Ingenious, but frankly ridiculous. That is one expensive game of travel poker when a pack of cards and some tiddlywinks would do the job even better.

It's a flop alright. Just needs picking up and throwing in the river with a high hand!

...and flushing away? I might have considered it but I have a full house in my watch box at the moment.

To own this watch, clearly you need to be a stud and flush. For me, it just makes me want to fold, turn and run :escape:

A purely mechanical movement that gives you 33,000 poker variations and rings a cathedral gong every time you push one of the pushers. That’s just amazing. :shock:
watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

Another eye-wateringly expensive, somewhat ridiculous but curiously fascinating (to me) offering is the Maestro Pantherophis. Only €96,000. Also available in green, as the Mamba.

Edit: price adjusted - 90% off.... typo sorry.
