I like watches. I don't like buying them though.

This one however I think is really awesome.

Apparently designed after 70's sports cars. I can see it.

$63-grand? That's a cool watch, but I'd rather just buy 70's sports cars!

$63k? Holy crap, I would have said $10k, but damn

I'll just wait 20-30 years and pick one up for $500, found half-sticking out of a barn that ran when parked (but you just KNOW that the water pump died and the dumbass kept driving it until the engine locked up solid)

Anything on my arm that cost $63k better be able to perform oral sex.

In reply to Curmudgeon:

Don't look at these then. Any gear-head can appreciate the design and execution of an unbelievable machine.

Here's a video of the real watch. When it changes the hour (at 0:45) it is really cool.

Harry Winston commissions a watchmaker to make the Opus series of watches and each is more amazing than the previous.

One of those things that would definitely hit my list if I won the lottery. If you like that, check out the Urwerk UR1001. Not even a watch in the usual sense, more of a "Hey look how much money I have!" medallion. Counts years up to a thousand (why? why not!) with an automatic mechanical movement.
