Roger Waters’ estranged wife just wants her Rolex back

I have to admit that I get attached to my watches, too--even the El Cheapos.

A quarrel over a $35,000 watch nearly scuttled a multimillion-dollar divorce agreement between Pink Floyd legend Roger Waters and his estranged fourth wife, Laurie Durning.

“I want my watch. That’s all,” Durning said in Manhattan Supreme Court Thursday, just minutes before she was set to finalize her split from the famous British singer.

“What an a–hole you are,” she told Waters as the judge took the bench.

The “Comfortably Numb” rocker responded by putting his hands up by his shoulders as if to say, “What did I do?”

The bickering continued with Waters’ lawyer, Robert Dobrish, snapping at Durning, “It’s your watch. Pick it up at the store.”

Durning told the judge she had tried to retrieve her gold Daytona Rolex from the repair shop, but Rolex staff refused to release it because the luxury timepiece was being held in the name of Waters’ assistant.

“When I handed his personal stuff back to him, he should have handed me the watch,” Durning insisted.

Justice Lori Sattler ordered the parties to sign a second agreement, in addition to their divorce settlement, stating that the watch belonged to Durning.

Waters' musical contributions are indisputable, but I can't say that I have a lot of respect for the man.

Some states limit the number of marriages you can have. You're required to eventually figure out how to stay married, or quit getting married. He may not have too many free trials left.

I think his ex-band mates might agree as well.
