Patek Philippe 5175R Grandmaster Chime Watch
Long but very well done. The choir music is a little over the top.

Pretty cool and incredibly intricate! But that watch is HUGE! It would dwarf my puny wrists.

Very nice watch...... now things gets complicated! Do I get the Bugatti Veyron? Or save a little more for the watch?

Better just get both. You can't be too careful, you know.

So, that's how my watch was made.. I missed the tour of the factory.

OK, I'll say it. This watch is for people with too much time on their hands.

The craftsmanship is impressive.

I can tell you one thing that won't go into it - - my wrist! LOL!What goes into a $3m wristwatch?

Harbor Freight has a couple of watch tools and some loupes. That ought to do it.

I love the reviews on that watch:
>>The good people at Patek wanted to ensure that their customers have only the finest watches when they decide to not give anyone else the time... and why would they? It's their time, not that lowly cretin's.................... At just over $100,000, there has never been an easier way to say, "I am better than you and you know it." <<
>> saw this watch and sadly this was also very cheap but the guy said it was the most expesive one. I bought it. I started to like it even though it was so cheap. The next year I got a girlfriend and lost all my money.<<
>>This thing is so pedestrian. I could feel it draining the equity away from my second home. <<

I'm a cheap watch guy by necessity. I have owned over 20 watches I my almost 66 years. The longest any single one lasted before I destroyed it was 5 years. Many only lasted a year or less. I contrast this with my 89 year old father who until 3 years ago had and still used the gold Hamilton watch with gold band my mother gave him upon his graduation from law school in May 1951. He now owns a cheapo too figuring if he bought an expensive one he wouldn't be around to get full use out of it. The thrifty depression raised Massachusetts Yankee hasn't gone out of either my mother or father and they haven't lived in New England for 63 years.

The longest lasting watch I have owned, I bought from some guy at a gas station I worked at. Literally bought it out of his coat.
Really. I paid $12 for it.
