From the earlier photo competition.
Okay. I still have some watch bits and bobs about to be used as prizes, so here is one final competition with which to end the academic year. (I don't want any jokes about academics swanning about over the whole summer. If it were only so!)Originally Posted by Mean_Go_Getter
Submit a picture of the watch you think is the ugliest you have seen. The competition ends at 23:59GMT, Friday 18th June. The prize is a nearly new 2 piece black Rhino with black fixings. I will be the sole judge of the winner (for some value of "winner"), as I have significant experience and expertise in the ugliness arena. Anything goes with regard to the pictures. If you have talent in the ugly watch department, submit a picture of your own prototype. However, I would recommend getting stock photos from well known watch firms as they have decades of experience in making ugly watches.
Best wishes,
Bob

It should be an ugly watch you have owned or do own. I can think of hundreds of real ugly watches that I would never touch. Think Rolex Leopard.
Nah. Never owned are okay. However, I would be really careful about submitting a picture of a watch that you know someone on the forum owns. :)
Best wishes,
Bob
Ok, I'll continue on the Rolex theme, hopefully no one here has one of these :lol: :lol: :lol: .
/Stefan
I nominate: The Hyperion

THIN is the new BLACK
That would be a nice watch if not for the fugly case
Ming
This one works on so many levels.
Cheers,
Tim.
Oozes class.
From eprey of course
How the hell do you actually tell the time on those things? At least I guess it means the crystal is harder to scratch...
Ming
If you wear this watch as a message ... ... ... it doesn't matter most of the time. :wink: :POozes class.
/Hal
Maybe the bezel rotates and the time just sort of peeks around it? :wink:

Hi guys,
it was a very difficult decision, but here is my official contest candidate:
:pukeright: :pukeleft: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeleft:
But there are so many lovely watches and I like to share some pictures:
Lordex Digital (mechanical)
Technomarine Tourbillon watch
I actually can't remember the source, but I guess it is a piece of eBay crap:
Zanetti Imperio
Sorry if I make you feel sick.
/Hal
This is one of my own - a Vostock watch commemorating the 300th anniversary of St Petersburg (give or take the odd name change). I was sent it by mistake by the supplier. The more I look at it, the more bling it seems. . .
Steve.
This is "plain".
I have a couple of Slavas. They're certainly not pretty. The designs seem to date from old Soviet days when cheapness and plain functionality ruled. The watch equivalent of Lada cars.This is "plain".
Steve.
Did you know ... that watch has two mainspring barrels?
john
THIN is the new BLACK
I didn't John, thanks. :wink:
I don't think this watch is ugly, simply utilitarian. The case is very plain but the dial is very easy to read, almost clock like in appearance.
Keeps time to + 15 seconds a day so I won't complain for £16. :shock:
John - that's the nicest thing I've seen you write about a Russian watch.Did you know ... that watch has two mainspring barrels?
john
I'm touched :wink: . Keep it up.
LMAO!! :lol: :lol:
It is fugly though. The designer didn't have a clue about proportions. How difficult would it have been to alter them slightly and make them more Lange-1815 printing like?
Ming
Spotted this one today on WUS and immediately thought about this competition :lol: .
I normally dont like chrono's much so you can guess my feelings about this hideous thing... :tongue6:
/Stefan
:o Is that one designed my Dali?
Have you any dimensions?
Don't worry, it will fit in most trash-cans. :wink:
Cheers,
Martin ("Crusader")
Sorry, no idea, but here is a bit more information (in german):

/Stefan
:shock: :shock: :shock:
What the other 2 subdials are for? This watch is ugly! It's not even bling!
My guess is two extra timezones(?).
/Stefan
DELETED
That doesn't do it justice.
Ming
Looks like it has been left on a radiator!
Cheers,
Tim.
New CORUM models - no comment. :roll: :wink:
(Pictures by Corum)
/Hal
Why!!!! :(
Corum bubble
too bad it's so expensive :( .
My hope is that they controls the watch self destruct sequence. :twisted:My guess is two extra timezones(?).

Now the leopard is one it's way ... :roll:
I saw this on banda. com.
/Hal
Those Corum take the prize easily.
Kevin
My favorite is still the Technomarine Spiderman Tourbillon. 8) :lol: :lol: :lol:
When this competition ends?
Women, beware of men wearing this watch! :!: The owner hasn't actually finished elementary school, but made a lot of money by selling cheap crap for high prices to people. :evil: In the owners opinion, a wife should stay in the kitchen, bare footed and pregnant, while he is *** his secretary. :twisted:Think Rolex Leopard.
/Hal :wink:
Not a good image. Not a particularly good watch either :x
Ming
But a case in point for the old adage that "the only thing worse than a fake Rolex is a real one" - at least this one is.
Cheers,
Martin ("Crusader")
The competition ended at 23:59GMT on Friday. I've had a busy last few days, and haven't had time to review the entries. I'll try to get around to it tonight. (Not too close to bedtime, however. I don't want nightmares. :) )
Best wishes,
Bob
As the current grandmaster of bad watch taste I?m bearing responsibility to give advice to the people. So I like to add two new :shock: wonderful watch models. IMHO many watches of the ?haute joaillerie? are highly recommendable to show bad taste.
Corum is always one of the best ways to show the connection between having much money and a bad taste :wink: :

I?m sure if you try hard, you?ll be able to develop your bad taste! :pukeright:

You forget Locman. Or those horrible huge multicolored ones, I can't remember what they're called.

Isn't that the company that also produce sunglasses so thatand Oakley
john
(a) you see their ugly watches through a glass darkly, and
(b) you can get away with wearing without being recognized?
Cheers,

:Dand Oakley

Locman 'nuovo' (http://www.locman.it)
Oakley 'Detonator' (http://www.oakley.com)
I can see the detonator but I can't see the watch. 8)
I don't think it's an ugly watch. It's very wearable.This is "plain".
This is an ugly watch :
