Bentley offering world?s most expensive in-car clock (http://www.cnbc.com/2015/09/18/bentley-offering-worlds-most-expensive-in-car-clock.html) :wtf:

If you're going to build the world's most expensive SUV, it might seem logical to offer the world's most expensive in-car clock, as well.

At least, that's what Bentley plans to do when it starts rolling out the new Bentayga in a few months.

The full-size ute, with its leather and wood-lined cabin, will start at $229,100 in the U.S., but the price can bump with a variety of options, including a Breitling Mulliner Tourbillon clock. (Tweet This)

While a final price hasn't been set, the watch is expected to come in at around 150,000 pounds, or roughly $234,000—which could make it more expensive than the "base" Bentley Bentayga. The maker justifies the price by explaining the clock has "the most complex of watch mechanisms."

In a car or SUV...no. On my wrist...maybe, but I'm still thrilled with the one on my wrist that I've had for 15 years. It's got exceptional movement. Having said that, it's due for shipping to my watch guy for a freshening. :yesnod:

I don't want bling in a car. I want "go fast" shit. A watch makes it heavier. I don't want it.

Having said all of that, the filthy rich will likely opt for it just for the bragging rights. :rolleyes:

For that kind of coin, I could probably just pay Flavor Flav to ride around with me all day.

Mr. White, I don't think Rolex makes a radio

I'm guessing it's the diamonds and gold in it. Just some bling.
