    The marmitiest of marmite things

    So I love this watch. I mean REALLY love it. More than most of my collection. Mrs ryanb741 thinks it's probably the campest watch she's seen but that the dial is beautiful.

    Most of you will hate it. And you are totally sane to do so. I'm insane and this is perfect!

    As I'm not a native English speaker, I'm afraid I don't have in my active vocabulary the needed words to describe this watch :D

    I don’t mind the dial colour at all, or even the bezel - it’s the black case that kills it for me...

    Have you been tested?

    For your colour blindness I mean.

    I think your assessment is correct that most of us will hate it! Sorry but I find it so vulgar.

    I am, and I don't either

    All that matters is that you like it op! You can be pretty sure not to come across another in the wild too.

    My initial thought was of dislike. I've since looked over the pictures a few times..... It's growing on me slightly.

    This just reminds me of a bloke that parks in my road and walks into town for work. Saw him with such an array of differently coloured clothing the other day I concluded that he's both single and colourblind.

    This watch feels a lot like that...

    Well, I do quite like the hand-set; does that help?

    Like you said a marmite watch, each to their own but not for me. Good to see something a bit different though.

    I would have expected to see "H. Moser" on the dial...

    I’m with your good lady (not literally) in not liking it, sorry. That you like it is all that matters though.

    If only it didn't have a date.

    It is OKish at best, and summed up nicely above.

    I quite like the dial and hands but my eyes look at the gold crown and black case with wonderment.
    The purple bezel is an unusual colour ..but the crown and case go beyond.
    So,not a one for me but you like it and enjoy wearing it and that is good.
    A Thai limited edition...I must go to Thailand one day.

    I realise now why I don't have a watch with black PVD case, blue dial, purple bezel and gold crown.

    I do like the dial though.

    Ryan its different but what’s wrong with different - nothing. If we all wore black face/SS strap, case and bezel watches what a boring hobby we would have. A post like this sparks debate and comment (mostly negative but you knew that from your title) and it’s great for the forum.

    I just realised I swerved your question which was on the dial, yes it is beautiful but maybe with a SS case and bezel ha ha..............

    Wear it in health

    I don't like the 12 index nor the border around the date.
