Then again, the Pope is protected by the Swiss Guards. So why shouldn't the Japanese Emperor be guarded by the Swiss Army.

I love the "Have one to sell?" invitation.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a sudden outpouring of such offers on Ebay?
Well, I've got a few Seiko boxes ;)

My favorite are the "frequently bought together". "We see you're buying some bulk toilet paper. Why not throw in a Speedmaster, Daytona, and some socks?"

Reminds me of my favorite Mitch Hedberg joke:

"An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an "Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order" sign, just "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.""

I briefly considered bidding on that one. I wonder if the bezel rotates and if so, what does that mean?
