors, he knows that any Rolex that was made in small batches is unlikely to be a bad investment & is therefore worth whatever it costs to possess it.

[Tonyyammine]

Ok here it is. He paid this price because of charity. Of all the watches there this is a weird one for a celebrated rolex guy.

It goes well with the crowd at his Montana ranch house??

[Guest Bild1963s]

good.

[martijnp]

Please turn off the lights I can't see the time with all the bling

Please turn on the lights there is no lume on my watch..

[rek001]

Strange, this doesn't seem like his taste at all.

[ubiquitous]

Personally speaking... I like it. Nothing says excess like extreme excess.

maybe it will be your next build buddy unless you have a problem with the whole "one of a kind" thing...

[ubiquitous]

As much as I love the Daytona... I'm not a big fan of manual wind movements with screw down crowns. Which is why I no longer own any 

[PeteM]

It certainly is a wristy with a difference

 

However it is a bit understated for a £400K watch....

 

 

[ianmac]

It will make a great investment either way and that was likely a motivating factor. It is a rare watch.....just not his usual good taste.

[Cromag]

Money doesn't buy good taste.

[Utheman]

I bet he will give it to Katy Perry as an engagement or wedding gift.

[freddy333]

Not a chance.
