I mean...every watch has a buyer (hopefully) but there are many watches that i just "dont get" why its created and why someone in their right mind would buy.

Top of my list, the Artya "Dina crap" watch. Yes, its actually dinosaur poo! This one goes even beyond the RJ Titanic watches (I'll post that later).
Here is the watch with the brands CEO. $:-\$

Haha nice one pete

what about this one
don't think many can even pronounce its name

terrenceterrence · « **Reply #2 on:** January 18, 2011, 06:48:02 AM »

for me? any heavily diamond crusted sports watches.... Daytona Leopard, GMT Patriot ...infact even Serti dials. Men with too much bling is just so wrong

end up looking like Liberace

but i do agree with you ..i wonder who would actually buy those coprolite crap. maybe in a few hundred million years from now.. they would be wearing ancient homo sapiens poo too.

every one watch is made because somewhere in this world, there is demand. If we dont get it, others will. Having said that the daytona leopard is ugly to me. Diamond encrusted watch are popular in the US so it is hard to say that. Certain pieces are explained by their rarity. Like the "Dina crap". Who can say that they own some dino crap?

Ok this is next.
The RJ Titanic double tourby (yes i cant spell the full word hehe).
What i dun understand is
- No time display, one spins when its day and the other when its night.
- I dont feel comfortable wearing this series, mainly coz alot of people died in that ship wreck and i feel that their "ghost" might follow me around.

That said, some of the models in the titanic series is actually quite ok.

HAHA, are you afraid Leonardo standing behind you, holding your arms out and say I'm the king of the world?

All the above still ok la... at least got some "story" behind it, built in memory of some past events/tragedy/etc.

But there is just no excuse for these.

Iced out diamond G-shocks!? Why? But why? No excuse what so EVAH!

G.MAC · « **Reply #18 on:** January 22, 2011, 05:15:41 PM »

agree with adrian. No valid excuse to explain that.

i dunno, maybe i am still new and dont know how to appreciate a Patek yet. to me they worse than a piece of shit. of course real patek enthusiast can say i cant afford them or sour grape. just like a Pagani Zonda or some other exotic cars, i rather take a cheaper Porsche or Ferrari anyday.

Tag, to me they are neither there , neither here, just like a Volvo in the car industry or if use handbags as a comparison, maybe Guess or Coachs yes, some models with heritages, but some are downright ugly to me.

takashi78 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 24, 2011, 05:57:28 AM »

What you said didnt make much sense.

1- High end Patek is crap, lower eng Tag is not here or there, so what do you consider reasonable and what do you wear?

2- A Pagani is expensive but you would take a "cheaper" Ferrari, hmmm.....so where does this put Patek?

For the sake of argument, why is Patek crap to you? style? size?......

dude, what is the problem with you?

i did say it is my personal opinion and i did say i am still new and maybe i dont know how to appreaciate a Patek. which part of my english you do no understand?

isn't this thread what it is all about? if i dont like a BMW or prefer a Mercedes, it doesnt need to make any sense to others. purely my own liking. if you happen to be a BMW fan, good for you.

one man's poison is another man's meat.

why did you get so worked out on my post?

you yourself called the other watch a dinasaur poo.
