not just tat... imagine the $$$ he saved for not buying another watch all these decades :)

he's like those that hit the toto jackpot... though a lot less.  however, i think he has about USD100k where USD66k from the sales and the USD40k from the money he saved for not buying another watch :)

Just another link to the same story. The coolest pic of his would be the one showing Superman doing the dishes! :thumbsup: He should've just used his power to clean those in micro second. :Laughing_on_floor:
