This is a nice pic! I think there something beautiful and something ugly about this watch at the same time. Overall, i personally like it somehow!

Not sure who named it that but I certainly do not agree. I think it's a beautiful watch and if I could afford it, I would have one.

I probably would agree the dial is a bit too busy but I wouldn't call it ugly.

10:10:27 in the picture shown. Kind of like having a stick dial. If you can drive a yacht, you can tell time.

It is a bit different, but most people put it down because they simply couldn't bank roll it. I would buy it if I could afford it.

It'd still be awful priced at £500


Sounds like Jocke should have christened it the Clownmaster, hang on a minute I think he did lol

I am guilty of using the term "clownmaster" a lot, especially in recent posts. But I was not the member who originally coined this term.
Anyone here wish to take ownership of that name?

Not me. It was like that when I got here! But since this is one of those "love" threads...

BTW, neither photo is mine. They did come off TRF somewhere, though, I just don't remember where or from whom. I've had a minor motherboard failure since then.

Come to think of it. the first pic might be from Jocke!

Ivy,

I have tried it on 3 - 4 time now and I think it is excellent.

IMO you seem to dislike this watch but I like the watch and you like the jacket - that's fair.
