For some reasonI like it, besides the fact that it's friggin gigantic. If it were sized for anyone but FEAR and less than the $5k they're probably charging for it I could see myself wearing it.

Would you believe it: We have already sold this watch.

With it being a limited edition we are unlikely to get another, which is sad in a selfish way because, although I'd never buy one due to its stupidly enormous size, I did like to check it out every now and again.

Indeed Mr Fear.

I can see how my comments could be misconstrued. I actually meant they look stupid on me. I have 6.5" wrists. So I do wish that they would produce this model as a BR03.

It's the ugliest watch I have ever seen. Some of Roff's weird watches are nicer than this hunk of crap. I can't believe someone actually bought this thing.

If you look on google you can find a pic of the watches lume. I am sure many 10 year old boys will find it fascinating.

I don't like it that much either and it's definitely far to big for me to wear but it's not terrible. While I'd never buy it and despite the fact the pricing is likely to be on the high side, can one appreciate unique pieces without personally liking them all that much :huh
