Does someone want to give me $1200?

Because I've been lusting after this watch for a while now, but I cannot bring myself to pay that much money for a glorified fashion accessory.

The size of the bump surrounding where the knob is kinda turns me off, but it is one of the nicer watches in this thread.

Like my big brother always used to say, "Time to get a watch."
iPhones show the time during a call.

But it's difficult to see a screen when your ear is covering it.

Oh, and that "bump" is not as big as it looks in that picture. (You would think that Movado, of all companies, would be sure that its products didn't look ugly in its promotional materials.)
