At first I saw this watch and almost passed on it. Then I saw below the details that if I bought two of them, I would get a $100 Amazon gift card. That was the selling point right there. I know what your thinking, " A $100 gift card for the small price of $160,000". What a deal. Right in time too for Christmas season. That gift card will come in handy buying presents for my family.

Recently, my father passed on after losing a long fight with Pancreatic cancer. My mom called me at 2:00am one night crying and I knew before she even said anything what had happened. After the funeral, my mother told me that she couldn't live on her own. Who could blame her, she lived with my father for 60 years. She couldn't live there anymore with all the memories of him, so we decided to sell the house and give her a clean start and to also cover the funeral costs. I love my mother so I wanted to help her be happy.

I sold my father house in today's bad market for a lose, but was intent on finding her a nice condo or townhome in a friendly neighborhood where she could meet new friends and feel safe. She would always talk about living by the beach and I wanted to make her dream a reality. Who wouldn't cater to the dreams of the woman that raised you? I had her live in my home while I searched for the perfect beachside condo.

One day, while I was on Realtor.com and talking to a real estate agent, I stumbled upon this watch on amazon.com. Being a victim of ADHD, I hung up with the Realtor and started marveling at this watch! It was magnificent! It function the same way as a watch for a mere fraction of the cost, but at this price... it HAD to be special. I mean, why else would a watch cost more than a small house or Porsche?

When I saw this watch, I knew what the money should be spent on! Well, as luck would have it, the house sold for exatcly $83,050.99 and not a penny more or less. My father owned a Rolex Submariner and he used to always shove that in my face. What would be a better definition of justice than to sell his house (the one he built with his own hands, by the way.) and use the money to one-up him?

I broke the news of this decision to my mother by putting her in a cab and sending her to a double-wide in a ghetto trailer park. She must have still be grief-stricken because when I told her, she went straight into a catatonic state. The watch is amazing and well worth the investment!

The best things in life are free, for everything else, there's pretentious Swiss watchmaking D-bags!

At first I was skeptical about this watch, but after getting it I realized that this watch is made with 18k gold, and it weighs nearly 13 lbs.! If you know how much gold is going for per ounce these days, you'll see that this watch is quite a bargain. You can't tell from the picture, but the face is roughly the size of a dinner plate. It's meant to be worn around the waist like a prize-fighter belt, so that you can charitably show everyone the time and look dashing and elegant while doing so. I don't go out to many fancy gatherings where it's appropriate to wear, but I've gotten a lot compliments on it from the ladies at church.

I feel stupid. Last month I paid $118,000 for this watch. If I had waited, I could have gotten the watch today for $76,000. Still, $118,000 is a great price for a watch. I had to hold off buying the flux capacitor upgrade for my DeLorean in order to afford this watch but I'll be able to get it once my supply of dilithium crystals sells on eBay.

Kinda neat looking but does not keep good time. Also, you have to keep your hand moving or it will run out of juice. I almost went blind trying to keep the dang thing wound up.

At $76,000 dollars and a savings of about $40,000 a pop, I bought three, sold two and paid for the one I kept with the profit from the others. I can't believe how easy it was to flip these watches at list price. I'm glad so few of us know about Amazon.com and the great deals we get here. By the way, I decided to leave one in stock for others to have a chance to own it. I like to think myself as a generous person.

I recently purchased this wonderful Blancpain Tourbillion Rose Gold watch with the money I made at the Bingo hall. Ok, I didn't actually win the money, but after I ran over the old lady who did (a few times) with my big wheel, I had enough to buy this watch. Seems as though the old battle ax had had an epic night playing Bingo. So anyway, the next day I was so excited about the watch that I told my special ed teacher. My teacher was very proud of me for being pro-active, and I got a gold star and everything. Then I ran home and told my step mother. However, when I got to the part about running over the old lady with the Bingo money, she beat me like...well...a red headed step child. Did I mention that I have red hair? And that's just another reason to love this watch: It matches my hair.

I just had to have this Blancpain for one reason: to pull off the stunt from the movie Glegary Glen Ross. This watch clearly is five star for this purpose. So, whenever I have an underling who needs to be put in his or her place, I just flash my Blancpain and say contemptuously, "this watch costs more than your car." That makes it worth every penny.

First impressions out of the box: this watch is a real beauty! It looks very impressive on my wrist and should be a real babe-magnet. I like that the watch is ambidexterous - I had to do quite a bit of shopping to find a watch that could be worn on either wrist. This one fist the bill just right. I need to switch wrists sometimes because I am a plumber and sometimes I can't fit my wrist in a toilet drain when I am wearing this watch, so I just switch to the other wrist and Presto I am back in business.

Two weeks later: sometimes I forget and leave the watch on my right wrist - when an episode of Gilligan's Island is playing on the TV then I have problems-when MaryAnn or Ginger are on the watch gets too agitated and gains time. Still, it looks nice and makes me feel good about myself... for a few moments at least.

An OK watch for the price. It definitely tell me time. It features three separate hands - an hour hand, minute hand, AND second hand, which pretty much sold me. Other than that, it's pretty standard. I use this watch when I go on long walks with my dog and lose track of time. He loves the black leather, he says it makes me look sexy. Could have been like 1000$ or 2000$ cheaper, but prob worth it in the end.
