Why wasnt this watch sold for millions..like the other one! Makes me wonder ,same celebrity ,same if not more usage ,worn during racing etc. Makes me wonder if everything was a publicity stunt. Raise the price buy it ourselfs back to have everyone believe our products are worth more then anything!Or even promoted to wear buy the company back then,well thats for sure !

AS149 CASIO!!

Perhaps the digital watches are less desirable than the mechanical ones.

The question here is not digital vs analog or anything ,is if this thing belong to a celebrity or not.
This could have been a mechanical one ,digital of course is more accurate when you count split seconds like sports etc.
To be honest yes i prefer mechanical pieces that why i am here !! LOL! And will continue to love them!
But thats not the issue here.You dont buy a mechanical watch fro accuracy but for taste and the masses for acceptance and recognition!

Usually the heavy price tag is for belonging to someone famous,what i am saying is that the ridiculous price for some things i believe is a stunt made by the sponsor in most cases!
Why for example Angeli's custom Fiat sold as much as his Ferrari ?Because both were his!!

Its sounded harder that i ment it to be !!LOL! :lol:
What i only meant to say is that such price tag usually can go the sky because there are famous or belonged to someone famous.
I heard rumors ,from inside shhhhhhhh at art dealers,auction house,that in many actions companies by their products from individuals anonymously through someone ealse ,to raise value of their goodies!! ;)
