Titanic DNA now available

[andreww]

I know that a lot of guys didn't like this one, but I appreciate the historic relevance of this one, having been interested in the Titanic for the better part of my life. Josh has posted the rose gold version and a rather terrible tourbillon version, so hopefully the SS or "Rusty" version will be coming soon.

Nice watch. I wonder what the Gen goes for

[andreww]

Here is the gen btw. Notice the incorrect second hand and lack of black color on the outside of the lugs

[Sir-Lancelot]

You could add black paint to fill the lugs and paint the seconds hand.

I like it and I know most wont like it, but they are not me.

How much?

I dont think I would want the rusty one, but like the one posted beside it.

[jraines87]

Andreww,

Maybe it's too early here in carolina, but I can't find that on Josh's site. Can you provide a link?

[andreww]

Ooops, Josh's version is actually the ceramic bezel version. Here's the gen...

[docblackrock]

Appreciate this is a 'new rep' thread, but there must have been half a dozen threads over the last year or two about this abhorrent watch.

Gen or rep, I would not be seen dead wearing it (pun intended to illustrate my point). Proof positive that we live in an increasingly soulless society.

Hey, watch it now jraines87 . You are in NORTH Carolina.

[jraines87]

Found it. I was looking for "Titanic" on the menu on the left.

[docblackrock]

What? No special caseback with a Cousteau-esque little ship silhouette? Think of the creative possibilities. A jaunty little angle to the hull maybe? Offending iceberg in the background? Some peripheral bobbing 'heads' in the water even? A limited edition series of 1513 would be perfect. You could even give each one a name. Literally. The marketing boys must be kicking themselves.....

I understand your feelings on this DBR, but IMO the Titanic stands as much more than a monument to the lives lost. The Titanic is a symbol of man's mortality. Man was too cocky. Unsinkable they called it. The Titanic is a reminder that we are helpless against the forces of nature, and that we must never feel that we have become to superior to ignore those forces. That is a lesson that should never be forgotten.

but Of course..... the better of the two carolinas I might add...

[Corgi]

Until they make one using the bones recovered from the victims I'm not interested thank you very much.

What does the price of $88,888.00 USD mean? It certainly is not correct.

It means we can't afford it

I guess they've yet to determine the final selling price.

I acknowledge your take on it, and a very valid argument it is too. However, sadly it is not one shared by, or in any way reflective of the ethos behind the production of this watch. There's nothing noble or even poignant about it. Just a soulless marketing idea in extremely poor taste designed to cash in on consumers' morbid fascination with the subject.

Hey, still cheaper than some of their gens

I guess you won't be buying their new Hiroshima DNA watch then?

[cornerstone]

I can't believe they chose to rep this!!

All my rusted movement jokes have finally come true!!

Should be some hysterical threads to come on the QC on this one.

"Made 1:1 genuine rusted"

This is a case where I would rather have the rep than the gen. The gen contains materials obtained by desecrating a grave site. It is every bit as tasteless as the fictitious watch Andreww refers to above. The rep is a pretty watch with none of the objectionable material contained in the gen.

[perry563]

As per King's site the watch contains an 21 jewel asian movement and is PVD.

[cornerstone]

Shhh. You're putting me off my Metta Catharina

Guilty people, please PM me with your now unwanted Metta straps.

(Oh, okay, nobody died on that ship, but it was worth a go. A lot of reindeers died I guess. Rudolph's Mum perhaps? PM me with your guilt wracked offers all the same)

Ufanta sells these on iOffer for under $100
