SS is much more appealing to me than the gold version. Though at a much more affordable price I could buy it for GF as a present. I think the Edition watches look great in the pictures. And it would look great on the GF.

But even if it dropped to $1,000, that would be a pretty pricy present for the GF. I bought her a Macbook Pro once as a present, but that was much more justified as the utility level of it is much higher and she really needed an upgrade from the 2007 Macbook. If I thought she would really love the Edition at $1,000 it is conceivable. But I doubt she will want to wear a watch enough to get the use out of it to justify even a super cheap price.

The Edition is priced right for a luxury item. I'm not rich enough to play in that game or even in a much cheaper version of that game. But there are plenty of people who are. I can buy the Sport version though pretty easy. And I might buy the GF a sport version as well.
