I was walking down the street the other morning when this “gentleman” offered to sell me a Patek Nautilus. I said to him, “I would but I have no use for a submarine. Even if it does go twenty thousand leagues under the sea.” He gave me a funny look. Then he told me that he was selling watches. I posed the question, “Will it go twenty thousand leagues under the sea?” Now he looked agitated. He screamed, What is a league anyway?!” I thought for a minute. I looked around and then said very matter of fact, “I don’t know, but there are major ones and minor ones, and that watch better be able to handle twenty thousand of them or I’m not buying it.” He walked away mumbling to himself and tugging at his hair.

I see the jumbo Nautilus has a jumbo price. What kind of asshole pays $23,000 for a counterfeit watch?
For that matter, what kind of asshole pays that for the real thing?
