andreww Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 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.

jraines87 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Nice watch. I wonder what the Gen goes for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Here is the gen btw. Notice the incorrect second hand and lack of black color on the outside of the lugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Lancelot Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jraines87 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Andreww, Maybe it's too early here in carolina, but I can't find that on Josh's site. Can you provide a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Ooops, Josh's version is actually the ceramic bezel version. Here's the gen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 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.

jraines87 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Found it. I was looking for "Titanic" on the menu on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 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..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubu Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 http://www.pc-80108.com/0222c-p-4632.html What does the price of $88,888.00 USD mean? It certainly is not correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a lesson that should never be forgotten. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I guess you won't be buying their new Hiroshima DNA watch then? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry563 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 As per King's site the watch contains an 21 jewel asian movement and is PVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
