That's hideous. And for 1.65 million, shouldn't you be able to tell what time it is?

Also, it looks cheap, and that's just inexcusable.

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Hold my watch and beer this!

Rufus don't care... Rufus don't give a shiat! He crazy!

For that price it should be filled with a lot of cool Bond-gadgets.

Like all of them.

I bought all five

ok, i'm a bit of a watch nerd, but that's just ridiculous. plus, the dial is a mess; how do you even tell time on that thing?

That's the trend on all modern upscale watches these days, isn't it ?

Yeah, 2:43 Central.

Oh, and

It's time to get ill!

/Couldn't resist.

Wow, shaped corundum looks remarkably like plastic.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's a conversation starter for use with gold digging bimbos, after which you can tell them how much it cost.

that's what i do. except my watch cost about $100 and i'm a really good liar.

Winning: I think it would be cheaper to hire someone to follow you around and tell you what time it is when you ask.

Oh I do. And she's much prettier than that watch!

$300k Romaine Jerome. Does not read time.

These aren't necessarily bling.

A lot of the high-end watches and jewelry are for money laundering.

If you take more than $10k cash in a suitcase on a flight to Geneva, you're going to get shaken down by the feds.

But you can put a $500k+ watch on your wrist and pass through without it even being noticed. Sell it in a foreign country and deposit the cash, unnoticed.

That's the real reason these types of things exist.

So I pulled off my hat and said "imagine that..me..."

Wait..

Looks like one of R2D2's balls.

Looks like it's made out of cheap plastic. I bet you could make a $20 version that's near identical of everything but the internal bits. The band looks like shiat.

Dodge ball time. (new window)

That was my thought as well.
"Gah, looks like a really ugly Swatch."

Ugly thing made with expensive bits is still ugly.

Wow. It looks like something from a CVS.

Now this:



Is a good conversation starter and actually tells time.

Watch porn! $132,000, powered by compressed air.

I don't particularly care if the .001% want to waste their money on shiat like this. Hell, that really is trickle down economics: Make a shiatty, garish watch and charge stupid amounts of money for it for no reason other than you can. Convince everyone it is a status symbol and profit. That reminds me of that I Am Rich IPhone app from a few years ago. The only thing better than convincing the foolish to buy your half-assed product is convincing the rich foolish to buy it.

And just to be clear, when you get good, I mean really good, at murdering hobos for kicks, you don't need to know when its time. You just know. Kind of like when people can feel the weather changing because their bones ache. Sometimes you just know that you need to feel that bum's life drain out of him as you squeeze your hands around his neck, tighter and tigh....I've said too much.

That had me scratching my head too. It simply looks like it's a cheap plastic watch you'd pick up from some place like walmart.

It's not even pretty. Just an ugly watch that looks like it's made out of plastic, with a bunch of junk to make it hard to tell what time it is.

I guess watches go full circle. After a certain price point they're indistinguishable from dollar store plastic pieces of crap.

I have three or four watches that I will sell to people fro 1.65 million and they look plenty better then that.

I never thought of that. Good point!

Who kills hobos? I had a giant microwave special-built so I can render an entire giraffe tasteless and rubbery.
