I think you guys are missing the point.

It's like our passion in watches.Why do we pay thousands of ringgit to buy watches that we see in this forum?
A casio which cost only a few hundreds can tell the time just as accurate as a few hundred thousands ones,right?
We pay those thousands to buy our watches not just to tell time,like I said if it is,than get a casio.

So I think the value is in the exclusivity and the emotions that goes with our beloved interest in watches.

If a "watch" does not tell time, can you call it a watch?

Can you say something is a handphone if it cannot make or recieve calls??  :Confused:

The title of this thread reads,"USD30,000 for a WATCH that does not tell time"

So weather or not I call this particular work a "watch" is immaterial,you can't literally used the word "watch" in this instance.
As stated in the article,it is just to make a statement.

Please read the article again if you don't fully grasp what the author is trying to say.
