What do you think of the Jacob & Co Grand?

Recommended Posts

DallasGTA

Fellow rep enthusiasts,

 

I would like to ask for your opinion on this watch.  It's a Jacob & Co Grand.  As you probably know, this manufacturer is usually know for their bling and diamond encrusted watches.  This model is somewhat less flashy due to the absence of any stones.

So...  what do you think?  Is this quartz rep a yay or a nay?

Too shiny, makes it hard to see the teeny dials.

Plus, looks like it's a Oulm branded piece........and should be priced accordingly.

The watch is less flashy due to the absence of any stones style. Sorry, I've seen Diesel watches that interest me more than that watch.

So they stuck five quartz mini dials on a turd shaped case and call it high Horology?

 

It's a nay for me

So - that's only a 5 time zone watch? If each dial also had a GMT hand then I'd think about it.... JJ That's a no for me.

I don't think it's too far off from the gen, is it?  Price I saw for it was $80 USD.

Well, the photo is shit so it's hard to judge, but just look at the "engraving" of the center logo... look like it was done by a Michael J. Fox and a dremel ...

Well it's a watch that was designed by someone wasted on acid. So I guess you could call it High Horology? :lol:

You’re mistaken, engraving on this particular model is performed by none other than the great Muhammad Ali himself
