I love it when they even can not hit the major divisions right. 60 bpm at 29 seconds? Nope!
Hombres; you can do better because you can not do much worse;-)

Oh my god, they're taking over all of the "U" countries, what's next Uganda, Uzbekistan? 😲

Sorry to offer an non-Omega example, but I really think this is the most astonishing....thing...I've ever seen. How can we worry about the shape of the 'S' in Seamaster when someone can do this? Comes complete with rose petals, it would seem. I will leave it to CanberraOmega, JimInOz (et al) to explain further about how the heat gets to a man and makes him do odd things....

You can see the ghost of the original logo just above the repaint

And yet... 100% eBay rating. Hmmm.

It's OK, he's from Brisbane 😜

I will give points for a creative re-casing exercise 😬

But that's the second one in the last week or so. MMMD posted a Zenith with the same imaginative approach.

Maybe someone actually think that is cool? 🤔
At least the listing says "custom".... ::stirthepot:: Strange brew!

I picked this one up for spares some years ago myself... I wonder what the guy who did this one was drinking!
Look how he managed to make the crosshair into, well, not a cross 😲 And the other graphics?

The rest of the watch actually performed very good so I have never broke it up.
Anyone with a decent 138SS caliber dial to sell may feel free to contact me!

Sorry, didn't see that one, still don't - must be on the Zenith forum. Wild stuff, any which way.
