    I like the heinously bad and the outlandishly bold. Here is the latter. This watchPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network combines a Ukrainian approach to pocket-watch restoration with a color palette straight out of Mumbai, and somehow it happened in Italy. Huge points for audacity, and not so bad technically.

    "Tribute To Ferrari" - Looks more like a slap in the face! ::puke::

    This onePurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network is much less inspired. Lackluster color. Unfortunate font. Ham-handed application of furnishings, with star tilting one way and '6' tilting the other.

    That one is outstanding. Ambitious indeed, and to execute such a vision in WATERCOLORS?! Unparalleled audacity. Let's hope there's a new gasket in there.

    Thing is, this guy managed to find a pretty unusual pattern of hands (note the trapezoidal flanges at their base, and the teardrop at the base of the second hand) to put on this watch. I've only seen these on cal. 135s, some Captains and the rare stellina dress watch. Who knows what this watch was before it was defaced?

    Stellar example of a Mumbai redial. Like Easter eggs on the wrist!

    Just some generic bad redial garbage - not even shocking - just shoddy.

    Hey, you were warned!

    It's kinda cute actually. I'd like to punch the jackass who made it in the face repeatedly, but I bet a woman would buy it.
