Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Need group wisdom on pricing for 2007 F430

[Mike Fleischer (themightytoe]

Ah man it looked nice and I got it with about 4 other watches, I don't 
even wear a watch unless I go out all fancy, and that almost never 
happens :).  Besides who would even recognize a Patek Phillipe?  A Rolex 
sure...  Heck I had no idea until after buying it and then I looked it 
up online...

But to answer your question...  The guy who blew a million on a piece of 
jewelry, clearly not as smart as the guy who saved $999,940.00 for 
something that might actually be useful.
