I would have a hard time paying $40,000 more for a watch, than I paid for my House!

Highest price paid for Rolex's "Oyster Chronograph in 2006 was called the Antimagnetic" made in 1941. This rare all stainless-steel watch,sold for $286,211 .Now with your watch above most of its value is in the precious metal and gem stones.

Could not agree more and how do you define expensive in the first place.Everything is now expencive for some, and not so for others.

Master Piece Question

Do you guys know if a Presidential bracelet can be fitted to a Master Piece? The one thing I do like about Master Pieces are they are 3mm bigger than a DD (and I prefer big watches).

Believe they are the same size between the lugs,thought the extra 3mm was just a wider bezel for the diamonds,but not 100% sure,not my type of watch, but think case size is the same as DD.

For a watch with that kind of a fancy price tag, one would have hoped for a much better box!!
