Each one cost more than 20,000.

That’s not revealing the price.
Were they 25,000, 60,000, 150,000?
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Is it actually a recognised official servicer for any brand though? I wouldn't send mine to an unofficial one, as it would become less valuable when coming to sell.

Most people buy a t-shirt or fridge magnet as a souvenir. In Cambo-Cuckoo-Land, a $20,000 watch is given away.

You just know they will all be tossed in a draw and never see the light of day again.

A friend had a$10,000 Rolex once and put it alongside my $9.99 watch I bought from the market, which was a whole two minutes ahead of the $10,000 Rolex. Which just goes to show you, money doesn't always equal quality.

How does that work? Unless they had been synchronized previously it wouldn't make any difference.

When I looked at the time at the London Houses of Parliament clock (it’s not Big Ben by the way, that’s the bell inside) it was 10 seconds slower than my IPhone.

xandreu makes a good point JB. Know when you’ve lost.
