Whilst it might be great engineering I am pretty certain I could find better things to spend £97K on.

It is what it is, but I always find these type of watches very odd indeed, I would just feel such a tit with that strapped on my wrist, its plain fugly, irrelevant to if it costs £5.99 or £100k
Funnily I always look at blowers new additions on a regualr basis, and saw this too, think I spat a little of my coffee out..but I suppose there must be a market out there or blowers wouldnt have bought it!!

bare in mind this is the top view of the watch the dial is on the side (not where you would normally have it) and taste is individual, if I had the money I would ware a Parmigiani.

I actually like it and it is a fascinating watch to see in real life. It is similar to pieces from Harry Winston etc, very different and eye wateringly expensive.

I imagine that blowers took this in with a very low PX price and there is a fair amount across this one.

It's much more the bargain, in comparison to this:

I must admit that I like it too, to look at, not sure how it would wear though!

This looks like the Bugatti veyron watch, saw one for sale recently at 217k. Personally I wouldn't pay 2k for it.

The advert now says the watch was bought via PH! eek I honestly hope not, because it was a horrible fake ... The misaligned bezel screws and poor finish are a giveaway!

Anywhere between £60/70K-£200K ... There doesn't seem to be price list available though!

Ideal watch for vulgarian nouveaux riche Russians or Chinese: the market segment whose main goal is to show off how wealthy they are - taste and style are not considerations wink
