Ugliest Rolex..?

Who would do this to their watch?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-VINTAG...item3f389f79d7

It looks like someone let their kid draw on the dial...

Wow!!!
There should be a Humane Society for Rolex
When someone sees a Rolex abused like that it's removed from the abusive environment and placed in a non abusive home. The was just butt freakin ugly.

Perhaps owned by a Tong or Triad crime lord. Or maybe it actually a Chinese clone.

I really tend to dislike anything that bashes anything. I just don't see the value or the point.

I'm sure I've done it, but I'm also sure I was disappointed with myself afterwards.

Just threw up in my mouth a little. Perhaps it belongs to a low class, wanna-be Karate instructor?

Sigh. Ok.

I won't be checking back in. I just don't get it. And I don't want to.

I do however, hope the bashing helps the bashers in whatever capacity nevessary.

Yeah. Turns out to be the sickest watch in creation. IMHO anyway.

Edit: sick meaning most amazing.

I'd wear this faster than I'd wear a TT Serti Dial Sub. If the topic is 'What's the ugliest Rolex in your opinion', that's mine.

It's different for sure, perhaps some symbolic meaning which may make sense.

I like it in a kind of 1970s, Enter the Dragon kind of way. I'd wear it. Rolex makes way uglier watches than that.
