Rolex is £28k iirc (which for their pricing is suprisingly ‘low’ for platinum model) and the Chopard £29k which seems steep in comparison.

Or £120 for the pair from Bodrum market!

Yoinks! That's some serious coin!!!!

Couple of personal favs from this year’s Watches and Wonders….
Platinum 1908 with and ice blue guilloche dial

I like the yellow gold, green dial Overseas by VC (not that I could ever afford one). The new Cartier Tortue monopusher in platinum is also quite cool:

I read those Cartiers are from their ‘Privé lineup’ and in limited numbers too but they are nice.

The VC Overseas are nice too the green dials on gold looks very nice.

Agreed - I love looking at other peoples purchases even if I'm too tight poor to join them

Me!

Not much in the way of finishing on that Chopard open movement. Could have been so much nicer.

The new colourful series of Nomos Tangente look nice.

Love this new Cartier Santos Dumont

The 1908 with that blue finish is a really good looking dress watch and like the open caseback on it too. I have put my name down for the Tudor purely as an investment watch but there is next to no chance of getting one with the numbers of them being produced. If by some miracle I get it am sure it will be gone very quickly and will fund a couple of nice new purchases to keep

I’m guessing the visible ‘dial’ might be titanium too which perhaps doesn’t lend itself to guilloche or similar finishing

This think is quite mad looking and I can’t for the life of me work out how to tell the time on it

Not sure about the ‘Freak’ engraving between the lugs, apparently this has a ‘Flying carousel movement rotating around its own axis, Two 20-degree-inclined oversized oscillators with silicon balance wheels, DIAMonSIL escapements’

99 produced if you have a spare $148k down the back of your sofa.

Looks to be the same movement as used here -

I always wonder if I could afford one of these 10k plus watches, would I actually buy one?

I've thought this. I'd buy an Omega or breitling for example but I'd be terrified of damaging it!

That's why I'm much happier with a £400 Seiko or £200 Orient watch!!

No problem with that, can’t wear them in the UK for fear of having your hand chopped off for it by moped riding ne’er-do-wells.
