hackR Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 this thread is not meant to highlight odd/ugly watches - but ones you actually find "intriguing/interesting", but would probably never buy for whatever reason...pls keep that mindset when posting... *********************************** for me, it's the Graham Overlord Mark III Limited Edition - green dial... there's just something about this watch i find "intriguing"...too pricey to get it just for fun... enjoy - R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 For me- Definitely an Alain Silberstein Bauhaus: I've always found this watch to be fun and interesting, but have never ventured further than just looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchlover1 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I love PAM watches but how many of us have a 8.5-9in wrists to wear the 60mm PAM? This is a very cool watch but as others said this will make a GREAT desk clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronos twin Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 probably a chaumet class one. It looks like it'd be worth a try, but not enough to care. And then there's the watch I always put off, which is the Roger Dubuis Chronoexel, which looks great, but always takes a back seat. I may regret not getting that one.

By-Tor Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 There are so many interesting watches that I would never buy/wear. Ulysse Nardin is that kind of brand. Very interesting and impressive watches but just too different for my conservative tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Cool topic. I thought seriously about the Concord C1 for a while. But decided while I think it looks really cool, I'd probably never wear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demsey Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Full gold 116520. @ hackR, I like the Overlord too. To me it looks like you're wearing D-Day on your wrist. Unfortunately, the only member that can pull this off out of the house is 'robertk'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Unfortunately, the only member that can pull this off out of the house is 'robertk'. Lani could pull it off! I believe he owns a few Grahams! I'm like MMA...Love the look of the Concord C1 and been tempted to buy it a few times, but always back off at the lat minute! I have tried the GEN at the Vegas Torneau........and I didn't really get the "feel"! Good Topic R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 +1 on the C1. It's a cool looking watch, but just can't pull it off. @Hike - your new animated avatar & sig are ridiculous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky1012 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Brilliant. I posted a few days ago about 3 watches I really want: Skyland Avenger Concord C1 Chaumet Class 1 Now you lot have peed on my bonfire well and truly with this post. 2 of my faves are on the list! I was also considering the Graham Overlord. Don't think I'll be posting a WTB anytime soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 For me, it would be the Tag Aquaracer. I love how it looks in photos, but when I tried one on, I didn't like it at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slask111 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I adore it, but could never use it in public... Maybe ill get it just to wear at home, it might just be worth it ;0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demsey Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 but when I tried one on, [sic] for two months, I didn't like it at all. Thank heaven I only paid $238 instead of $2,380!

slask111 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Is that possible? Didnt even think of that. Its a great idea, i need to look into this. thnx!

TeeJay Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ahhhhh, behold the power of replica.............. Cost wasn't even an issue with this one, I simply didn't like how high the thickness of the caseback set the front of the watch from the wrist when I tried it on. The link positioning, I would liken to wearing a Sub with the bracelet 'inside out'... Awesome in the photos, just not for me when I tried it on Is that possible? Didnt even think of that. Its a great idea, i need to look into this. thnx! It's very possible, as long as you can track down a dial Might be worth going with a no-date variant to avoid alignment issues with the datewheel, but I'd definitely recommend it as a project As long as you're happy de-casing a movement, and removing and replacing the hands, it's probably a 15 minute (if that) procedure The result, a watch which looks every bit as nice as a Submariner (and is still branded as a Submariner), but, as it lacks the R-Word on the dial, it flys completely under the radar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demsey Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I simply didn't like how high the thickness of the caseback set the front of the watch from the wrist when I tried it on. I know what you mean, my Planet Ocean Chrono is the same way. And I certainly could have offered that model up to this thread, but I do wear it. When I know I won't be between scores of people. I am sheepish of the size of it. Unlike the Aquaracer bracelet (as you describe it here) those Omega gen/rep bracelets? Nize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arty909 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Would love to own this- the gen is one of my grail watches: ...but 1) I don't think the gold color has been repped properly yet; and 2) I don't have the proper wardrobe to make it a believable accessory for me. Cheers! Arty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried the chrono variant of the Planet Oceans, but I'd definitely say that the Aquaracer sits further from the wrist than a regular Planet Ocean. For me, that was just a watch which I simply wouldn't wear at all, so I just appreciate the photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately life has come in the way for this hobby off mine but now i feel the urge, you know the neeeed to get that Tudor project going. Thnx alot for the inspiration TeeJay P.s Dont know if it will "fly under the radar" but that Tudor dial will get most ppl to shut up.

mbjoer Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 The Egi. The size is laughable, but if it was shrunk significantly it would look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I have looked at the Franck Muller "Crazy Hours" time and time agan, but it just never resonated enough to buy one. One reason is I have had several genuine and rep watches in Tonneau Cases, and the rectangular look just isn't for me. I admit, after seeing the Lume job that The Zigmeister did on that Crazy Hours. I'm tempted, but more interesting projects lie ahead. Arthur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
