Reply With QuoteOh dear.......
This is the most vile and gopping watch I have ever seen, my eyes are burning! A snip and £29,995.00?
There might be something out there worse than this but I honestly think not...
Oh dear.......
I certainly requires a particular taste . It has been around a very long time though.
I am sure there are much worse out there.
Ha Ha yup, I like Rolex, I hate this, been on the net for a while.
Oh good this again, what's it been, a month or two since the last time?
This is pretty special...

I like that. I was really disappointed that the rainbow couldn't make it into sufficient production numbers.
But this is my favourite one in my collection.
Nah....too small - not enough BLING!!!Originally Posted by sonyman

So, on this occasion, Oris beat rolex to making a vile tasteless watch suitable for a vile tasteless dictator?
The marketing department at rollie HQ must have sacked all the elves responsible that day...
and the worst of all
Nice to see that the daytona has been toned down a little for 2014...
Oh i'm sorry did inconvenience you by not scouring every single post on the forum for it before apparently re-posting? my bad, but an initial search for an awful looking watches post (or words to that effect) that I could add to - didn't throw up any results?
Christ is that even a watch!!?
Wonder if there's a Col Gaddafi version somewhere too? might start a collection!

Osian, you will get used to this type of one-line grunt of a reply from some during your time on here.Oh i'm sorry did inconvenience you by not scouring every single post on the forum for it before apparently re-posting? my bad, but an initial search for an awful looking watches post (or words to that effect) that I could add to - didn't throw up any results?
Rise above it - the rest of the membership are actually decent, intelligent guys...
Can we sticky the Leopard Daytona please? It would save everyone precious time!
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Im not so sure that's the answer - its not even nearly the most vulgar gold rollie in circulation...
Nevermind, found it!
I love these threads!
Ahh, no one has yet posted any of the tasteful and delightful Rolex skull watches...
A Datejust, perfectly understated for wearing to the office.
Another Datejust, a little bling to impress all of your artsy pirate friends.
And finally, some real bling to catch the eye of that drunk skank at the next satanic cult meeting...
Not again!
The office of an undertaker maybe!!!A Datejust, perfectly understated for wearing to the office.
Starting the stalking again?, don't forget you had a week on the naughty step the last time you tried it!!!!!
I say this.
and I kinda like that Daytona

That Rolex Leopard is fine compared to some of the watches in this thread. I would straight up wear this -
More upsetting to me is stuff like the BAPE EZM1.
Don't mind the post police. Every forum has them.Oh i'm sorry did inconvenience you by not scouring every single post on the forum for it before apparently re-posting? my bad, but an initial search for an awful looking watches post (or words to that effect) that I could add to - didn't throw up any results?
Then, all you have to watch out for is the haters...
I like the Leopard Daytona, it will certainly suit people who are rather more bravura than me. It's certainly not for the staid.
This Gentleman is even older than me and gets away with it.....

OMG. It's not the worst though. Although Rolex should be ashamed of themselves it does at least have a balance and common design ethos present in all the elements. Imagine if they'd mixed a Kevlar face with diamonds and a silicon strap.
Very very expensive and ugly for me :)
wth?
Nevermind, found it!
Renowned British photographer Martin Parr even got a whole book out of the topic!

Might look out of place on a building site,but if your boarding your 600 + feet mega yacht in Monaco possibly not.
And the cheeky bugger's charging £75 for the 'tabloid sized, wordless publication'!
I've just moved to Doha, Qatar last week. Having been to the shopping malls and had a look at the watches on display in the window, some of these more high-end watches can give most of the ones in this thread a run for their money.
This forum becomes more 'groundhog day' by the minute. But as 'gopping' is one of my favourite words I had to open the thread! - but seriously the 'isn't the leopard Daytona hideous' thread followed by 'Rolex must have had a bad day' comments are sooo 2000! ;-)
Yup sorry about that. Threw up some more lovely watch porn though didn't it? lol.
He might be getting away with it, but he's having to look like a vain, stroppy, old transvestite to do soI like the Leopard Daytona, it will certainly suit people who are rather more bravura than me. It's certainly not for the staid.

At least it hasn't got a nato strap......
I'm going to get that Daytona - I laughed at it, made fun of it - but now I think I am going to track one down and wear it ;)
It's just a matter of time...
It gets better if you try the actual main branches of the jewellers, rather than the mall branches of (for example) Al Fardan, Al Ali - have a wander down Al Saad Street, and boggle at the watches, both good and bad!
a bit of bling when diving?
A leopard print Rolex. Who, other the Bette Lynch, could think that that is a good idea.
Well, someone at Rolex did & it generates a lot of web hits for them.

Sorry I think you win hands down but thought Id through this one in

Amen, not everyone has time to search before they post.
proof that money can't buy you taste.
I'm not the forum police, just getting bored with the same 100 posts on endless rotation. I might have to step away from this forum for a while because I'm not by nature a nit-picker. No offence was intended!
I can understand that some people are tasteless snobs, so I can see the market for these watches.
However, who would want that Saddam Hussain thing? :s
I like this leopard daytona, much better than all these bling AP's
