Its an in game item that you must purchase from CCP only. Its price would be that of a greater monocle. It would ONLY be awarded to an account that has stayed unsubbed for lets say a year and only at the END of that year. So you would purchase it for said account, unsub and not sub for a year and THEN you would have your gold retirement watch on your wrist for your character. If you sub sooner than that you lose the item itself.

Say $500-1000 item. Twisted

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

You could by a real gold (plated) watch with the money you save from not subbing for a year.

On a related note. Do people actually still wear watches? I thought that died out with the popularity of the mobile phone. I sure haven't worn one for a decade or more. But then, maybe I'm just more pragmatic than fashionable.

Even if you don't use one, wear one. It significantly increases the odds of a successful job interview. To the interviewer, a good looking watch (not a cheapo Spongebob one) carries a professional look and indirectly says that you are conscious of time (even if you aren't).

edit: just be sure your watch aesthetically matches any rings you are wearing. Details are important after all. Blink

I like a nice watch. Bought a Tissot one when in New York. Looks good, and funnily enough I wore it at a job interview. Got the job, so you're right! Big smile

If getting hired is dependent on wrist fashion, I wouldn't want the job anyway.
I came to my interview in dress pants, a button-up, and a hoodie.

Been looking for these answers. I've always had a big watch that I never wear. Multiples as that's what I sometimes asked to get for Christmas. I've always liked them, but nowadays I ogle at Urwerk watches and whatnot. THOSE are some clocks I tell ya.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

Mr Epeen Cool

I still wear a watch most of the time, easier to glance at my wrist than dig out my phone. Never understood why people decided to stop wearing watches just because their phones have clocks on them.

That had better be a real world solid gold watch and not some pixels.

Also, no.

I always liked watches, but wearing a watch became essential when I first started my national service and spent the first weeks at the Army boot camp. No mobile phones or any electronic device allowed for weeks on end. No TV, no radio, no nothing.

When you are training outside in the sun, in the snow and in the mud, and you are told to crawl through mud again in pouring rain with all the joints and muscles in the body aching, you really do want a watch on your wrist, because the only comfort you get is "XX more minutes to go, then it's lunch/dinner break", because in the army, no matter how harsh the training, one thing they religiously stick to in the army training camp is breakfast/lunch/dinner schedule :p

they don't even stick to the meals, we set up a command tent less about 300 yds from a dfac and wasn't allowed to eat breakfast or lunch, finally late afternoon they bring us an MRE for lunch. I quit wearing a watch because they kept breaking, not once have a broke a phone + when I got to South Korea my "leadership" would depend on texts all the time, even in emergency formations because the first thing I look at at 5am is my phone for a text.

If you want overpriced items go play ANNO they will gladly sell you a building for over $100
