People need to understand this is just money laundering.

[Dinnizzel]

Yeah man you can't convince me this isn't a form of laundering money 😂

[davidcrapnell]

The sickness of our materialistic society at its extreme being exposed here.

[ResmithSR]

Guys, Don't hate me for buying it. It was either this or a Gshock for $100.

[uncleruckus]

I could be a multi billionaire and never pay that out of principal y’all lost your mind

[burciagajavierf]

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen

[nautaki]

I guess many people have a problem with the buyer spending that kind of money and not using them for a different noble cause. Nobody seems to be complaining for the seller who pocketed that money? Why not go after him?

[Iwalkaroundatnighyt]

and they try and say they are not crazy

[rowdyrager-]

Crazy. To have so much money... clearly different kind of people. Money changes your and not always for the better

Man, props to buyer because items with history will appreciate value with time. Especially for antiques and inflation. Let’s say we use the appreciation of homes for this watch, in 20 years it will increase in value to 22.3 Million but for having it connected to one of the biggest watch companys’ history. Then the appreciation percentage may be greater for it as AADLA said it can be minimum of 8% for thousands of years historic antiquities. Therefore, it can theoretically go up to 69 Million in 20 years(just playing with numbers and will be lower). Which is crazy if it was an old thousand year antique!

And 25-30% buyer's premium on top.

While kids somewhere are begging for a tin of beans.

[warlordop]

So many jealous haters 😂 nahhh don’t tell me you wouldn’t do the same thing if you were rich asf

[surfcathy]

Yet our military troops are homeless 🤔 !!!

[thetormentr]

him not saying “sold!” after the “going once, going twice…” just made my bones itch for some reason

[charlespalacios]

Money doesn't buy happiness, it buys crazy amount of happiness

[conor]

That buyer got a great watch that they can wear everyday and be proud of. Congratulations, sir / ma'am.

[marybethunger]

For a watch... maybe they could help Oprah with Hawaii.

[milmel]

The first person who yells 10 mils def a worker there😂

[petesahad]

Imagine paying 15mill for a used watch while people starve to death.
