Come on you can do better than that.. Here's one:

This is reportedly a one-off watch that Omega gave to Davis Love III, one of its PGA brand ambassadors.

This thread might as well end now. No one's going to beat that. Beyond hideous. Sorry Davis...馃檨

You guys realize that you are inevitably insulting or hurting the feelings of some members of the forum 馃檮

The only things hurting in here are my eyes!

I don't see any ugly watches here. The NZL-32, the Globemasters, the Moonwatch Orbis, the Constellations, the vintage ones and especially the Spacemaster Z-33 are all beautiful.

I'd prefer to have those watches and have variety than have 10 Rolex maxicase divewatches that all look the same.

Man, I'm so glad you've all shown me these references. Makes me feel good about myself and what I've bought by comparison.

Absolutely governor!馃榿 But they will get over it. Anyway... I quite like these watches.馃槙
Fakk my old boots! ::facepalm1:: I think I have discovered a whole section of watch collecting that appeals to me. Does this mean I'm some kind of horological-deviant?馃槦

Wow, great to see the range of likes and dislikes! As my avatar shows, I have a strong love for my TinTin...And I respect your dislike of the dial design. I do like the thought of a ratatouille nick name! Now, do I take that as a "Rat" watch, or maybe one suitable for dining at casual restaurants??

And for people with none. That is proper all inclusive marketing for you!

It has to be said:

If that's sarcasm, well played.

If that's serious, I respect your opinion, and vehemently disagree... 馃榾

And I still hate the "tumblehome" case design of the Z-33. Honestly, I'm not a fan of the Mk-II either, or the Mk-III (below), whose single major design change seemed to be making the watch arbitrarily thicker and adding MORE tumblehome (because, hey, it's 1972!), but to each, their own.

Finally, my "deal breaker" watch features are, in no particular order:
1.) Excessive or unnecessary case thickness or diameter.
2.) Diamond studded anything.
3.) An angled date window at 4:30. These seem popular, but I just can't get on board.

Hey now, I can take it when you guys call my favorite watch designs ugly, but I can't abide disrespecting the 1040 movement. That's where I draw the ligne 馃榾
