3. The Office “100th Episode” watch
This one of a kind authentic VICTORINOX Swiss Army timepiece, inscribed with “THE OFFICE 100,” was presented to Rainn by the series creators and NBC to commemorate the show’s first 100 episodes.
Rainn says: “This was a cast and crew gift given by the producers for a Season 5 wrap gift. I never wore mine, but put it aside. I don’t wear Swiss Army because I don’t believe in the Swiss Army. If it were an Israeli or North Korean army watch, I would have worn it in a heartbeat!”

Ah, thank you, PF! — totally forgot about that.
I’ve now added the backstory to page 7.
:)
Oh, Konikotaka…
I really really really want the camera but I can’t afford the price. can I bid lower since no one has bid?
Hmm…anyone know why the most recent auction item was removed? The HD Flip video camera?
[from tanster: will be posted soon. sorry for the confusion!]
Oooh! I really wish I could afford it…I would pull a Dwight and say, “Six thousand…and one penny!” But, I’ll just have to dream…that’s a little out of a college student’s price range!
wow less than 24 hours left to bid on the set visit, and it looks like there has yet to be a single bid!
Wow I wish I could afford this! $6000 is just way too much :(
Too bad, I would absolutely LOVE to visit the set!
Rainn – awesome that you’re doing this! Thank you!
Awesome..but I kinda need 6-grand right now.
How about you film an exclusive Office Episode and charge fans $15 to view it.
I’d pay $15 to support Haiti and get an insider pass to my pals Michael & Dwight!
Great idea….for those who HAVE money! You should do a raffle type idea. You’d raise just as much cause many people would do it for a buck or two and it would give the common man a chance.
[from tanster: actually, we did look into doing this as a raffle first, but in the state of california, there were legal and logistical complications. good idea, though!]
Wow! What a great auction item! Someone is going to be very lucky- and happy. This was a great idea Rainn. I hope you raise millions with your auctions!
It says “Ni Hao” which means Hello in Chinese.
Obviously the mittens and the mufflers go in the Dunder Muffin bag.
muffins do sound better than mifflins! Obviously the people who made this had watched the pilot ;)
I want a Dunder Muffin. Sounds yummy. Or perverse.
i’m out of the loop… can someone explain the “dunder muffin” thing to me?
[from tanster: i believe it was a typo in manufacturing. makes it more valuable. ;) ]
Is this US only, or can I bid if I live in Sweden?
[from tanster: i just checked with rainn, and free international shipping is included!]
it says “ni hao le,” or “hello” in mandarin.
I love Creed. Love him.
(And WWW and SamHam — I get my computer back from the computer hospital next week! Can’t wait to catch up with DMI Marietta! Woot!)
“hello” in chinese!
