It's great

We all know Ed's always on the crapper, we don't need to actually see it.

So Groupon is offering a $1500 Studer Schild watch for $100.

Surely that can't be. Didn't think Groupon sold knock-offs.

Thoughts?

It's a con.

Oops, I thought you were asking about groupon, rather than the watch.

There seems to be an abundance of "luxury" watches that try to look fancy and give themselves an expensive sounding name:

Their trick seems to be to set a high base price and then sell them at "80% off" on places like Amazon which is probably still overpriced.

Yeah, couldn't you get a better time piece by just buying a basic $150-200 model from the likes of Seiko etc.

Generation Assburger.  Get a watch.

Generation X = Boomers who just don't have as much cancer and heart disease yet.  They've called them a silent generation.  If only.

Never took to wearing watches, but then, I was never in a hurry to go anywhere.  Also don't have a cell phone.

I like wearing a watch. Men don't really get to wear other jewelry (unless they're Persian kings).
