I have lots of watches but very little jewelry. Other than the ring already covered and the countless cheap digital watches and the Rulex bought as a trinket on my only trip to New York to see David Lettermen, no mas on the fine jewelry. Then for Christmas, I got this wonderfully quartz pierre cardin trinket.

Oooooooohhhhh. Wow. Genuine Diamond. It's in a nice velvet box as well. It's quartz. I never bothered to put a new battery in it. It's got a leatherette band and would have broken off years ago. I think I chose to wear this once or twice. That was it. Look at that GENUINE Diamond. Chip off the old coal puck.

Closeups of the "alleged" Genuine Diamond. It does stick it's head out in a sea of black and make it say "Come, rip me off. I'm worth $9.99!" Ahhh, it's safely at rest in my button box. Actually, I'm proud to own this. It's my only Genuine Diamond.

Pierre Cardin. Aren't they the famous maker of clothes and expensive "Eau De Toillette?" I did but some PC for the moms a few Christmas's. I tooled to the Westgate Higbees and spent whatever little money I'd saved from shlepping french fries to buy a bottle. Aha! I'm assuming that, and this is only an assumption, that this "fine" watch may have been a cheap get when you bought some of the PC crap. Hmmmm.

Get this! How to set this watch. No it doesn't have date. No, it doesn't have a stop watch. No, It's not a phone, it doesn't have lights and it isn't a motor car. Not a single luxury. It's like Robinson Crusoe. Primitive as can be.  I like the fact that you spend $5.00 to get this beauty repaired and make sure you insure it for ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Because if some hot shot USPS goes off half cocked and stows this in his hoarding house for ten years, you may never see it again. Genuine QUARTZ. Maybe that's worth ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

Imagine, they won't even return the box. They would keep the box! I love the box. It clamps shut with a nice "click". I think the box was worth more than the watch. How could it be? Genuine DIAMOND and genuine QUARTZ movement. That's a double rare earth watch! Plus a STAINLESS STEEL back! A man BUILT THIS! It's a WATCH. It's GENUINE. It's not spelled "Rulex" or have a glued on crown.  Great shot by my Kodak camera. It's an Easy Share with a Bill Kreutzmann lens. He was making lenses in-between drumming gigs for the Grateful Dead. That's all. ONE MILLION DOLLARS. One million bottle bags count em'. Public Enemy is back! Nahh, this is too small for Flavor Flav.

ARF! -Ric
