I can see the appeal of something that needs 4 times as many battery changes as a regular quartz.

A useful excuse if one is shagging the till girl at Timpsons.

I don't usually use the abbreviation 'lol', but ... $999? LOL!

Didn't Zenith produce a watch with the internals of a pocket watch, which surely would've been bigger than 66mm?

Yes - The Pilot Montre D'Aeronef Type 20 has a 67.6mm diameter case according to Zenith's website

No - they did a special edition that was massive.

I thought I'd seen bigger rapper type watches, maybe they look bigger with all the extra depth and bling.

Somehow I knew this thread would be about a Diesel watch!!

Whilst killing time in Jenners, Edinburgh, I saw some of these gargantuans. It struck me that probably the best thing to do would be to stick it in a wooden cabinet and call it Grandfather then put a match to it. Pointless unless said Timpson's girl is a stunner.

Who would wear this watch? "Only the brave."

Can anyone tell me what time its says?

[Clinton Baptiste]

I was thinking that, how do you actually tell the time with it?

Erm, the hands?

Set to 10 to 2 on each of the 4 movements in the pics.
