Is it just me or do you guys think this is a great watch spoiled?

Arrgh! No, it's not just you and yes that is a great watch spoiled.

(It's not for me that's for sure - but I daresay to each his own and there might be some TRF members who would find it appealing).

Psmith · 21 August 2009, 06:57 PM

The red bezel numbers are too much, methinks.

Also, PVD bracelets look NQR to me - better to use a leather strap with PVD buckle a la Panerai.

Cheers

It's totally ugly.

Joelmor · 21 August 2009, 09:01 PM

Yuck.

agw2872 · 21 August 2009, 09:11 PM

Yikes. Not my taste at all.

unclesallie · 21 August 2009, 09:15 PM

i know of no such bezel on a genuine Explorer II. the bezels are engraved in black hour markers on both the white and black face dials of the Exp. II. .......

Horrible. Just horrible.

Wink · 21 August 2009, 11:49 PM

It isn't just you. Simply put, the pictured watch is an abomination. I love my black dial Explorer II, and I find these alterations heretical.

Best,
Wink

No it's not just you!

watchbureau · 22 August 2009, 12:27 AM

Do not like - ruined in my mind

shandy · 22 August 2009, 12:30 AM

I am usually the first one to say, "hey, it's your watch you can do what you like with it" but...Noooooooo!

One of the main issues I have with Buggering up an almost faltless design like the classic Rolex's is that they all immediately look like cheap fakes you get from Canal street..This one looks just like what you would get out of a suitcase down their!

Christiaan · 22 August 2009, 12:52 AM

I wouldn't do it but it's very interesting.

tthopp05 · 22 August 2009, 01:04 AM

I like the black/red together,but I would not do it to my watch

daytona1 · 22 August 2009, 02:03 AM

Not my cup of tea.

DadsWatch72 · 22 August 2009, 02:49 AM

Its a bit much. Slightly over the top. I can see why the person that owns the watch might like that look, ie: They like those multi colored bands.

STEELINOX · 22 August 2009, 03:05 AM

i think its bufugly; but if you GAVE it to me, I could wear it to GTGs just to mess with peeps !

B. Doggy · 22 August 2009, 03:07 AM

Hideous!

JJ Irani · 22 August 2009, 03:08 AM

First that awful looking black colour and that followed by some multi-coloured cheap nylon POS........bring it on, buddy.....bring it on!!!

Most certainly.....YES!! Those kind of abominations should only be carried out on a RADO - no other watch in the world deserves to be treated like that!!!

Best response so far.

Beat me into unconsciousness with a shovel. Better yet, beat the person who thought up that hideous combination.
