Can you imagine filling out THAT customs declaration form? :shock:

Or the look on the customs guy's face? :shock:

Imagine getting a bill at the airport for $A200,000 in duty.

Yikes!!

:mouthdrop:

Can you imagine trying to explain that purchase to your spouse? "Gee honey, it was only our entire savings, the kids university funds and everything else we own."

Buy you guys are right, if you can afford it, it is probably not a big deal to drop that much on a watch.

It's also a little optimistic in the pricing. I only know details of one other of these, and that was about 3 years ago. That sold for $800K.

And, the old adage that things are only worth what someone else is willing to pay sure applies here. There were no bids and the auction is up.

I suspect they put the price that high just to get people like us to take a look, and perhaps look at their other run of the mill auctions.
