The Junkman Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Somebody has too much money on their hands. $280, 000 to be more precise. With the bonus of it being ugly too. Edited April 14, 2020 by The Junkman
jaymcminn Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 I'm a modest watch collector myself (about 15 watches, some very good vintage pieces, mostly automatics) and even if I had 280,000 spare dollars this monstrosity would never come anywhere near my wrist. I appreciate the technical achievement but just because you can do something doesn't mean you should!
Richard Bartrop Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 I suppose it's a little more eco-friendly than simply setting fire to a pile of 20s. As was pointed out in Jalopnik, you could get this Cadillac with a real V-16 for just shy of $210K, and I imagine you could get an original issue Visible V-8 and a pretty nice watch with the change. Or you could get this V-16 for $45K, and a house
Spex84 Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) I don't want to hate on things that are neato and built with care...but hoo boy. Sometimes, I just want a blobby year-2000 GPS unit with sparkly moving pistons inside to cradle on my hairless wrist while I make engine noises...ya know? 280 grand is a total steal for that kind of bliss and status. On a less snarky note, that patina'd ~'31 Cadillac V16 is sweet!! Edited April 14, 2020 by Spex84
Hotrod 97 Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 It looks interesting, and though I can respect the price tag for something so technical, paying $280K for a watch isn’t quite high on my to-do list. Although I could say that I got a Bugatti Chiron for under $300,000...
Roadrunner Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 I wouldn't pay that much for the car itself, ugly as it it.
Bugatti Fan Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) The car.....brilliant engineering. The watch..again brilliant engineering but......tasteless over expensive bling! No doubt far eastern copies will be available soon! Edited April 15, 2020 by Bugatti Fan
