@mfladd: Beat me to it. It's beyond cool. I couldn't believe it when I saw this thing over on Fresh. I'm trying to think of whether there's anyone male that I like well enough to give them this.

@shrdlu: It's a good looking watch in addition to being a conversation starter.

@mfladd: agreed. I've never been a huge fan of large metal link watches, and this one definitely maintains the class while being slightly more subtle. (imho)

Too bad I absolutely despise watches that don't really assist in telling the time. Like a watch should. I don't like to estimate..."well it looks like it's about quarter to....5? wait...4? yeah...5."

Other than that, it's pretty neat

My good friend Lex Luthor would love this! Thanks!

If this is made from a meteroite won't it be magnatized? Does this thing go backwards??

I'd totally buy this, because it's a handsome looking watch, but if I did, it'd take away my powers.

Look at the description from the website. This actually seems pretty shady. This watch does not seem to be made from meteorite, and only looks like a meteorite. Here's the deal. Meteors are rare and expensive. You actually have to call these people if you want to buy one.

Note in the description: The watch displays the "pattern" of the meteorite. This doesn't mean it actually is a slice of the meteorite. The certificate of authenticity describes the meteorite, but the description does necessarily confirm that the watch is made from a meteorite. Variations seem to come from the quality of the leather band. I'm not convinced.

From the website:

These beautiful wristwatches display the wonderful Widmanstatten pattern of the Gibeon, Namibia iron meteorite. A great gift for someone who appreciates the truly unique. Includes Certificate of Authenticity describing the meteorite. Face measures approximately 1-3/8" across. Black leather bands will vary in design. Expect variation.

@jpoppe: Thats what I thought too. Emphasis on the "display the wonderful Widmanstatten pattern"...

Still an active deal!
