[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 5713, member: 25"]"estimated to be the most valuable watch ever created...” I'd say it was in line for being the gaudiest, and possibly the most expensive, but certainly not the most valuable in any other terms than sheer monetary expenditure. If the 110 carats is made up of 1000 10 point diamonds, that would be about $200,000 for materials plus about $20 per setting. I don't see how you could not make something like this for about $250,000, leaving a nice $54,750,000 profit. I'd also say it will show the highest depreciation of any manufactured object other than the Titanic, should anyone be daft enough to buy it. It also looks as if the dial is far too small to see, or you need a wrist like an elephant's leg to wear it.
