So I'm reading about Francis Ford Coppola's timepiece and I gotta say, that armored hand thingy is wild 
! I mean, you don't often see a watch like that on the wrist of anyone, let alone a director with such an iconic film portfolio 
. It's definitely eye-catching and I can see why it would fetch top dollar at auction 
.But what really gets me is how Coppola's being so proactive about getting back on his feet after that flop
. Selling all those watches and going on a tour, promoting the film... he's not giving up . And I gotta respect that. It takes a lot of guts to keep pushing forward when things aren't going your way 
.I'm curious, though - does anyone really want to buy one of these super-expensive timepieces just because it's got Coppola's name on it?
Or are we looking at this as more of an art collectible kinda deal? 
Either way, I think it's cool that he's willing to share a piece of himself with the world 
.
