This One-Off RJ-Romain Jerome Pokémon Watch Costs Almost $260,000

If you head into pretty much any toy store on the face of this planet you'll probably be able to pick up a Pokémon-themed watch for loose change, and while that might be enough for most fans of the series, it's good to know that those with more money than sense have other options.
