Porsche Design Watch Is Yours For $270,000

i know there is a watch forum, but i am sure many wouldn`t have noticed this sweetie here:




http://www.thenational.ae/business/retail/this-porsche-always-gets-you-there-on-time

"A mix of 18-carat gold, titanium and rubber, only 50 of these Indicators have been made and just 11 at this price and stylish design"

even more expensive than a GT2RS

That's a hideous design for something that costs a quarter million dollars.

I like it, but not at that price.
Price it comparable to a Rolex with the same amount of gold, and maybe.

am I missing something? It's a watch right? Not even like Rolex presidential, it's just gold and titanium? Oh and rubber lol Nice watch, 270K BWAHAHHAHA I have an iphone, not only does it allow me to talk to other people, give me directions when I'm lost, allow me to connect to the internet, but it also TELLS TIME!!! I know watches are basically like art and not really about telling time, but honestly, just because it's rare doesn't mean it should cost a lot. 18K gold for that price? I bet Porsche Design doesn't even have the courtesy to give you a reach around after making you bend over! lol

But think of the customer service people will give you when you take it in for repairs...

(Don't mind the laughs when they see that people actually bought one)

Absolutely true, customer service is outstanding!

I bought a limited edition P6612 4 years ago, been wearing it on a daily basis, literally everywhere (save the gym). It's been through African safari adventures, Caribbean beach excursions, track days... I can go on and on. Other than having to replace the strap a few times, one visit back for a recalibration, its an item that definitely stands the test of time/water/heat and the odd bump and scratch... and honestly its worth every penny!!! The PD brand is top notch!

...but a 270k price is a little extreme - LOL
If I had that type of cash in my back pocket I wouldn't be looking at a PD or a Rolex (Rolex's - which I think are soooo dated). I'd be in line for a Ullise Nardin!

The numbers on the face are too small for me. For $270K, I'd expect bigger numbers.
