I kinda like it....and I hate black watches. The green splash, the arabic, the lack of the sickeningly overused desk diver bezel.
When people say something is the ugliest rolex dial i am reminded of the old saying that the worst super bowl seat still gets you in the stadium.

That's why we don't all drive black Fords.

Had them left over from the Explorer.

This watch, at every level, doesn't make sense.

The mish mash dial. The prior history of the air king kinda being the former OP but is now a sports watch? It's an AIR king paying homage to a failed land speed record.

The anti magnetic case... for what?

But... if you are a fan of oddballs, this is the one to get!

To me, the ugliest dials are:

1. the floral dial
2. the jubilee motif dial
3. the palm motif dial (especially in colors other than green)
4. Wimbledon dial

I also really dislike the mother of pearl dials for men's watches.
