... because I know it's overpriced, I know it incorporates a cheap quartz movement, and I know I'd grow to hate the 'David Coulthard Edition' script on dial. However that aside, IMHO it's one of TW Steel's nicer pieces. I think it's the sandblasted finish and 'greyed-out' design that does it for me, rather than the usual all black phantom style watches.

The case is stainless steel and bezel is PVD coated titanium. Also, at 44mm, it's one of TW Steel's more conservative sized watches. Price for the 44mm version is £625, whereas the 48mm variant comes in at £675 boxedin



What do you think?

Take the TW bit off and stick a decent auto movement in it and it'd be alright, as it is...

I like it! But TBH I don't really care which movements are in what, I just buy them because they look nice. Don't like the DC bit though.

Not so bad (and I never thought I'd say that about a TW Steel!) actually, I can see why you like it.
The DC script would frustrate me though as would paying that much for it!

NO, NO and NO!

I can't stand the brand. Well overpriced and clearly a Hublot wannabe.

That watch is much better looking than any Hublot I've ever seen! And as for overpriced..........

What's it worth 50-75 quid? I'd rather have a used monster though

It could be worse ... TW could release an Eddie Jordan special edition eek

ETA: Just seen this wrist shot of the watch:

Actually. I'll take back what I said earlier about it looking alright.

If it had a bit more contrast to it then it might look OK, but that looks properly cheap and nasty on the wrist.
