Saw this to-day while being dragged around by the wife in a local Mall, 'mmm', I said, got a birthday & chrissie thingo coming up (birthday 27/12 or 12/27 for you yanks) & that would be 'Noice'.

Yeah, Its kind of expensive & I've always been a bit hard on my watches, they tend to get knocked around, so I have always had the ones from the cheapo rack. But this thing really is the business as far as representing the Moto GP, although the full face helmet box is kind of tacky(ish).
My wife is getting an inheritance of about $40000 in the not to distant future. But it means me being nice for a few weeks straight & I'm afraid I'm pretty much in the grumpy old bastard category these days.

I've seen and handled the last three that have come out, and they really are nice watches.
You can buy them on e-Bay UK for around 900 pounds for the latest, and there are earlier models still available even cheaper. The watch without the fancy box and stuff is around 400 pounds on e-Bay.
Nice work if you can afford one, Pacemaker !

Expensive is all relative ..besides people pay £5,000 for Rolexes and things like that ..your £700 -£800 watch sounds cheap by comparison and if its something you love and really want then sometimes after a life of being careful you should just say "stuff it" once in a while and get what YOU want .. get it and keep the cheapo watches for DIYing in then you keep that one scratch free :-)
