Title: Not Model Aviation but TOTAL INSANITY
Post by: Robert Zambelli on July 08, 2022, 07:11:35 PM: Hey, want a new watch?
Super thin - 1.75 MM.
For a mere $1.88 MILLION USD it can be yours!

Question: Is anyone, even very rich people, DUMB enough to buy this?

For your entertainment.

Big brains are fascinated with small things.
Is this what they call 'Small Tech'?
Perhaps it's a profile scale?

Post by: EddyR on July 09, 2022, 02:32:49 PM: It is a automatic mechanical watch. No battery. I collect watches but not oddball watches.
Wait a few months and you can get a replica on Wish for $17 LL~

Post by: John Rist on July 09, 2022, 05:49:35 PM: It's quite possible that my Timex keeps better time. I saw a joke once about a janitor bragging about his $500 watch and upstairs the president of the company was bragging about his Timex.

Post by: Tim Wescott on July 09, 2022, 06:35:35 PM: It's a very very thin watch, with a very pretty horsie, and if I get one then Elon, Jeff, and Dickie Branson will know I'm one of them.

If I had THAT kind of money, I wouldn't give a tinker's DAMN what time it was, or what day of the week it was!! If it was warm outside I would know it's summer and if it's cold and snowy I would know it's winter! Everything else wouldn't matter!
Type at you later,

Or better yet, a Swedish masseuse because with that kind of money, you could care less what time it is! LL~ LL~
