My wife has declared this to be the ugliest watch I own. I can't even see it - it's honestly beautiful to me. 1975 Seiko 6106-5590 25j SS  |

While not necessarily "ugly", here is my submission:  When Casino Royale came out, I had to check the 'bay to see if I could get something similar to what Bond wore. This is what I could afford...  D. |

Pete - that's a damned ugly watch. Bravo. Pete Just saw this thread now that is ugly in every sense of the word, over here in Aussie that's as "ugly as a hat full of arseholes".

Sorry Spencer, I'm siding with your wife on this one hurry-up-smiley-emoticon
Between the TV shape and the rest of the off-center-ism, it just looks.......wrong.

Sorry Spencer, I'm siding with your wife on this one hurry-up-smiley-emoticon Between the TV shape and the rest of the off-center-ism, it just looks.......wrong. It's a special kind of lovely. The beautiful movement helped me along. The biggest issue with TV dials (for me) are the short hands. When put against the relatively large dial, there's a lack of balance. It's unharmonious. |
