Would you buy a watch that cost $2,500,000?

I think it will be interesting to see the responses. I’m guessing they will be somewhat similar to the responses as to buying a $300,000 automobile.

Only if I were accompanied by an armed guard at all times.

No, I check the time on my iPhone.

My $20 Casio from Target hasn't needed attention in years......

It would look good on vacation in the Caribbean. Match the environment. Not so much here in Canada where the colours are more primary. Like red, yellow and blue and then the combos of green, orange and purple. Sort of like the rainbow flag.😀

I think $300k for a whole car and $2.6 for a watch are two very different things.  

I've never been a fan of Tiffany blue.  It's just not my jam.

When Tiffany originally offered this watch to their client base, it retailed at $52k.  The markup on third-party auctions sites is wacky.  Makes zero sense.

Joma is just posting it at this price to get the hits.

Ugly?  No, that watch is f*ckin' hideous.  As popular as the Nautilus is, I always found it ugly.  The Tiffany blue dial takes ugly to a whole other level.

I would buy at least two, and carry one in my $100K bag as a drive my $300K car back to my $1M studio condo on the outskirts of Toronto...

I don't wear a watch now, and I cannot imagine me becoming wealthy enough to afford the luxury of a watch at that price. So, no.

I bought Casio watches for years and years. My oddity...I would remove the band and carry it in my pants as a pocket watch. I was in the sun a lot then, and I wanted to avoid watch tan lines and getting a watch sized sunburn on my forearm.

I was  talked into trying an Apple Watch 2-3 years ago, I'm on my second one and haven't looked back...love it.

At this point, I wouldn’t buy a watch that cost $25.

I agree...although I do like the look of some of the Shinola watches.  Anyway, my smartphone covers all the bases for me.

I have an expensive watch that I haven't worn in years.

My phone tells me the time.

So I don't bother anymore.
