And they say the economy isn't doing well...

...for some people anyway.
The rich folks, of course, are doing just fine.
The current issue of Esquire has a slew of ads for watches.
Rico says he has a love of watches, and owns several (and uses none of them, relying on the far-more-accurate clock on his iPhone), but there are watches and then there are watches, like the Quenttin RG, available from Jacob & Co. for a mere $440,000.

You read that right: a half a million bucks for a fucking watch...
Sure, a nice watch ("18k rose gold case with a black rubber bracelet. Fixed 18k rose gold bezel. Skeletal dial with luminous hands and fixed hour markers hour markers. Vertical mechanical movement. Scratch resistant sapphire crystal. Case diameter: 56 mm x 47 mm. Case thickness: 21.5 mm. Water resistant at 30 meters/100 feet."), but it's just something you hang on your wrist and hope some stupid kid with a gub doesn't take it off you one night.
Don't worry; if they're still paying to advertise a half-million-dollar watch, it ain't 1929...
