It's the interest paid on a loan to a loan shark; and it's very high.

Loan sharks are not nice people. They don't take no for an answer.

The back of link my grandmother’s watch is inscribed with her and my grandfather’s initials and wedding date, matching the inside link of her wedding band – which I wear on my left ring finger. The open periods between their initials have the same link cartoonish appeal as a Seamaster’s lollipop seconds hand.

There are many reasons I can think of for why a trained link contract killer like Jack would choose a Speedmaster. I would like to imagine that his line of work pays pretty well on a contract-to-contract basis though I have no intimate knowledge of such things I swear. So it wouldn't come as a shock to see him spending a piece of a big payday link on a new watch. Not just any watch however but a luxury link watch that balances the fancy with utility.
