Hey a watch that will do the scratching. I will say its kinda amazing but I don't like how it's shape and movement kinda borrows others designs.

Well I guess that might be a little out of my league and really not my style either.

I doubt that any billionaire will wear this hideous watch... maybe a rich rapper might wear this but definitely not a billionaire.. even a billionaire wife will think twice before wearing this watch.. lol.. shouldn't an $18 million dollar watch be made out of platinum rather than 18k wg...??

Some Background info on the man in the picture.

This watch is a "Spede" watch.

Should ask what the cost is for factory service on the watch.
