According to my wifes shopping habits, YOU MUST BUY THIS ONE.
WHere else are you going to SAVE $500,001 on one item.
Deals like that don't come around very often.

Apparently amazon doesn't have 10 in stock, it shows out of stock when you try to place an order of 10.

I can imagine what your review said.
Amazon are worried that you'll scare of the hundreds of customers that want that watch.
And imagine what you could do with the $500,000 you save!!

I mean you could go out and buy another one

Don't show that link to my wife, she likes to buy things she doesn't need when they're discounted 50%.

Well yes agree John women sometimes are very strange creatures.Now going back to the late 60s I was a manager of a large supermarket.And remember having a 100 case delivery of a Polish luncheon meat a bit like spam.To retail then for one shilling and sixpence 7.50p,now this stuff would not sell.So removed the display for a few days,then put it on sale for two shillings and sixpence 12.50p.Now then it sold like hot cakes and in ten days sold the lot.Now beggars why,did the women shoppers think it was too cheap and rubbish?.Or somehow by increasing the price,miraculously made into a better product.I suppose in several ways a bit like the watch world today, where some think, more expensive is always better.

Yep, women are a bizarre type of creature. My wife will buy a food type we never regularly buy or eat, simply cuz it's on sale. It sits in the fridge or cupboard until it's gone bad or whatever and we throw it out.

I always make a point of letting her know it was money well spent.

My review:

I found this in my wife's amazon wish list, she has got to be crazy to think that I will get her this watch. And hon if you are reading this, I love you but I ain't crazy enough to drop half a mil on a stupid watch for you.
