You Paid $30K for that Watch? Jackass!

PRINCETON â?? When RadosÅ?aw Sikorski, Polandâ??s foreign minister, went to Ukraine for talks last month, his Ukrainian counterparts reportedly laughed at him because he was wearing a Japanese quartz watch that cost only $165. A Ukrainian newspaper reported on the preferences of Ukrainian ministers, several of whom have watches that cost more than $30,000. Even a Communist member of Ukraineâ??s parliament, the Rada, was shown wearing a watch that retails for more than $6,000.
