Inspired by the Ugly Christmas Sweater Parties...

I'd like to have a not so serious thread for the "Ugly Watch".

The only stipulation is that it must be a watch you owned and loved at one point. Please post your watch and why you enjoy it.

Here's mine, a Longines 30CH ref 5966 originally retailed by Casa Welch.

An oft discussed topic. Use the magnifying glass at the top of the page and search UGLY WATCHES. I’ll start with this.

You’ll likely find others as well.

 

Neither of those watches are ugly...

That black strap on the top one, though - now that's ugly.

 

I have an ugly Longines! I got it cheap, fully serviced,and it keeps great time.... its a bad redial....and I love it!

May I present, my '44 Longines 12.68z

 

Chrome case flaking... cracked crystal... cheap strap that’s too small... cheap Swedish brand... love this guy.

 

Oh Seiji, the horror! In a show of unparalleled OF gallantry, I volunteer my wrist for your two ugly watches. I will even pay shipping to have them sent to my US address. To cement my show of unbridled altruism, I will send you two of my finest, with an extra Speidel band. I will even pay the shipping for these!

 

A fully serviced 12.68z not attached to anything is a nice find. Attached to an actual case and band is great!

 

I will likely get it redialed a little more properly.

 

Lots of people cheating with not so ugly watches for sure... @Seiji I don’t find them ugly. Were you intentionally fishing for compliments ?

 

Well that second dial does look grimly hahaha

 

It's ugleeeeeee...!!!

 

Originally bought this as a project watch, but never got around to fixing the hands and dial and crown. Still love wearing it, but shy of putting it up on WRUW.

 

We’ll see how many freckled gingers take offense

 

I’m starting to think the Japanese definition of “ugly” is rather stringent, or perhaps just different

 

And I think the watch is rather attractive too

 

This is my idea of ugly

 

Donor movement from the ugly got this little gem in 14k rose gold up and running again.

 

AH, this is where it went! Congrats and dibs!
@Seiji, congrats on your new freckled 30CH — nothing ugly that I can see...

 

Much better looking!

 

I would guess any one of your “uglies” is more valuable than my entire Longines collection!
