Well, we already know you’re a bampot ;) , but no, it’s not wise at all. It’s a bloody terrible idea, as Sturgeon & Murrell have demonstrated. Call me cynical, but I can’t help but be a little skeptical that Sturgeon was completely oblivious of her husband’s - ahem- illicit acquisition practices. As to the cause of their marriage break-up, well, who knows ? :|

Half a million spread over 12 years is fuck all to people as rich as them, so it's possible she knew nothing, but that doesn't mean she didn't. We may never know for sure.

Of all the luxury brands there are, watches is the one I understand least. If smart clothes or fast cars are your thing fine, look smart and drive fast. But no matter how much it costs, to me a watch is always a watch. It looks no different and tells the time exactly as well no matter how much it costs.
