    Browsing through the endless listings of crap watches on the big net I sometimes (too often) come across watches that does things to my eyesight and stomach!
    I know that what makes me want to poke my own eyeballs out with a stick may actually be to other peoples liking. ::weird:: I leave that to themselves and potentially their shrinks!

    Now Guys and Gals; Bring on the Bad & Ugly ones!::facepalm2::


    I will start of with this "beauty"... Is someone actually wearing these???

    The price on the next one may prove a tad higher than the Invicta above. Quality wise I am sure it is very good, but I can still not see any MAN I know wear this without trying to chew his own arm off:

    By now, everyone knows of the leopard Daytona:

    However, not everyone knows about these monstrosities:

    I used to do press releases on a different forum for Blancpain, Breguet, Maurice Lacroix, and MB&F. No bull, these were the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I quit doing any promotional material after those.

    This is quite nice, swan dial and everything, but perhaps too much going on on the bezel, I dunno :taunt: :taunt:

    I was about to ask where I could buy that - my wife likes owls. Then I googled it, saw the price and remembered that I got her $70 worth of flowers last week. :cautious:

    Granted it's a little large, but I don't know that I would include this in the list of "Nightmares".
