    not to my tastes I am afraid... but I have a few which I am sure wouldn't be for everyone either.

    who cares what anyone else thinks though? Just enjoy it if you like it.

    Too busy and to large for my taste - but that's the beauty of our hobby... Tastes differ and as long as you like it, that makes it great :)

    Subdials are too close to middle and cramped for me, even an understated handsome watch like the Omega Railmaster 2812 can't pull that off IMO.

    But as others say, if you like it that's enough.
    Most people disliked my Alpina Extreme Regulator but I loved it and wore it all the time

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's always good to see something different & original.
    The watch is unusual & an interesting design, I like it :mrgreen:

    If you want more positive responses you need to get a Rolex diver's watch :wink:

    Not my cup of tea - although can't quite put my finger on why. First thought was too many colours (blue, red, black, steel).

    As long as you like it then 8)

    personally, I don't like it, and legibility looks very poor.

    At least the screws on the bezel line up properly :bounce:

    Can't say that I'd wear it but if you like it damn the rest of them and wear it with pride.

    Interesting in a roulette wheel meets Hublot at a candy factory sort of way.

    But at 48mm WAY to big for me.

    I must say its not my cup of tea - but I bet it's a great talking point - and that's half the fun of being a WIS!

    It is too big for me, as well as being too busy. I don't like the colours either.

    However it is different, and if you like it that is all that matters. I'm sure there are watches of mine you wouldn't like and if everyone liked the same thing it would be a very boring world.

    I must say imho that the dial could be nicer laid out otherwise it has potential to be a nice watch. Think it would look nice on a sailcloth type strap.

    Aesthetically that's pretty cool as a weekend watch, although I''d prefer it in blue.

    You need bear in mind that many here find a green bezel on a Rolex a bit too racy :wink:

    If you enjoy the watch then that's what matters really. Personally though it isn't really to my taste, but then again my wrists would be too small to pull it off anyway!

    Personally not to my taste, but wouldn't say it's ugly.

    I quite like it... but think it would look better without all the chrono type functions... I generally like a plain dial.

    Undecided... Now that dial without the chrono complications would be a cracker. It's cool to have a watch thread without a "mine says hello" in it mind you 8)

    I like it to look at and I love red on watches... but I don't think I'd actually buy one.

    Possibly not ugly but the face is to cramped and without 20/20 vision it would be a nightmare to read.
    But enjoy your watch.

    At the end of the day if it's what you like then that's what counts. We're adults and we buy what we like without having to seek the approval of others.

    Not for me I'm afraid, but then it's not me that's wearing it. Then again, there's only one Rolex that I like, (and it's way out of my league though I drool every time it gets posted here); so my taste isn't everyones. :lol: :lol:

    That you like your watch is all that really matters. Enjoy it and wear it in health. :)
