Is it me or is there no apparent connection between the watches and Star Wars apart from the picture of the box ?

Bamford makes some interesting watches. Awhile ago I emailed them and inquired about getting a black sub. I don't remember what the exact numbers were but it was 2 to 3 times of a brand new sub. It just does not make $$ sense to me.

I'm not sure what defines connection, but I would guess the color schemes.

My guess would be no, these should be considered fake watches.

I can't get over the fact that these are novelty items and they charge 2-3x over MSRP for them.
