Does any one else think $750 for a quartz wall clock is a lot of money or is it just me being cheap?

The decent Chinese copies are 200, so for a genuine Rolex version, 750 doesn't seem out of line. You're not paying for the clock as much as a cool piece of Rolex memorabilia.

Thanks. Since this is the first one I've seen, I didn't know the cost of them.

Why not if you have the right decor for it ? So $750, it's a Rolex dealer collectable, seems about right to me. C'mon, $250 for an anchor for your desk? Or $250 for a wallet ? It's all the same thing, whatever collectors will pay.

I'm not a collector.

Why not if you have the right decor...because it is FAKE!!! We don't sell or discuss fakes for sale here unless Steve changed the forum rules and as far as I know they haven't changed.

It certainly is....

It's made by some backyard garage and never displayed or intended for an official AD, but only to siphon money from the unsuspecting!!

Moved to the correct section.
