Just in case your Aston Martin DBS isn't enough
As if Aston Martin DBS owners don't feel enough like James Bond while driving, Aston Martin and luxury watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre have announced the AMVOX2 DBS transponder watch. The transponder watch will allow wannabe-007s to lock and unlock their DBS coupe by pressing the open and close positions respectively on the watch's glass.
The wristwatch features a prominent DBS logo, as well as bezel and dial details designed to reflect the gauges of the DBS. Aston Martin says the transponder module only adds a few grams to the weight of the watch and that the electronics inside have been shrunk to half the size of the same system in the DBS key.
For security and safety purposes, the transponder system can only be paired to the DBS at the dealership.
The AMVOX2 DBS transponder watch will be available in titanium or a very un-James-Bond pink gold this December and should add a whopping 27,500 euros (about $41,000) to the DBS's $262,000 suggested retail price.
As much as we like the idea of keyless entry hidden in a slick-looking watch, it'd be nice if the watch included more advanced smart-key tech, such as proximity detection or keyless start, or more 007-worth features, such as a laser cutter or remote detonator.

Some people have way too much money. Personally I'd need a net worth of about $3 mil before I even considered expensive toys like that.

I'm pretty sure I'd have to be pulling in about $1M annually to go out and buy a car of that value. Then I'd have a threesome.

You guys are crazy, you don't need a big salary or savings to afford something expensive, you just need good credit 
It worked for home buyers 2-4 years ago!
