Very nice beast! URWERK creates some fascinating timepieces. They have that futuristic look to them. About what size does that compare to?

That thing is crazy looking! I rarely have anyone notice my Rolex, but I bet you get some serious inquiries when wearing that. It looks like something out of Transformers. I dig it!

No offense intended

That picture does not do the watch any justice whatsoever

WTF that is an awesome watch, can you even call that a watch?

Does the minute hand retract back into the square that houses the hour markers?

URwerk-in' hard to impress with that bad boy! WoW

The fella I bought my GMT-II off of had a URWERK. Awesome Awesome Awesome watch. That's a watch that can make a "non watch" person even sit up and say WHOA.

Great Watch, but your LEAFS totally stole one last night in Tampa! Booo!

My God! Are you sure that isn't one of those vacuums that sweeps the floor itself? Just kidding, it's definitely cutting edge, and there's something to be said for that. My Datejust just fainted.

Congratulations on one of the coolest watches out there. I can see that you truly appreciate the technical edge of watches. Both Urwerk's are very unique. One day when I grow up AND sell the house I might consider it!

Thanks for the pics and enjoy one heck of a time piece!!!

It's different and looks ok for $38.

Was that on Ebay or did you buy it locally?
