Picked up a "funky/hideous" cheapie from the bay

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I found a funny watch on e-bay that I threw in an offer for just for fun, and I got it for 30$.

It is heavy, (138 gram), thick, (22mm) and kind of ugly.... but at the same time kind of cool. :sconey:

It's automatic but I don't know what movement. Most certainly cheep Chinese.

 

The dial is concave and the glass convex. Gives the feeling of a globe shape when looking at it.

Overall the watch seem to be well put together with no flaws on it.

 

Anyway....just thought I'd share this with you..... :)

Man, that's weird. Dunno whether 'funky' is the word I'd use, but it's certainly different! :)

Yeah..... maybe just plain "strange" is a better description! :sconey:

Interesting and kinda cool in a way. You'll probably get lots of comments on. Date window's kind of bizarre, though.

Oh. I dunno. I like it. In an American jingoistic kind of way.

 

Everyone knows the solar system revolves around the Earth. And all things encompassed, even time, revolves around the United States. :)

I'm sure Sweden has far to much 'taste' than to be included on the dial of a watch of this nature. Unfortunately it suits The United States perfectly! I just feel bad for Canada and South America :)

You've definitely won in the strange category, but I may have you beat in the ugly category with this Patek Fantasy piece. Could be a tie though, :)
