If it is very small it will just be very expensive. If it is huge then Mark's second name must by Rockefeller, Rothschild or Warburg.

it cost less than a SS daytona (MSRP), but i got it about 10 years ago, so who knows...
stands about 6" tall + 1" base (desk toy), has about 2000 1.5pt (tiny) diamonds bought it for a client, but ended up keeping it...a long story. now it just sits on my desk, and anytime i feel someone is wasting my time, i flip it over and watch them fall... |

wow, resurected an almost year old thread..... per that web site the price has more than tripled in the last 8 years. maybe its because they havent been made for 7+ years...no other reason, theyre just 1.5pt diamonds (ie tiny) |

I'm sure those are diamonds inside, therefore I wonder how long it takes them to etch the glass so it begins to appear frosted in the narrow part of the timer.

That's kinda cool!
Looks like something the villan in a Bond flick would have on his under-the-volcano hidden lair. "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die!" |

I like that a lot.
Surely a mortgage for most of us. Just an aside, and i apologise for being a pedant, but 'favourite' is spelt with a 'u'. Pulls coat over his head and hides

The bloke who can afford something like that, would still use his full gold Patek to tell the correct time!!
