    Not to my taste, green dials don’t do anything for me.

    I quite like that. I was expecting not to but it's very nice. 1 of 25 really is a limited edition.

    Yeah I like that a lot more than I was expecting to

    Same as the two previous posters, I was expecting not to like it but I do and green is fitting with him being Irish.

    Not a fan of that at all, not that I could afford it anyway.

    Can someone explain to the out of touch like me exactly who Conor McGregor is? Never heard of him. But with a watch like that, I may not be missing much......

    If the signal strength under the rock is strong enough, you can google his name:-)

    I think it is the am/pm indicator so you know when not to make adjustments to the movement etc.

    I normally like green dials, but this one isn't doing it for me.

    Dislike the colours of both the face and strap - too big and too thick (judging by the photo alone).

    Now I really like the JLC that Christian Bale is wearing further down the page.

    I know it's a question of taste but that looks like something you'd see in Argos. Not that there's anything wrong with the Argos watch range of course.

    This.

    I guess it's supposed to be Irish green, but looks more mouthwash to me...

    Would probably be quite nice in blue.

    I like the watch but the colours a bit strong for me, but understand why Weirs went with an emerald to differentiate from an other issues and give it an uniquely Irish spin - they’re a lovey AD to deal with and would encourage anyone watch enthusiast visiting Dublin to pop in for a chat.

    With a limited edition of 25 I’m sure they’re already sold out, but will more likely find themselves on wrists in Miami or LA than Dublin.

    Is this an official Patek LE? The article isn’t clear.

    Not that I’d be in the market for one.

    Patek associating with someone who punched an old man sitting down not looking it Connors direction full pelt in the head when he refused to drink Connors whiskey. Really classy lol.

    How have they done that? He's just bought a watch.

    If it was a 'piece unique' I would agree with you but doesn't look like it is.

    Not really bad looking but the green doesn't go with the red rose tattoos?

    It's collaboration with the retailer - another link - https://pynck.com/2019/04/unveiling-...niversary.html

    Don't think him buying one is going to influence many others TBH!

    Given the nicknames that go with watch collecting I wonder if this will become the pikey Patek.

    I read it as a collaboration between him and the jeweller, who organised it with Patek. It did surprise me that they'd do that, which helps to explain that they didn't!

    Weirs are my local AD, from memory most of these were sold abroad and were on an offered basis rather than being made available to the general public. I walk by it every morning and these were never in the PF section.

    That’s a pity if any local customers were interested and rather defeats purpose of the special edition.

    If I was one of the other 24 I’d be disappointed to see one on his wrist - vile individual.

    But are they an Irish jewellers based in Eire? You appear to be in London.

    +1, probably one of the worst examples of an Irishman ever produced. Thankfully his whiskey went down like a lead balloon too.

    horrible person, horrible watch. I'm sure Patek aren't best please being associated with this kind of zero IQ "ambassador".... But it's they way its going for all the big brands. Only footballers and walter mittys are fawning over their goods soon.

    Maybe, but I’d imagine their watch is worth more as a result.

    This is the clip of McGregor punching someone in a pub for not drinking his whiskey.

    Looks like a weak attempt at capturing the hulk market.

    Poor choice of brand ambassador and poor expression of a green watch - but then I am not generally a fan of green watches, including the Hulk.

    Once again, he's not the brand ambassador.

    I wonder if Patek themselves secretly cringe when they find out he's bought it. I don't think it will have a full on Daniella Westbrook/Burberry effect but he's still the kind of person you don't want associated with your brand.

    Fair point - no evidence that he is a brand ambassador or associated with Patek or Weirs in any way. Interesting though that most media articles about the watch involve Conor McGregor? On the basis there are only 25 made - and they are selective about who gets one, many would question their judgement about allocating one to Conor McGregor. Love/hate the watch or the 12th purchaser, there is a good amount of media coverage. Perhaps I am just reading too much into it..

    They include Conor for click bait and extra traffic, nothing more. The more impressions their website gets the more they can charge for ads. The more of a tenuous link to someone idiots will click on the more people who will click etc.

    To be fair to him, at least he's wearing the thing and it's not still stickered in a safe somewhere.
