Why Did They Bother? Watch Design Disasters

Post by what-time-is-it »

A design that I dislike might be drop dead gorgeous to you. :silent:
Please find a collection of watches I won't be buying any time soon. I'm sure you can find some others - how some of these got signed off I'll never know. :shock:

I think I prefer Rafa Nadal's Richard Mille to the ones above, slightly more tasteful although £500k so slightly beyond my budget :lol:
