Men are oppressed by their wristwatches, but yours are different...? Huh?

From Playboy for November 1973.

If you are interested in watches there is a website called "Watch Time" and they have a pictorial database. Follow the LINK and you will see three columns. The left column is for makers. The middle column is for the models from the selected maker. Finally, the right column is the selected model. If you hover your cursor over a picture in the center column it will display a blow up picture. You can spend several days just going through the database.

Now for a serious case of "sticker shock". Select Patek Phillipe in the left column and scroll down the center column a bit to a pocket watch model called the "super complication". Now keep in mind that all the prices are in whole dollars. There is no cents place represented. Now catch your breath and get two from your petty cash.
