So I started to wonder what I could buy for that type of money if I didn’t want to put it in on a watch. I started with a car…a fast car. Could I buy a Ferrari with $260K? Well it so happens I could pick up a nice 2008 F430 for around $230+taxes.

Well if I could get some fancy Italian sports car maybe I could get something nice to fly me around the country in then? Not so fast, I quickly found out airplanes are a bit more expensive. This 1994 Learjet would set me back a cool $3,000,000. Yes that has six zero’s and it is old and used! Well I don’t know how to fly anyways so I’ll stick to the ground.

Which brought me to the final purchase. How about a nice investment into property! Oprah said buy land because God isn’t creating more earth. So what could I get for my money here in good old Salt Lake City Utah? Well not much I found out. Especially if I care what neighborhood I live in. This Bungalo/Cottage style Single Family Home built in 1949 has 4 bedrooms, 2.00 baths and is approximately 1810 sq. ft. Rooms include: Family Room/Den, 1 Semi Formal Dining, a basement Family Room/Den, Basement Laundry and includes other features like: Dishwasher, Disposal, Hardwood Floors, Free Standing Range Oven, and Vaulted Ceilings all on 0.20 acres of Earth. At $259,000 you definitely need a garage to hide your car off the street.

Watches have always been the weakness of man.  This watch is definitely a heavy hitter and not meant for average Joe.  This is more art made into machine and can be respected as one very fine time piece when you understand the craftsmanship that has gon into the building of this watch.  So with that said, I think I will wait for the lottery and leave this watch for a true art lover.
