APOCALYPTICA - watch for the apocalypse?

[frp422]

I just received details on this DIY kit (including movement, dial etc and THAT case) in my inbox. A lot of inspiration from Omega's Seamaster in the dial and hands, but I've never seen a crown arrangement quite like it! Nor a 27.5mm lug width and there's no strap included. I'd understand this more if it were the 1st April and not 1st May.

Fortunately, they only seem to be making 5...

2 grand?

If it's meant for the apocalypse then I can only assume you use a paracord bracelet as a strap, then if it comes to needing to fight off fellow survivors for those last measly scraps of food, you can take it off and use that hunk of a case to beat them to death.

What you really need in an apocalypse is a proprietary screw head like on the front of that monstrosity, to realign that wonky bottom one.

looks like a Seamaster crossed with a padlock or something. Just terrible

2 grand?

Now THAT's what I'm talking about. The only watch to truly survive total atomic annihilation.

Nomos do a sundial for 128 Euros, perfect for all your post apocalyptic needs

At the product-development meeting:

"I know! Let's do a Scarface-worth of gak and design a watch!"

Chorus: "YAAAY! Good Idea!"

{Sound of £50s being rolled, chopping-out, and loud sniff-snuffling noises}

"It needs to look like a plan view of a sit-down toilet!"

Chorus: "YAAAY! Good Idea!"

"...and cost well over a grand!"

Chorus: "YAAAY! Good Idea!"

"...and it'll need a strap that no-one sells, but we won't supply one!"

Chorus: "YAAAY! Good Idea!"

"...but we'll just rip off the rest of the design from an overworked, instantly-recognisable watchmaking icon that'll look hopelessly out-of-place!"

{Forehead veins audibly bulging, human Henry-the-Hoovers are going at-it like a blue whale eating krill}

Chorus: "F*** YEAH!"

- lights fade / history made -

Oh bargain then!

1.99 would be too much.

Is it the new Bremont ‘Abrams Tank’ model?

[AmosMoses]

Heavy is good, heavy is reliable. If it doesn't work you can always hit them with it.

... to look like a plan view of a sit-down toilet!"...

Genius.

[Caruso]

Is it supposed to look like the hatch of a missile silo?
