Only around $10k, so be quick before they are all gone.

I hope the watch run was only a hundred or so because i think it will be a very select group of nuff nuffs who buys one. When you weren't wearing the watch you could put it on the mantle piece with the Wide world of Sports, "limited edition poster" of the one day international between Australia and Bangladesh that you paid $5,000 for.

$10k for a watch is nothing when you consider you can spend between $40k- $300k on some fancy branded watches. These way expensive watches are regularly advertised in the Financial Review inserts, so some people dont mind spending this kind on money on something a Swatch can do quite well for only $180!

I am not one of these rich people though!

Great!  Why pay $10k when you can spend a couple of hundred.  All watches are the same anyway.  Just like cars.   ;)

At least that replica could be useful, unlike this one ...

I don't think it's a bad replica, at least it doesn't look like a cheap chinese knock off
