Too busy. Hard to see the hands.

ETA: if I'm going to spend $100,000 + on a watch.
It would be this.

Why would someone pay that much for a watch that you have to concentrate for ten seconds to tell what time it is?

If it was not 100k I still wouldn't buy it.

It is too busy

looks like some POS off chronoshark.

A $30 trac phone displays the time also... AND the date.

I like quality watches, but in this case I might choose the trac phone.

I prefer the looks of this watch much more. I don't have to concentrate to tell the time.

yeah, if I'm buying a $100k+ goofball watch like that, it would be a Richard Mille.

That thing looks like something a car salesman who sells little bags of coke on the side would wear.

Kind of the aesthetic opposite of the Pilot Automatic, isn't it?

Meh... when I want to look at busy, I look at my $200 Citizen Eco Drive Nighthawk.

It's jewelry. Guys won't buy bracelets, unless you make one that ostensibly serves a "tool" function. Appealing to the gadget/techie/engineering side is an added bonus.

$137,000 is a house, not a watch.

That watch must be "5 better" than all of the normal watches with red marked bezels only to the 15 minute mark.

Good lookin' watch BTW.

And yeah... watches are the ONLY jewelry I'll wear besides my wedding band.

How the fuck are you supposed to tell the time at a glance?

The cheapass vostok diver I have on now is 20 mins of red, and IIRC, my Seiko is as well.

Too much going on.

Looks kinda ghetto to me. I know it's high dollar man jewelry, but damn.

Admittedly I'm not much of a watch kind of guy, but that thing is downright hideous

My watch for the day. Love my Vintage red

Looks like something you would buy at a mall kiosk for $30.

Posted: 12/14/2012 6:55:18 AM EDT

The REAL irony is that a $30 quartz Timex is more accurate. And much easier to read.

The tourbillion is a very expensive addition to very expensive mechanical watches that may have no effect on accuracy at.

all.

That watch is fugly.
