That is gopping!
I think I need to engage my understatement alert after that post...The bezel looks like a freeze dried dog turd ffs!
The titanic is an awful thing, can't think why anyone would want something with the association.
When I first saw/heard about the watch it seems that the case is made from a salvaged piece of the hull. Turns out that whilst strictly this is true, a tiny piece of the hull has been smelted with other metal and it is this that is then used to form the watch case. So the oxidation of the case is a bit of a fraud and (if you were into that kind of thing) you could actually point to any single piece of the watch that was made from the hull.
IMO, when you have to market like this to get a niche it is a sure sign that there are enough watch designs in the world!

Putting the Titanic issue aside for a moment - the last 2 pictures are quite interesting. The 'Fred Flintstone' look of the 2nd from last looks unique and seems to be open and belt driven, which is interesting. The bottom picture is actually an interesting dial design - quite cool looking in a 'curiosity' way. I'd never buy either though, not in a million years - but I'd probably have a close look if I saw one on display.
The titanic ones are horrible though. Both in design and concept.
