Prince Chuck is the winner for me as well. Trump wears a gold Rolex. Quelle Surprise!

I hope she likes it. She's not really a watch person, but she can just think of it as a pretty bracelet that tells time.

I think it's beautiful, especially for a watch inspired by a comic-book character.  My favorite part is the starbust pattern on the navy face.  It's stunning when you see it in person.

As an aside, as you get older you will find dark face watches easier to read. I doubt she would want to hear that.

Can’t tell that it’s an homage to a Marvel movie.  Nice.

I have a ridiculous hobby of purchasing original art from 1920s and 30s newspaper comics, and the site I often buy from has watches this week.

Thanks for the link Bubber. 

I like this one a lot!   Like wearing a Dali painting on your wrist!   Doesn’t take itself too seriously. 

Serious money though...   Current bid is $60k.

Would like to see the Dali up close. Some nice watches there, prices in USD I would assume.

Yes, USD plus 20% auction fee and shipping. An early Peanuts strip went for nearly $200k a couple of weeks ago, but that was just a little out of my league. That would be close to $300k Canadian when it's all said and done.
But I kind of liked the Hulk Rolex, as watches go.

I really like some of the Patek Philippe watches. The Eric Clapton one with the $350K bid is a bit steep.

One other thing I forgot to mention about the solar Citizen field watch...   it’s my beater watch, I wear it out in the woods, camping, fishing and places I wouldn’t wear any other watch, and it has less scratches and dings on it than some of the others watches I wear more carefully! 

There is not a scratch or ding showing on it.  It’s bulletproof.

What a waste of money.  I'd rather have a Lambo.
