500K for a vintage Patek?

I rather have a Wagner card (I hear he had one of these too)

FWIW, I would prefer to have a Wagner also.

Bill- with each of your posts you are sounding more and more like Charlie Sheen himself.

Kevin- it's hard for me to conceive that a 500K wristwatch even exists. I mean, all it does is tell time. I bet neither Bill Gates or Warren Buffett would ever spend that much for a watch. That's just insane.

I'm sure watch collectors would think similarly about a baseball card.

[barrysloate]

I think similarly too. I think paying 500K for a baseball card is equally nuts...except if I happen to be selling it.

Charlie may very well not be on drugs...From a few experiences, the occasional sober addict will actually get to big for themselves. What happens is that the person will be too "proud" of their sobriety, and get the better than everyone else, I'm always right, type of mindset. Many times these people will become bored and do some very risky or crazy things, and they will justify it in their heads, that they can do anything they want as long as they stay sober. Often times the same mental disorder that causes this type of activity is also the same disorder that fueled their addiction to begin with. Charlie may very well be the most extreme case of this ever..

Considering there's alot of celebrities that act like this to begin with, I'm guessing Charlie's behavior has to do with BOTH, his celebrity and alleged sobriety as a result of some mental disorder. I think Leon is probably right in guessing that he's Bi-Polar.

He didn't appear that he wasnt on an Opiate, ever see people on Oxy's? Even when it is dark look at everyone's pupils, you can pick a junkie out no problem. As far as his act, the nuttier he acts the more people who want to watch his every move, if he needs drugs to keep that up, he is gonna be in trouble. He has never been a straight laced guy, and aside from the drug use I think he will be fine. If he truly can kick the drugs, best of luck to him and his goddesses

That's an interesting observation Barry.

Rather than further respond to one particular poster in this thread I will just follow the first Mark Twain quote in my signature file.
The quote is not referring to all the posters on this thread, just one in particular.
I just know I would rather have spent one day with Mark Twain than a lifetime with Charlie Sheen.
Sheen's demons are way too much for me.

I agree, but for some reason, I think that one day hanging with Charlie would be one hell of a fun time though...

Is Bill Rowett Charlie Sheen?

Depends on what u consider fun...smoking 7 gram crack rocks, stroking your own ego, belittling women, etc.

Yeah, having your kids removed from your home by Law Enforcement, belittling any female who gets within 20 feet of you, scaring many females who get within 20 feet of you, scaring the hell out of your family and friends,,, fun time ??? Not my definition.

I was thinking the exact same thing.
