Hmm be interesting to see how he filled in the questionnaire on his home contents policy....items worth over £2500? I've none

Watches are so last century.

Fancy splashing out all that money on a single-function platform, perhaps dual-function if it tells you the date as well.
A good smartphone does all that and so much more!
He's got all that money and no blooming brains.

I work for a watchmaking company. It turned over 8 BILLION dollars last year, and is building additional factories in Switzerland to meet demand.

why would you spend 30 grand on a watch that's just stupid

 

[maltaseagull]

Obscene to spend that on a watch.

Probably can't tell the time!

Well imagine how much it would cost to buy a watch that's intelligent.

The combustion engine is from like the 18th Century.....do you have a car?

Yes I do have a car. Until there is a commonplace C21 alternative - like the mini-nuclear reactors I was promised by Tomorrow's World when I was a kid - I will continue to use it, C18 or not.

I have stopped buying wristwatches, as I have a smartphone in my pocket. I have also stopped buying CD players, mini disk players, maps, GPS units, books, diaries etc for the same reason.

Carry on.

I shall consider myself told. Twice.

Birmingham City winger Peter Lovenkrands owns a £30,000 watch - or did. Madness.

not madness when you have been earning £25k a week for most of your career....

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Seriously, how can a watch cost that much? And for that matter, how can a watch cost £70k? Amazing sums of money.

 

[brightn'ove]

two weeks wages, he'll get over it

if i lost a £200 watch i'd be f***ing livid...

 

[The Wookiee]

What is the point in a £30k watch...? It just tells the time right? If it was a James Bond watch that did some clever stuff fair enough...

An investment. I was told good watches can increase in value over the years
