Nothing with a larger Pedegree made in the last 100 years.

Fancy, but it's a one off outlier price wise.

Each Daniels is unique aren't they?


Sorry for OT but linked page also had this peeking out:-

Can't help thinking are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the island?

It's an amazing piece for sure, but for that sort of cash I would imagine you could own the entire Rolex catalogue and still have enough cash left over to buy a small yacht.

And walking around with that much money dangling off your waistcoat? No. Just, no.

Who is this clown daniels? He clearly ripped off the duometre. Probably a shabby recase job. Anyone who buys this is drinking the jack Daniels heavy.

Would have to be a real small boat Guessing you haven't been into a boatyard lately to price up a yacht big enough to go island hopping.

As for $3M... gee, out in the SG heartland just stop at any red traffic lights, wait for 12-15 cars to bankup before the lights go green... there's a $3M bunch of cars right there

Search YouTube for Daniels and his protege Robert W. Smith.

There are a ton of awesome interviews and even Smith in a multi part series making a gold watch case and dial from scratch.
