De Beers made them a number of years ago

JJ Irani · 17 June 2008, 04:23 AM

It depends how big it is.

If it is very small it will just be very expensive. If it is huge then Mark's second name must by Rockefeller, Rothschild or Warburg.

Markg · 22 June 2008, 05:34 AM

it cost less than a SS daytona (MSRP), but i got it about 10 years ago, so who knows...

stands about 6" tall + 1" base (desk toy), has about 2000 1.5pt (tiny) diamonds

bought it for a client, but ended up keeping it...a long story.

now it just sits on my desk, and anytime i feel someone is wasting my time, i flip it over and watch them fall...

Thani · 29 June 2008, 07:42 PM

that is so cool..

myvan · 5 March 2009, 08:39 PM

Latrodectus · 6 March 2009, 02:43 AM

wow, resurected an almost year old thread.....

per that web site the price has more than tripled in the last 8 years.

maybe its because they havent been made for 7+ years...no other reason, theyre just 1.5pt diamonds (ie tiny)

oneillba · 6 March 2009, 04:21 AM

I'm sure those are diamonds inside, therefore I wonder how long it takes them to etch the glass so it begins to appear frosted in the narrow part of the timer.

8 years and counting, and no etching yet!

Rebel · 6 March 2009, 07:30 AM

Do you prefer it on a NATO strap in the summer (ha ha).

Markg · 7 March 2009, 03:37 AM

and you dont have to change batteries like rolex....(at least the ones i see on ebay)

Trurolexer · 7 March 2009, 09:18 PM

hflee55 · 21 March 2009, 11:12 AM

lavaman · 12 December 2009, 10:51 AM

That's kinda cool!

Looks like something the villan in a Bond flick would have on his under-the-volcano hidden lair.

mopsey · 12 December 2009, 11:06 AM

I like that a lot.
Surely a mortgage for most of us.

The bloke who can afford something like that, would still use his full gold Patek to tell the correct time!!

snow_rocks · 13 December 2009, 09:34 AM

Does it run -4 to +6 diamonds in a 24 hour period?

How do you regulate it?

bewithabob · 16 February 2010, 03:51 AM

Must be difficult to put on a sport coat or a suit over the sleeve. Is rattrapante available
