A bit understated for my liking, do you have anything with a bit more sparkle!!
Apparently the "Pig" has 890 diamonds

I wonder if CW made this how much would it be, estimate please Chris :D

I would estimate that Chris could do this for between $30,000-$38000.

Mebbe it could be the next LE.

I received this maths joke as a text last year. The actual incident was true btw:

"Huddersfield pie factory destroyed by fire. 3.14159265 people hurt."

I think Kip is probably right with his estimate of $30K for the $151K super bling Pig watch.
A price ratio of about 1:5 seems about right for CW vs other manufacturers of a super advertising, product placement type nature.

Another maths joke! :D

Here in Yorkshire pi only goes to 8 decimal places. Any more and it's just showing off. My Father and his Father before him didn't need any of that fancy infinity gubbins and neither do I.

Leaves us more time to concentrate on the more important pi. The one with pork in it that you have with piccalilli.

Mmmmm! Piccalilli!

Bloody practical Yorkshiremen!
(Pi to 15 decimal places will allow the construction of a circle around the whole universe to the accuracy of one hydorgen atom. So your 8 d.p. will probably be enough for all practical purposes, I'd guess!)

Mmmmm... Piccalilli
