There's an unusual watch just come up for sale if anyone is interested in something out of the ordinary. And for those unfamiliar - yes, it is real:

That is a very nice dial arrangement/layout. Bet it has a big price tag too!

No, I don't like it either - though it has it's followers.

@thelynchmob04 - you may be surprised, these quartz models don't tend to hold their value that well, so while there's no telling what the guy wants, these aren't that high up in the thousands.

Of course bear in mind that when they go wrong these things aren't repairable, and if I remember rightly this watch needs four batteries.

It definitely looks better in TT, but still not for me.

That's a little pricey, but not completely ridiculous. I'm just not sure at what point the value starts to diminish on the basis that it's getting to the end of it's usable life.

Just can't get to like it - looks like it's grinning at me!

Interesting find - any one asked the price?

Agree it looks better as TT but I wouldn't pay that.

No - not for me I'm afraid.

Cup of tea!

Mario Old Boy - are we detecting a trace of British lineage?

I work with a lady from Boeing - here in sunny UK - and she often laughs at the words, phrases and pronunciation I use. Also her spelling is terrible! Even simple words like colour - I mean..........

:lol:
