Oh, how aptly named is TAG Huers new "Diamond Fiction" watch? Piece is so blingin' out you're obviously living in some celebrity fantasyland if think you could (or would) afford $120,000 worth ice. But just in case you were curious (don't act like you're not!), the thing's cup runneth over with 879 Top Wesselton diamonds (a total of 5.8 carats), which glow red atop red LEDs that display the time, and are also run down in positive and negative silhouettes of a city skyline. Sorry Dame, you got precisely no game on this biz.
bling bling :)
nice one, but i'd prefer it to be blue
Top Wessleton? Who uses that term anymore?
diamonds are found and produced for pennies, to dollars.. to think they still charge a f-n huge amount for them, there's a place in new york that monitors the sales of them, they have vaults of sh-loads of diamons, huge rip off.
...damn....
what does dame dash have to do with this watch?
Even if I had millions to spend, I would still not want this watch.
#3- If that's true, then just take a few "dollars" and go "find" some diamonds...
and yes, you would think they would have it glow in some other color. Like pink for women, or well, I can't imagine a man wanting to wear this...
This is going to be a knock-off available in every mall in America within months for just $6.99.
by a dollar he meens each, they dont spen 1 and find 1, they spend millions and find millions. It is true thta they basically have warehouses full of the stuff, but release them slow to hold the market high. its like they have a drawer full, and every month they take out a couple, put them on the table and say "you can have these". But its good for the jewler's themselves, if the market was flooded then they would go out of business to payless or no frills diamonds.
It takes more than a few pennies to produce diamonds. Having been to both of Canada's diamond mines I can attest to the billions of pennies required to operate and maintain a diamond mine.
Diamonds are overvalued--but decades of marketing hype ensure they will remain that way indefinitely.
