(ugly watch, look at those cheap looking hands, mnot my style....)

[Snoopdong]

Clearly not without significant merit but the price is mad! For this price surely you are in the realm of multiple complications, repeaters etc not just a very nicely finished tourbillion in an iconic case....

[no.3]

nice looking i suppose but it seems obscene to spend such money on a watch, even if you can afford to

[loqv75]

Not my cup of tea..
Why 350.000? It's a Joke?

[Ramses]

Wow! That's a lot of money for such a ugly watch

[TheWatchman]

Liking it alot, not that i'd be in a position to own one mind but those hands are terrible

[bobfrog]

I get the feeling it's a marmite one - personally I'm not keen. Too fussy and those hands....

I think I'd much rather buy a nice car and a few cheaper watches for that much cash.

God I hate power reserve on the front.

Fugly, for the money. Simple AP's are the best, the LE and SE and blinged up ones just taint the brand. I tried a £200k pave diamond AP Plat chronograph tourbillon on in Rockefeller in Manchester and it left me stone cold... Perhaps its because I couldn't afford it, or the fact that I'm not a footballer...

I'd pass - even at 10% of the asking.

[Henk Hoving]

That's... overpriced, period.

[farmkid]

It's made of 950 platinum so was never going to be cheap........
and with the strong pound at the minute it could actually be a good time to buy-
it's not worth holding on-I doubt we'll ever see one on sales corner.......

I love that kind of skeletonised movement - where the decoration doesn't intrude on the view of the mechanism - and I'd love to own something like that. But even if I won the Euromillions tonight, I wouldn't spend 0.3% of my newly-acquired wealth on one watch with no significant history.

Wait a minute.

Zero point three percent.

On the other hand, maybe I would.

I love the look of it but the price is not rational any way you look at it.

[shoppy]

I could think of a few patek's or VC that I would rather buy for that money, if I was single. As the wife would literally kill me if I spent that much.
