The Big Bang...
I know i shouldn't like it. It's big, brash and blingy, the bought-in ETA movement etc.
But I can't help it, I want one! Am I mad?

Now it all makes sense.

Get yourself a BB.

We could merge this thread with the U-boat one?

What's the problem.

Most watches are like this to a certain extent. Most are wildly overpriced when something cheaper tells the time better. Most brands are all about marketing and creating illusions of exclusivity and image.

If you like it buy it. Most branding is just advertising nonsense anyway. hehe

If we only purchased based on pure logic we'd all probably all be wearing the cheapest digital watches. Possibly.

Ive had a BB Ice for a while, yes its big and brash, the darker ceramic ones are less "blingy" but I like it. Different watches for different occasions etc ! and always down to personal taste

Do yourself a favor and go and buy a $200 fake.

It'll be 99% indentical and will save you £10k!

You'll quickly tire of it!

Not my cuppa.

Unless you are an overpaid professional footballer with money to burn, you would have to be certifiable to buy one brand new. Second hand, after 75% depreciation, then maybe you could make a case for one.

I'm looking at 2nd hand ones, the basic steelo model with black rubber strap can be had for £5k ish.
In a similar vein I also like the Corum Admiral's Cup, which is a lot cheaper.
Just fancy a bit more "in your face" the weekends, to make a change from my JLC workhorse.

Look at the screw heads in the bezel. Look at them.

See? Cured. You can't possibly want one now.

I see your point.

Have you seen the U-Boat thread?

I say do it - I really like them. They might have a reputation for being footballer bling, but in the flesh I think they look great - especially the darker versions and Ice Bang.
