The Zenith Men's 96.0529.4035/51.M Defy Xtreme Tourbillon Titanium Chronograph Watch retails for $145,000 but on Amazon.com, it can be had for "just" $86,999.99, which makes it a "bargain" on the world's leading e-commerce site. That's prompted some watch enthusiasts and/or aspiring writers to have a little fun; they've taken to penning a bunch of tongue-in-cheek reviews that left us crying uncle with laughter. If you have a few minutes or need a good laugh, take a gander. They're priceless. Thanks to our friend Clarence Kwei for the tip.

New York—With the help of Zenith watch brand, Andy Summers of legendary rock band The Police showed off a photo series of his candid, behind-the-scenes shots from the band’s early days during an invite-only reception held in New York at the end of October. Revelers at the event, held at the über-trendy Milk Studios in Manhattan’s Chelsea district, included fans, artists, models, musicians, and friends of Summers and Zenith, who served as host of the exhibition. Included among the black-and-white photo series was an exclusive shot that Summers took of Zenith’s “Defy Classic Open” watch. In the photo, the timepiece hovers above a guitar resting on a backdrop of sheet music. The timepiece, featuring a black strap and face as well as a steel bezel, fits right into the two-toned scene. In honor of the Summers-Zenith partnership, Zenith North America President Paul Ziff presented Summers with a Zenith watch of his own. Original photograph of a Zenith “Defy Classic Open” watch by The Police’s drummer Andy Summers. “As an acclaimed professional artist in two distinct areas, Andy Summers embodies the spirit of Zenith,” Ziff said in a statement. “That he is incredibly talented, versatile and a true Renaissance man is abundantly obvious. That he exudes a style and manner that is both warm and gracious is his gift. We are very proud to have Mr. Summers wearing a Zenith timepiece.” As for further proof that The Police legacy continues to live on: The band rocked two sold-out shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden concurrent with the photo exhibition.
