Interesting Oris...

Spotted this watch on ebay:



I promise you that is not Jeremy Clarkson. Any care to offer £608 for this beautiful historic quartz masterpiece?

Still not worked out whose cheery grin that is? Here's a link to the auction. I promise you will be amazed.



Perhaps we should start a book on howmuch this actually sells for. I'll take between no sale and £1.

Superb ! You're right I do want a Chairman Mao watch.

Somebody, somewhere must have a collection of infamous dictator watches.

I've always fancied a Cartier Santos; I give you a rather obvious homage featuring one Omar Mouammer al Gadaffi :


These are great!

Is there a Pol Pot Poljot? (Yeah, I know Poljot isn't pronounced that way.)

...or a Papa Doxa?

Best yet! All I could come up with was IWC Fields but he was not a dictator

Im going to acknowledge that! :thumb:

Perhaps the OP's Saddam Oris was what encouraged Oris to return to mechanical watch manufacture only.....?

Maybe an IWC Amin (Idi Watch Company) or a Robert Mugabe RM011?

Too far?

Here a a couple more Gadaffi watches :




Apparently Gadaffi has ordered 250 Chopard watches with his mug on. The picture could be a mock up. Story [url] here | http://shadyboules.wordpress.com/2009/09/08/gaddaf...

I've had the NOS Favre Leuba for years now. Had forgotten about it until this thread.
