The price is way to high. Build my Dark evil for half that price. The old Teutonic was nice though. But gets me a little sad. Those watches are old vintage watches . My Dark evil is completely new parts . Except for the case.

Hi All

Not sure they have been called out before, but I stumbled upon these timepieces on Chrono24. I understand the purists will scream in despair, but they're worth a look:

125, 4.5, V Teutonic are the ones available atm.

The black DLC finish (is it truly DLC by the way...), the colored hands, this screams resto-mod. And just like for similarly modded cars, they are polarizing. I happen to love them, the contrast between the 70's design and the newer surface finish with the dash of color is just great. They also had a Mark II with fluorescent yellow hands, and it was my favourite of the bunch 馃榿

What do you respectable OF members think? I'm sure the "puke" emoticon will be used quite a bit 馃榾

Don't know if I am a respectable member but my opinion is that they are complete bollocks

This are maybe not Omega but they are cool? And not that over pricey as the seamasters . Some old citizen bullheads. That has been PVD modded . For sale on a Swedish forum.
