These funky and in your face watches are all the rage though with people of my demographic (mid 20's)...........

I'm 27 and it is vomit inducing to me. Especially compared to my Seamaster.

Larnica · 8 Nov 2007 at 00:11

Just to add. NO

Rotty · 8 Nov 2007 at 00:12

bit ott, no?

ojste · 8 Nov 2007 at 00:14

nay i think, bit too colourful for a watch and not a big fan of leather straps

SK07 · 8 Nov 2007 at 00:15

just my opinion, looks exceptionally cheap and nasty, if he likes it then fine but he asked for opinions

i might just buy it for that reason.
You see these days it has to be in your face. Breitling, Gucci, Seiko etc are elegant watches which i think look better on middle aged plus chaps (no offence). Elegant is nice but like i said thats not what i want. I wnat something fashionable

thing is though, its not exactly so in ** face, that it looks good. it's only really subtle bits of yellow and red, and it does look cheap, and imo Breitling's look well slick, but i couldn't afford one lol.

edit: OT, why is ** (u-r) blocked?

depends on your concept of Fashionable , certainly large watches on straps are the in thing at the moment

among watch folks the "in" watches are most Panerais , JLC master compressor and Amvox series , AP ROO

Here was me thinking that you, the OP, had at least a smattering of taste and decency by owning a Lamborghini Gallardo, but that watch is just plain hideous!

yantorsen · 8 Nov 2007 at 00:30

he has a gallardo? sorry but that isn't good taste imo, what a poser.

Rotty · 8 Nov 2007 at 00:35

The basic idea of a Chrono with 24hr time disc for world time zones along with a leather strap as in the OP is similar to one I have, the basic idea is fine it's just that the D+G just doesn't seem to come together properly ( before we look at movements etc )

how it should be done

Coran · 8 Nov 2007 at 00:37

Fashions come and go. £500-800 is pretty hefty for something that's going to devalue at that kind of rate. I think even if I did like that watch, it would lose its 'wow' difference factor to me after a year or so of wearing it.
If you like the watch and can afford to splash away the money on something you might only wear for a few months then by all means go for it.

the D+G would have been much less than that

Yay or Nay ????

Nay, looks like a cheap kids watch.
