"Oh my God... I think I've just seen the best thing in the world", writes Tommy Walker III. He's just spotted this Seiko digital watch / drum machine, currently going for £28, but with six agonising days to go. "Arrghh!!!" writes Tommy. "You got any money? Get it!"
I think I played with one of these years ago, and remember it being great-looking (it has a second, LED, display on top) but hopeless. In the days before super-powered tiny mobile phone speakers, it sounded like a drum machine playing through someone's walkman headphones in the room next door. Still, it does look great (why don't real drum machines look like this?), and this website about the watch: a) Is in Japanese, b) Contains pictures of the watch after it's been taken to bits, c) Also has a picture of a matching yellow Lamborghini Countach. Sweet!
UPDATE: The watch went for £400! That's the power of blogging, I guess. Sorry, Tommy...
