What do you mean by real?

Sure it's a "real" watch but was it manufactured by Rolex that way?

It will be worth only what someone is willing to pay for it. If money were no object, I would go the 70,000 easily

Wonder what it takes money wise and/or approval red tape wise to get Rolex to approve something like this...assuming the police went through proper channels?

I've been searching for the Detroit Water & Sewage reference commissioned during a recent administration a few years back.

Wow Birky! Where'd you get that? Pics of caseback?
The rehaut looks kind of wokky for some reason...
Maybe camera angle?

It sold for 57K CHF. I have seen them trade as high as 80K. They are highly sought after. Here are the Lot notes:

Wow! What's up with that bezel insert? Looks like it was filed down to fit!

Just found out about this model. The price is outlandish but I can see this doing very well in the auction scene (hence the Christie's reference).

This is also where I have chosen to put my first post o.0
