V Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Quite ugly I must say... not at all my taste.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retep Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 At looking from the side at that watch it is more like a fortune tellers crystal ball; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Yeah, I read about this model somewhere. I think it sure is "interesting"...but also one of the ugliest watches I've ever seen. That TT bracelet really does the "trick". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitztozeiss Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I like it, really. I just don't like the HUGE "Rolex" script on the dial. Ok, and maybe the crystal could be a bit shorter . . . a bit. That's a bit too superdome for me. Speaking of superdome . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 The ultimate tool watch. It wasn't designed to look pretty at all. I really like it, and its ugliness is part of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 It wasn't designed to look pretty at all. Yeah..that's why they used GOLD on the bracelet of a professional diver's watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Yeah..that's why they used GOLD on the bracelet of a professional diver's watch Yeah, I also hate it when they put gold on stereo plugs ... oh, wait. I imagine the gold was an attempt to give it some class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stereo plugs, I understand. Diver's watch, I don't understand. Do you have any more inside info for the reason they chose the gold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Do you have any more inside info for the reason they chose the gold? Why yes. Rolex sold gold watches and wanted people to buy gold watches. Seriously, I don't know, but it didn't harm it at 11KM down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
