got to ask - Why?
Why do watches still exist?

Anyway, more on the $100K watch here:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/style/trump-watch-likely-made-in-china-overpriced-1236013728/

From the link: “And you can pick up a Chinese tourbillon for $100.”

A quick look at eBay confirms this, lots of good looking tourbillon watches listed for sub $100.
