I put the "bark" finish Rolex watches in the same category...

*Shudder*. A textured case is a tricky thing to pull off.

LOL, I can’t imagine how any conversation about this watch would go. To me it is the stuff of nightmares
To me it looks like something that came out of a happy meal.

Of course beauty's in the eye of the beholder...

It does tell you what time it is on Mars though. Maybe before you know it, we will have astronauts double-wristing, a Speedy on the left wrist, and this thing on the right wrist...

My colleague's Zenith her husband bought for himself in the 90's in Italy.. Easily the ugliest watch I've ever held in my hands.
I accidentally dropped in a hole on a field, moles were rushing up&out screaming 😁

So there are many, many ugly watches in this thread. Corum produces pieces I just don't understand. We all know that Invicta employs six year old boys as watch designers. Hublot is well known for producing massive ugly shit. AP has absolute bastardized the Royal Oak into multiple awful pieces. But my personal bell-weather for terrible is Nataf era Zenith:

Why are my eyes burning again? I thought and hoped that this thread was dead, but it is rearing its "ugly" head again... To the Zenith aficionados, my apologies for this watch. I never knew it existed until now, and I am now sorry that I know it exists.

Well, it’s not an actual watch that’s being produced but...
A few weeks ago during a short drive with my wife and our 1.5 year old, my wife played some baby music to make the ride more enjoyable for him.
One of the songs got stuck in my head and I later realized the rhythm was very similar to the Teletubbies theme song.
Once The name Dipsy (one of the characters if you’re not familiar with the show) popped in my head I knew I had to make this-


If anyone from Rolex is seeing this please don’t send me a cease and desist letter!

One of my watch ambitions is to buy an El Primero. This example is just plain grotesque.

May the horology gods forgive me; pretty much anything made by Richard Mille makes my eyes feel like they're bleeding; this one particularly:



It's like a Care Bear had too much too drink and got sick all over some sort of steampunk nightmare.

Is that watch made out of bacon?

😁 Doubtful, but if I had one and somebody offered to trade me a plain standard Speedy Pro and a plate of bacon for it, the bacon would seal the deal!

This one credited to Mike from Fratello, who is quite the fugly finder ... whilst not in the same league as most in this thread, this is still pretty much up there by my book ...

The Nataf era for Zenith was certainly a low point. But honestly, what do you expect when this is your CEO?
