Come on... Be Honest now.. who will be buying one !!!!!!!!!!!

A WATCH to mark the 40th anniversary of the first Moon landing next year is made partly from MOON DUST.

The soil is being used to coat the watch’s face.

The timepiece’s casing also includes tiny parts of Apollo 11, the spacecraft in the historic mission.

Just 1,969 of the watches are being made, reflecting the year of Neil Armstrong’s Moon walk.

And the price is astronomical — starting at £10,000 and rocketing up to £300,000.

A spokeswoman for makers Romain Jerome of Geneva, Switzerland, said: “We cannot comment about where we got the moon dust from.”

Designer Yvan Arpa said: “We think space exploration fans and people who are passionate about the Moon will want one of these.

“Of course, they will need a little bit of money as well.”

Britexpat...considering the current credit crunch they might not have houses...but people still continue to throw money down the drain like it's water. But that amount on a watch is a bit silly really...

We live in the market Brit !!

Doha has some of the highest sales for the crazy expensive watches.. You have guys who wouldn't wear anything below a 6digit price tag...

Unlike the rest of us ........
