Would you buy this with your lottery winnings

I came across this on the Omega Web site and fell off my chair when i checked the price in the Omega price list. Its a Platinum Deville Tourbillion 18 pieces made and costs a cool £200,910 ($306,359)...... but wait for it there's another version only 10 pieces (no photo) costing £241,480 ($368,222). Now wheres my plastic

I saw this (or at least one of the other Omega tourbillons) in the Champs Elysee Omega boutique. Gorgeous piece, and the hands aren't actually hands - they're two rotating discs of sapphire. Pretty cool, eh?

I was all set to buy it, but it just doesn't have enough orange! Seriously though, it's nice to see Omega producing haute pieces.

In reality you would see a hairy wrist behind the watch, I'm not a big fan of see though watches.

You don't need to know the time if you own this piece.

That's a lot to spend on a watch and have to ask other people for the time. Wait, silly me. I have my cell phone.

Very Funny, but very true, who needs a watch these days to tell the time

This looks stunning, Id love to see up close. Must be amazing in the flesh as all Omegas look far better than their web photos show them. One thing for sure, its very very unlikely that anyone else would have the same watch on as you in room full of watch people. The Ultimate in exclusivity I think

I can appreciate the exclusivity and horological aspect of it, but it really doesn't appeal to me aesthetically. So no for me.

Don't worry, folks, they do a non-skeletonised version too

The time shown on the watch is 7:10. Presuming the inncer circle tells hours and outer circle tells minutes.

As stunning as it may look, I'd rather buy a house and some spare to buy Speedmaster, Sub, and Pam..

That's what i think the time is too. Very clever watch and just shows what Omega are capable of producing

The time is 10:10. The hand you see in the innner dial is attached to the 1 minute tourbillon, so serves as a seconds hand.

It's a great watch, but if I wanted a central tourbillon, it would be the one produced by Beat Haldimann.

I'm not surprised by the response so far, it seems everyone except me seem to not want to buy this lovely watch even if money was no object.
