    Thought I read "Steamjunk" and thought that finally they found a proper name for a RJ watch :D

    If you have to wear that watch to be a real man looks like I'll have to bite the pillow :D :D

    Looks to me like someone threw a magnet in the swarf bucket.

    RJ is to watch making as HP Lovecraft is to children's bedtime stories :D

    That looks like sht. I'm not being derogatory; that really does look like someone's put sht on it.
    ...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!

    A timepiece that screams anything would probably keep me up at night.....

    Interesting in what way?

    It looks to be a tourbillon which in itself is pretty interesting (is it his own or a Chinese one?) but the rest of it IMO is pretty preposterous but then I am rather conservative in my watch fancying.

    From what I have seen these retail at around £100,000 with the requisite bit of Titanic as the case.

    You paid that for it? :shock:
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Re: I'm not a real man

    Not my cuppa, but it's interesting I suppose. If I had £100k to spend on a watch, I think I'd be wondering whether or not that cash could be better put to work somewhere helping more needy and worthwhile causes.
