The "you just wouldn't, would you" watch thread...

[Hard-Drive]

Right, let's have some stinkers. Not stinkers in terms of "oh, I really don't get the Richard Mille thing" or any "gold Daytona...just too bling" stuff. No "oh, I'd never wear that, it's not actually an in-house movement" or "oh, that's really just a homage to the standard issue Peruvian catering corps watch".

Let's have proper howlers. Crimes against horology, style and common sense. Watches that you wouldn't be seen dead wearing. A bit like the "badly modified car" thread. You can defend them if you like, but be prepared for flaming cans of whoosh parrot flavoured red bull to rain down on you.

I'll start. I give you the Men's Iced Out Captain Bling 58mm. Beat that...

Now look, we've already said that this isn't a thread for proper watches that don't necessarily float everyone's boats. But Jesus H Christ on stilts, what the hell were they thinking with that???!!! I reckon that's gong to take some beating...how can something that expensive be that bad????

And sell so well... That's the scary bit, not that they make it, that many people buy them.

I know, right. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it had a pink camo dial!

I can see this selling in numbers to the African militias. West Side Boy bling!

Rejoice! It comes in a more affordable version too!

That is so bad that I feel it deserves it's place in the world. I like it for some reason.

It has that "I'm so rich I don't need to even consider taste when buying something" about it.

Luckliy I'm not that rich and my taste is a tad more subdued.

Most of the Michael Kors watches are gash.

Really? I'd not buy one but for what they are they're fairly conservative looking. Middle of the road chronos in gold colours.

That Diesel monstrosity that someone posted the other day. Now that's gash!!!

I certainly do not fit in to that category. It reminds me of something but the memory is proving elusive.

[BrabusMog]

How about this offering from Diesel?

[Miguel Alvarez]

That's the one.
