Excellent! Burns's Guide to Extravagance: A Rolex Fit for a Billionaire (Or Me!)

Smithers Fetch My Checkbook!

Bah! Another trinket for the masses to drool over. A platinum Rolex Daytona you say? Made in '99 long before those commoners even knew platinum was an option? Excellent! It seems even those Swiss clockmakers understand the value of exclusivity. Perhaps I'll bid on it myself. It would look smashing next to my radium powered watch! It seems this bauble is expected to fetch up to $1.7 million. Pocket change! I once paid more than that for a cup of coffee brewed by a unicorn.

A Heiniger Conspiracy You Say?

Ah Patrick Heiniger a man after my own heart – secrecy and growth. He turned Rolex into a luxury icon. I respect that even though my own image is more of an evil genius. The rumor mill is churning claiming Heiniger himself might have commissioned it. A delightful twist! Though this 'Reiser' fellow casts doubt on the claim. Still the mere whiff of conspiracy adds to the value wouldn't you agree Smithers? Release the robotic Richard Simmons I need to celebrate!

Diamonds Are a Billionaire's Best Friend

Diamonds you say? Placed delicately upon a mother of pearl face? I'm starting to drool like Homer Simpson at an all you can eat donut buffet. This isn't just a watch; it's a statement. A statement that screams 'I'm richer than you and I have impeccable taste!' And let’s be honest that’s a statement worth millions. More than I pay my employees in a decade.

Exclusivity: The Burns's Way

Only four of these exist crafted for a single family? And this is the last one to be sold? The exclusivity is intoxicating! It's like owning the only copy of my autobiography… which coincidentally is locked away where no one can ever read it. The price is sure to skyrocket much like my property taxes! Although I have a 'strategy' to deal with that. Muhahaha!

Investing in Time (And Power)

Apparently these trinkets are now considered 'investments.' Preposterous! I invest in things that truly matter like controlling the local power grid and influencing politicians. Though I suppose owning a rare timepiece does send a message. A message that says 'I can afford to waste money on frivolous items while you toil away your miserable existence.'

Release the Hounds... to Get Me That Watch!

So watches are up 125% over the last decade eh? Even with a slight slowdown. Excellent. I'll need to corner the market. Smithers start buying up all the antique shops in Geneva. And make sure those 'younger buyers' don't get any ideas. A few… 'strategic acquisitions' of competing bidders will also be necessary. Now where's that checkbook? And someone get me a fainting couch. All this excitement is quite draining. Release the hounds!
