yeah, I'd agree with Erika - it must be purely a conversation piece. I've never even heard of this Romain watchmaker guy. It would cost alot less to buy a Rolex and wear that around, if displaying wealth were the main goal. Seems to me, anybody who'd buy this watch wants to put their I-think-outside-the-boxness on display. The fact that it costs 300 thou is just icing on the cake.
