I’m certain I would be kicked off the OB if I were to express my thoughts on watches enjoyed by other habituės of the message board, that I do not particularly like! So I keep my thoughts to myself. I am certain that many watches that make me hum might be disliked by others. Good thing we’re not all the same.

I’m glad when someone likes a watch that I find morally, if not legally offensive - Corum, I’m looking at you. Diverse tastes means fewer people competing for the watch I might want. Plus, it makes life interesting

Any Romain Jerome. MSRP = $15K and typically discounted down to sub $4K and still on the shelves.

What is the deal with that twelve marker on that watch?!

I want a real twelve on the dial, or at least a tastefully styled marker, if I am to lay out big money on a watch.

That watch is as ugly as some people’s babies.

There is so much to hate on that watch.
I wont list the numerous things I dislike there's just too many, but that unbalanced text layout and I am made in china font are enough.

What do you mean by “that unbalanced text layout and I am made in china font are enough.”???

I thought we are talking watches here.

look I like most Daytonas. But this variation just makes no sense to be.

Hate is a strong word, I think I will use "not my cup of tea" instead. Its British and thereby classy and non offensive to people that think critique of their watch choice is like slandering their mother.

But I also enjoy a bit of friendly inter brand banter and that is rarely seen on OF ( Omega forum, not onlyfans). Its just fun, so give us some banter you entry level wearing sons of b###es.

All about ones taste 😗


Picture curiosity of https://www.fratellowatches.com/speedy-tuesday-omega-speedmaster-pro-tintin/

Can't stand it, looks like the Ratatouille Speedmaster to me. The red and white look like a tablecloth or a poker chip. Dunno just me




Can't work it out same as multicoloured NATOs

( can I write NATO or does that guy on eBay own the word NATO now or still ? ! How would you pay this guy for everytime you wrote NATO ? )

Having grown up in aviation, the red and white checkers makes me think of the checkered nose of a p51 mustang 😎





But, I can totally see a tablecloth as well 😁

This.

Was totally meant to be a fun, rib-poking exercise and not to be taken seriously. I thought the inclusion of Larry David and the Mole from Austin Powers was tip-off enough; apparently not for some.

Apart from the obvious, GMT watches that only manage two timezones using four hands. I own two three-handers that manage this task with a simple moveable bezel. For three or more timezone tracking there is my phone. Or even mental arithmetic 😉

I own no GMTs.
