Curious what thoughts on this watch are - I saw it for the first time at a dealer today, and really, if I saw someone wearing this would think its a $10 watch - am I missing something?

When I first saw it as part of the Baselworld updates I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either.... and nothing's changed. I agree it's hard to read as it's not abundantly clear from a picture which "hand" is which, but I guess you probably get used it pretty quickly. I just think it's a bit too gimicky, but then I tend find a few of B&R's offerings a bit gimicky at times anyway.

And does it look like a kids watch? I think it's one of those things that if you have to ask, then I definitely isn't for you!

Liked it when I first saw it, still like it now and it fits my current passion for unusual watches. Standard issue with B&R that the price is too high for what it is, but will seriously consider it for the right price.

Really don't give two hoots whether people think it looks like a $10 watch :lol:
