Corum Rolls Royce.

Corum think have lost the plot with this one,but you have to admire Corum sometimes for their bold,innovative watch designs
They have got balls for sure, to bring this horological atrocity to public view.

Corum Rolls Royce.and over $7000

If they'd do an Alfa version, then maybe... Nah.

Of couse, has Corum produced anything classy in the modern era? :-(

This not new, I think? But they must have had the green light from RR, for using the name. What is the message they want to convey with this, ehhh, watch?

No, because this defies all logic. Corum are not a Far East based counterfit operation. Bringing this watch to market takes a lot of effort and RR would come down on them like a ton of bricks because it is in their catalogue. I'm sure RR are in the game

You guys do know that Corum made a variety of mens and womens Rolls Royce model for many years, going back to the '80s, right?

As an Englishman.......

I am absolutely disgusted at the very existence of such an excruciating example of tasteless vulgarity, in association with a (once great) motor car.

But seriously, what a fugly piece of utter sh*t! - anyone who even considers buying one should be instantly sent to an institution for the mentally unstable

I'll offer you $10, but I'm only being generous cuz you're a friend.

BTW, I took my daughter to the Tulip Festival last night (since it's going to rain for the forecastable future) and snapped a bunch of pix of the beautiful Dutch flowers. I'll download tonight or tomorrow and post them.

I have become really disappointed with Corum. IMO they stopped making good looking watches after they produced this one in the '60s.
