About this product
Product Information
More than a fashion accessory or means to tell the time, the wristwatch has become a statement of identity; politician or celebrity, scientist or sportsman, what you choose to wear on your wrist speaks volumes about who you are.The World's Most Expensive Watches presents some of the most extravagant, intricate, collectible, decadent, or just plain interesting modern-day timepieces that sit at the top of the price spectrum. Starting at a threshold price of about $200,000, it is a trip through the last decade or so of watches whose values soar incredibly to prices of $5 million dollars or more. Additionally, there is a selection of notable watches that yielded extremely high prices at auction - many of which are historically relevant.A stunning collection that is both informative and entertaining; with detailed descriptions of individual watches and articles that usefully deconstruct the price tag with an explanation of the relevance of craftsmanship and complexity of design, as well as the importance of exclusivity, prestige and collectibility.Prepare to be impressed by a larger-than-life-look at some relatively small items that command not only huge prices but kudos and respect, in all areas of a global society fascinated with using accessorizing to create identity.

Definitely used, and it strongly appears to be the exact same fountain pen pictured. After a gentle but thorough cleaning, simply fantastic. I received what I expected. Shipping, I think, is about cost, so I have no opinion about that but I certainly wish it were cheaper. Respectable shipping time and good comms, but I don't actually recall communicating with seller. In a nutshell, good seller. I'd buy from again.

An awesome purchase. Well packaged and shipped quickly. The ad said that it doesn’t work, likely a battery issue. When I took it to my guy, he said that the battery was not the issue, that the watch was no good. When I contacted the seller, they were very amenable to my situation and offered a complete refund which occurred immediately. With all the things that I’ve bought over the years, not everything will work out. This vendor went the extra mile and stood behind the product. I will buy again
