I paid £1300 for my Titanium Citizen Satellite Wave, but to me it is
the ultimate watch as it gets its time from GPS anywhere in the

Some mugs will drop £5000 on a Rolex and they don't even show the
real time.


Neither of those are (sic) really ultimate. Get a Hoptroff.


£20000 for a radio controlled watch that loses its transmitter update
once you get 1000 km from Mainflingen?

What a load of cobblers - mine will still be accurate in Antarctica.


It only uses the radio for checks - it's an atomic clock.
