Guy Takes $600,000 Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon 30 Degrees Technique Swimming, Resists Heart Attack

November 17, 2011

There seems to be a growing trend of really wealthy guys taking their really expensive watches swimming, photographing the experience with an iPhone, and then putting pictures online.?First, there was the guy who took a Patek Philippe 5970 underwater. Then the guy who tried to see if the $500,000+ Richard Mille RM027 Rafa Nadal would float, and now we've arrived here.Somebody had the brilliant idea of taking a Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon 30 Degrees Technique in platinum into the pool. This watch, in today's dollars, is $600,000.? The watch survived quite well as far as we can tell, but do you really think this was such a smart idea?? Fools and their money...(via)
