It´s a cute little gadget, but a $245,000.00 watch, I will surely manage to live without.

I am pretty sure you could find a replicate of that watch - or any other, if you visit lower Manhattan, not the real thing, mind you, but a pretty darn good imitation.

I should be able to save my spare change from lunch to pay for this beautiful bauble. I could have it paid for by the time Saturn rotates 5 times.

All I want in a watch is to see what time it is, and the $5.00 WalMart special does that quite well.

I'm guessing the over-under on that is about a month.
