Wow Pauls watch goes for 15 mill and the reaction of the auctioners when the opening bid of 1 mil is immediatly raised to 10 mil is pricless.

I refuse to EVER pay more than $1M for a wristwatch!  And even for a little less than a mil, it had better be accurate!

Yes, I know, I'm a cheapskate.

I'm a little more flexible but probably cheaper.  My rule is to never pay more than my residence is worth on anything manufactured to be worn.   ;)

I get paid in CAD, so it's real money to me!
