cornerstone Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I came across this in the watch news section of the site (we have a news section - who knew?), and thought it deserved special mention. I need say no more, other than to make clear that this is an actual watch that you're expected to want to buy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need say no more, other than to make clear that this is an actual watch that you're expected to want to buy: Er... Um... I... I.. ah... I actually quite like that... It looks like something which would have been worn as a prop on 2001 or UFO, and I have to admit, I do have a softspot for the design aesthetic of that era [Edit to add] I would likely never actually wear a watch like that, but, I do like the design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 that watch is awful yes, but at least the maker was able to do it and still have the date center in the window, and its 10bar WR... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Why does that not surprise me TeeJay... Must be he artist in you I'm a huge fan of the sci-fi shows and movies from the era, and to me, that looks like something which would have been a prop in such a show Okay, I can't imagine Ed Bishop wearing one (if I recal, the watch he wore in UFO was a gift from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson), but, I could certainly imagine Gabrielle Drake wearing one on the moonbase... :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerouac Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 that watch is awful yes, but at least the maker was able to do it and still have the date center in the window, and its 10bar WR... Conisdering the pastiche of "design" elements they used, I think centered date window is actually a mistake. Since it seems they were going for a patchwork Frankenstein effect, the date window should have been off center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Reading TeeJay's post I'm beginning to think I may have inadvertently invented a new psychiatric test.....

ChipSlap Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 It looks like it was designed by Pablo Picasso in about 1913. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maulermacall@hotmail.com Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I found a diesel watch in a gym locker the other week. Suprisingly nice, I handed it into reception. I waer diesel shirts and belts and thought why not a diesel watch. Cheap and a large range of styles. If anyone can find me a link or the models name and code I'm going to get it and I'll promise lots of pics and a full review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickHiC Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 how tf can they offer 10 bar of WR with a split case design like that? That is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 how tf can they offer 10 bar of WR with a split case design like that? That is crazy. The case probably isn't truly split, probably just a case of coatings to show different colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
