Since we're now talking about watches, my wife bought me a Rolex for Xmas a few years ago. One of those ultra thin gold ones that you have to manually wind every few days.
Returned it the next day. Damned if I'm going to try and remember to wind my watch every other day!

I didn't say I had one, just that as far as time keeping goes ...
I have my Breitling Superocean bling watch, that COSC piece of paper jacks a $1500 watch up to $3000, much like that SAI piece of paper jacks a $80K roller up to $160K 
Btw, got to luv the irony of a wrist sporting a rolex outside the window of duracell nissan

And NYG can't comprehend spending any more than $30,000 for a 50-year old (design) simple-to-assemble Cobra, yet all this jibber-jabber about watches would lead one to believe he may spent that kind of money buying watches.

Are watches complicated to assemble? And wasn't the pocket watch invented in the 1500's? Wouldn't that make the design of a watch to be about 500 +/- years old?
Who would pay alot of money for such a simple-to-assemble and for an old design? No irony there.

"Complicated to assemble?" 
Well yeah...the real ones (mechanical) are...hell of a lot more complicated then these damn cars we yap about here. Add things like automatic winding, dates, power reserves, time measurement, diving calculators, multiple timezones, etc....all of which are referred to as "complications"...and consider the size of the case, and yes damn complicated. Take a moment and google "tourbillon" and you might get an appreciation for the art of watchmaking.
