YES! That was the first thing I thought. Give me some gold ol’ white lume.

I said Oh dear, not Al Deere.

That’s all I’ve got to add really.

Oof! I got my models mixed up. I’ve corrected my original post in an attempt to salvage my joke.

£1000 for it also ?

More money than sense if you buy it.
But it has the potential to dynamically expedite competitive collaboration and idea-sharing, while at the same time competently evisculating multifunctional core competencies.

I had to look up evisculating

Mr Jones was exactly the brand I was thinking of earlier when I thought that other companies do quirky as the core of the brand.

Definitely not for me and I’ve no idea if it’ll sell with its target market. This release does make me think I’d like to see CW try and make more of the base Acquitaine. Aside the variants (Dune etc), they haven’t really developed other colourways of the non GMT version.

So, I confess, did I.

I saw it on a website that generates random corporate BS, and thought it looked appropriate. I have no firm idea of the meaning (if there is one at all). However, assuming it derives from Latin in the same way as eviscerating, it could mean removing either small notes or bird-droppings.

I rather like the idea of evisculating my car after it has been parked under trees.

Yes, odd really. I found it a bit strange that green was offered as a standard colour, but the obvious choice of black with white lume, never made it to production.
I think faux lume has had its day. That said, a forum member did a fantastic digital mock up of how a 'vintage' Aquitaine should look, if done properly.

I’d be interested in a vintage Acquitaine largely because I’m thinking of offloading my vintage C60 and want a smaller alternative. I think that would work ok.

This is neither fun nor wacky or even cartoonish; it's just cringe.

Is this what CW has been reduced too? Tacky gimmicks to be worn as a novelty? Or a cynical cash grab using the left over bits from the parts bin?

And at this point in catching up with posts from page 4 onwards I suddenly thought Bel Cantos in every colour of the rainbow...I'm ashamed of my thoughts.

Love it, actually, as an office guy that one day woke up from being an entepreneur to working in a publicly traded company overnight, this ticks all the boxes. Especially after WFH introduced endless calls.

However, with two watches incoming by end of the year, I cannot mentally justify getting this one. I would love to.

As a guy who spent $700 on a "kitsch" watch (helson blackbeard), this feels like a lot of $$ for a kitschy watch.

Here's the definition I found
"Professionally evisculate: Seamlessly incubate client-centric information without synergistic innovation. Competently administrate team building catalysts for change and next-generation outsourcing. Progressively innovate backend supply chains and customized systems. Assertively incubate open-source leadership vis-a-vis."

I just can't tell if this is real or not.
