Problem is your looking at it as if it were only a watch. Or at a
Picasso as only a painting. Or a $10,000 Hot Wheels as a kids toy. At
that level it's an investment. Something rare and valuable that will
appreciate. Something better than a stock 1. because it's insured and
if destroyed, you will at least break even on it (or make $); 2. it's
something you can enjoy and use while you own it; and 3. it's something
that will be valued by others in the future and will continue to
appreciate. So this is less sane that someone paying $150,000 for an
F430 that you also put gas into, maintain, insure, store, AND sell 3
years later for $100,000?

But Why the hell?Its a bitty piece of jewelry? Christ are the uber-wealthy that bored? Really? Seriously big time douchebag territory for someone who would spend that kind of money on something so meaningless. This makes even less sense as people paying 1 million dollars for a comic book, or 10 grand on a hotwheels car to me. Seriously insanity I say! I am going to see if I can trade my Patek Phillipe replica for a 308 kit car! Heck I may even try for an F40 kit car!Erik Nielsen wrote:http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?from=searchresults&intObjectID=5130651&sid=fa50265f-518f-4af0-bf1e-35e788fc3e21 That's not a typo, it's about 2 F40's in today's prices...

I have one myself that I picked up in Shenzhen. Admittedly tougher to bring these into Europe (I am told the fines are quite large). But it wouldn't cost you a 308 either :) But I have to say anyone who wants to trade their sports car in for a watch (even if it were a Miata), is just not a car enthusiast. Sorry Erik. I never will understand the "more money than sense watches" any more than I get the whole Vertu business model. I see the appeal of a Ferrari, all of the ones I have driven have unique sounds and driving persona that makes you want to push it a bit harder everytime you get behind the wheel, and no question they look amazing just sitting still, but to exchange that experience for a piece of jewelry?
