Well it’s worth at least around $60

That’s a wristwatch dude

They sell (or used to sell them) as souvenirs in Switzerland. I was there recently and went to several vintage watch shops and saw these. They’re usually unremarkable watches with a gram of gold stuck to them. It’s possible that it’s a perfectly decent quality watch and if you like it wear it.

Time is money I guess.

You can Google for "corum gold bar watch", there are a few of them.

Looks like criterium was some sort of fund before it lost its money

Put their money into Kingate Global/Euro, which in its own terms was a feeder fund for Bernie Madoffs securities firm and went bust when Madoff did, and (I think) is still in liquidation till today.

Just slap a bit of gold on it and voila it's a luxury watch! 😆

It's like asking for dressing on the side!

The gold bar tells you when its time to sleep and a reminder that you need to get your ass to work tomorrow

I kind of like it

Unique. I’d hang onto it

Now that’s just lazy! Couldn’t even take the time to melt down the gold to use for gold plating.

A lot of these watches where given out on promotion to employees. I’ve seen the same with the cigar product brand colibri. They made a square watch with a gold bar fitted to the dial in the same manor. Watches with the same concept have been posted on the page before.
