I asked New why he was charging so much for the watch and he pointed out that itβs number 168, and special to Chinese
link collectors. Curious, I gave it a quick Google. "168" is pronounced in Mandarin as
link "yi lieu ba," which sounds very similar to "yi lu fa," meaning "one
link path to prosperity." In the Chinese tradition, it's believed that owning things with this number will bring you great fortune and luck.
