    I stumbled upon a Luminor Panerai at auction not long ago & went for it at £800…sold it a few days later for £1600! I’m now even more into expensive watches and hope one day i’ll buy myself a few for keeps. Amazing craftmanship & time goes into those watches…an expensive watch always speaks volumes!!

    This is craziness.

  29. Dustrat on November 9th, 2009 1:56 pm

    I thought paying 2K for a watch was a lot of money! I then found a watch for 100K. I wondered how much money one could actually pay for a watch. Consequently I found that figure to be well over 1 million. It’s sad to see people work everyday at menial jobs with little hope for a better future while the trust fund babies and idle wealthy squander our money on watches. This is repugnant!

  30. CBA on November 15th, 2009 2:06 pm

    You will also need in this list the new Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega 4.
