Well anyone can tell that the time is not set to the '10 minutes to 2 o'clock' position as required by the International Wristwatch Advertisers Societe' standards and as such is clearly a pirated photo. Also the hour hand is pointed to the '55' mark which signifies a subliminal attempt by the federal gov't to build support for lower speed limits, higher gas taxes and boring cars. (Well, it could have been, if they were that smart)
How much do you think this watch will sell for? Amazingly, you probably guessed too low. $33,710 for the platinum version, $20,172 for the white-gold.
It's not a watch. It's a chronograph. But it really is just the VW model with a new face. The lower half of the band looks messed up. I should get a life.
The metaphorical time is all wrong. For Chrysler the time has gone past midnight. GM is at about one minute to midnight. I'm not sure how close Audi is to the hour of doom, but it can't be far away. As part the VW-Porsche merger, the fallout from all the hedge fund fornication will hit them sooner rather than later. The watch should be at about ten to twelve.
