Bentley SUV - Dash clock?

Anyone else see this $170,000 option on the new Bentley suv?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot




Not that I would ever be interested in an SUV that cost that much, but jeez, talk about excess....

They make four of those clocks a year. Talk about exclusive.

WOW... That is expensive but I actually like it.

$170,000 is over the top though. I can't see many customers ordering it.

With regards to Bentley and R-R. You either get "it" or you don't.
And if you can't afford a new R-R or Bentley you can't afford a used one either.

It looks gaudy and cheesy to me. I wouldnt want it even if thrown in by the dealer.

Now if it was a Patek with a perpetual mech calendar mebey

Sheeet, you can't even make a phone call with it. It does two things. Looks good and tells time. And costs lots of money. Three things.

Just a guess, with only 4 made, they will all be sold no problem.

Plenty of billionaires on the planet with spoiled kids wanting to show off.

A total of 1,645 people made the 2014 billionaire list, representing combined wealth of $6.4 trillion. Of those, a record 268 were newcomers, surpassing 2008's 226 newcomers. One hundred people listed in 2013 failed to make the list. The number of women on the list rose to a record 172 in 2014.

That's a lot of money for a Breitling, which isn't a watch you'd rank in the top 10 or 20 manufacturers on a good day, even if it is for a tourbillon and comes with a built in winder.

I'm reminded of the $10k Breguet that you could have ordered for a Lambo LM002, 30 years ago.

Gee, I wonder where Bentley got the idea....
