    The bezel is a bit off the Titanic...

    This is steampunk Gangnam Style!

    I think it looks like you should have elected to buy the pack of M&Ms instead.

    Looks worse than I had imagined it might. The Bezel looks utterly plastic and the dial, the poor thing, has a propeller embedded in its chin.

    And what are those pusher springs doing? Pulling them in? And are they held down with cable grips?

    Let's face it the Titanic is a mass grave - as Cousteau* once said 'Take only pictures, leave only bubbles....'

    bezel looks like a moulded dog turd

    Congratulations on your new hunk of junk

    Looks like a Krispy Kreme chocolate ring donut with some old radio bits crammed into the middle. Ugly, unfunctional and vulgar.

    I kinda like it.

    Looks like Robocop's nr. 2.............

    Please tell me you didn't. But if you like it how am I to criticise

  24. #24

    Definitely different

    I have to say I quite like RJ watches, definitely a bit mad but if you ever get the chance try one. Very nicely made

    Bit pricey though.

    To the OP, enjoy it!

    It looks like a mechanical turd to me, but to each his own.

    Steampunk is certainly the trending style...but it looks like someone's fitted a movement into a chocolate Krispy Kreme!

    Erm... It's certainly interesting?

    I went shopping this afternoon...

    It's not a good advert for Krispy Kreme when option is split between turd and a donut.

    Yes, I cant believe you missed that oportunity! Funnily enough, talking pig art, I was looking at some of Bob Dylan's works today. Really good stuff too!

    It did actually remind me of something my dog happens to produce on a daily basis.
    I don't really know what to say about this watch that wouldn't get me banned, so I rather won't comment on it.

    I know it goes against forum thinking, where a ceramic bezel is considered revolutionary, but I think it's great.

    Surely not.

    **rubs eyes**

    No.

    **wipes screen**

    It's still there.

    **peers closer**

    Is it a watch? I must get a new monitor. It's making everything look like it's covered in [comment deleted by webmaster].
