That is a very nice watch. Is it worth $110k though? I’m not too sure about that. There are a lot of very nice watches out there, including Breitlings, Mont Blanc, Tudors, and Cartiers. Although that Rolex is quite rare, it is actually quite plain and I really don’t think it warrants that price tag. I’d prefer to buy a nice Breitling AS WELL AS a Range Rover to go with!
