Interesting Watch theft in Ibeza

Never mind all the connotations or how a 22 year old from Azerbaijan came to own the thing..
I am just blown away by the beautiful engineering of the watch....

They are amazing watches in terms of engineering but, leaving aside the fact I couldn't afford one without selling my entire collection, they don't blow my skirt up. Too 'in yer face' for my liking.

For discreet but exceptional engineering, look at Grand Seiko. The name is off-putting for badge snobs and they're relatively expensive for what is ostensibly a Seiko (think Lexus to Nissan) but some watch experts will tell you that they are better engineered than a Rolex. I wouldn't disagree, certainly not in public anyway.

Just wondering how it feels to see a bigger dick in the dick swinging contest swinging from a 22'year old......
The watch was prolly a present from his drug-dealer father as compensation for having a tiny penis.

Fair dos.

What other reason to have an expensive watch.......
I’ve been fascinated by watches since I was a little boy. If I had the combined wealth of Bill Gates, Tim Cook, Roman Abramovich and you, I still wouldn’t drop that much on a watch. The absolute furthest I’d go is just over £100k on one particular Panerai, but that’s another story.

All joking aside (for once), I cannot imagine why any sane person would wear something so expensive and, at the same time, so ostentatious. I think twice about wearing an expensive watch in London if I’m in short sleeves so what this twat was thinking is beyond my comprehension.
