It looks like a watch from the 1970's! In fact, its more like a clock! Imagine having this on your wrist! You would be a laughing stock! Probably the worlds most ugliset watch too! $15,00! There having a laugh!!

@yogibear2k10 So what you are saying is that if you got one as a gift you'd give it back? It is a beautiful thing once you get the hang of it.

It looks cheap, look at white painting coming of numbers.

@marjan15 This was a pre-production prototype model.

@aBlogtoRead So what do I gotta do to get my hands on that pre-production model to keep? :D

[aBlogtoRead]

@viksra They are available for retail purchase now - $15,000.

@LivingInEnvy We've got the "My Casio cost $10, has a chronograph, is waterproof, and more accurate than this watch!" guy.

@LivingInEnvy Not really. My father owns a handful of watches that cost between $4,000-20,000 and he's bought them for personal enjoyment. He also almost always wears them under his shirt cuff, he never flaunts them. Most people I know that are into watch collecting are like that. Don't be mad because people have expensive hobbies they can afford. Doesn't mean they're better than anyone else.

[LivingInEnvy]

@pbmarijn Actually I would be willing to bet mine could take a bullet better than this.

[LivingInEnvy]

@MechaBalls Blowing 15,000, which I doubt someone like you could do, is not style. It is called stupidity in times of a global economic downfall.

[LivingInEnvy]

@Nebraskahusker23 Actually my watch is over $100, and is about 10x more practical than a $15,000 piece of uselessness. The only reason a person would buy this is because they are so conceited that they feel they need to wear half of some people's yearly incomes on their wrist.

[LivingInEnvy]

@MechaBalls Its an art reference not a personal reference. You obviously don't know much either. ANY watch company can do something like this, any private watch maker as well. The reason they don't is the uselessness of it. Why would you want a 15,000 piece of impractical junk?

[MechaBalls]

@LivingInEnvy Living In Envy much?

Also, if you think this can be "reproduced by kids in high school" you clearly know much, MUCH less about watches than you want people to think you do.
