mjmurphy926 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 I'm not exactly sure why, but lately I have been infatuated with this Graham Chronofighter Overloard. When I first saw it, I thought to myself "What an UGLY ass watch", but now every time I'm on Andrew's site, I seem to end up here. So please someone...I'm begging...step up and slap some sense into my dumbass!!
tomhorn Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 I always say, go with your first instinct ... And IMO, pretty much any Graham is an ugly POS, so if it makes you feel any better, I'm not buying one either.
AstroAvia Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 I just can't stand these morons who come here every now and then asking for someone else to decide what/whether they must (not) buy. I bear these narrow-minded loosers no ill will. IMO, this particular watch is absolutely and brilliantly FUGLY. It seems to me that this Mr. Murphy somehow thinks alike, so why does he even bother to air his indecision? Come on brother, if you don't like, don't buy it. Period! (Look a these poor guy: +790 posts and still didn't realise what is (or isn't) good for him!! Go figure!)
nikki6 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Can't believe I'm gonna go this, but, for you Murph I'll go the extra mile!! I'm with Fakey, thats just vile and STOP IT!! NOW!!!! *shudder* thats twice I've almost been nice to him now!! You better appreciate this Murph!! Ahhhh, AHhhhhhh, AHH, STOP IT, get off that site!! NOW!!!!!!!
Mickey Padge Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 It would stay in your watch box, admit it If you did ever wear it, I guarantee it wouldn't be with anyone else around!
mjmurphy926 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Posted April 13, 2009 Whew!!! OK...I'm better now...Thanks all!!!

AstroAvia Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 :give_rose: Did it help? Buy it, man. When you get it, if you really don't like it, you just sell it! :crazy:
AllergyDoc Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) I had a Graham and absolutely loved it--for a while. It's a magnificent timepiece, extremely well made. But to avoid the crown guard poking my forearm I had to wear the watch at the distal end of my wrist, tight. It was uncomfortable and still poked my forearm. I sold it.

cheswick Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Personally, that is actually one of my favorite Graham's. Yes it's ugly, but it's an appealing ugly. It's the most military of all the Grahams and looks like it's ready to kick a$$! I say JUST DO IT!
Dave123 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 That one is not the greatest looking for sure,but of the 60+ rep watches i have owned,none have been the quality of the Grahams,to me the V2 Tech Seal is unreal,quality wise. I was no fan at all when i first seen them on Josh's site,but because they were so odd i had to try one out and ended up buying 3,they are pretty cool.
TK471 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Every time someone buys a Graham rep, an angel gets his wings.
ammandel Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Not being funny, Graham watches some of the most ugly things I've ever seen. They remind me of toy planes for 6 year olds. Don't even know how you can find them even slightly appealing! Wouldn't wear the most expensive Graham gen even if it was gifted to me!
P4GTR Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 We can celebrate the new purchase over a few beers. ...Immediately putting that handy bottle opener to good use!
Toadtorrent Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 I always thought all Graham's were butt ugly until I saw them at the AD and had a handle on them. I have to say, in person they have much more presence and have an air of quality more so than pictures seem to capture. That being said, there's no way I could pull one off as the lever, though an interesting addition if you are a pilot in a non-pressurized and heated cockpit and fly with gloves on which so many of us are, is just so huge. It would be an interesting piece to have as a collection item, moreso than a watch I would wear.
jfreeman420 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Just wait for the bright orange version encrusted with diamonds. Now that is an ugly POS.............
RIBOOWW2 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 I must admit, I have considered buying it as I have an historic interest in World War 2. Its almost grotesqeness has prevented me from doing so. Overlord was the code word for D-day 6 June 1944, when the Allies landed on the beaches in Normandy, France to start the Western front and the eventual capitulation of the Nazis. My Dad was in the RAF in bomber command flying Lancasters at the time. I would probably get it if it wasn't for that ridiculous appendage on one side. Its a talking point..................
StormTooper4 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 DO IT Saw some Gen's in an AD the day, best statement watch around for sure. I am feeling those mental cyclops Grahams now. No one is gonna mess with one of those Bad Boys on your wrist. Go on you know want to ST4
FxrAndy Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Every time someone buys a Graham rep, an angel gets his wings. But a puppy gets shot! Dont do it man, just dont!
plaifender Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Every time someone buys a Graham rep, an angel gets his wings. hahahahahahahaha
