Meh, set the bar low- you only impress from there. Mongo has made a career of this.

That was the first photo I found with Google Images.
The thing you see >|| is actually what shows up when you press play/pause. There is a button on the right hand side what will show the hour and then the minutes.
I took a photo of it showing the minutes.

Even if I could afford the %500,000 whatch (sic) that I posted, and even if I could justify paying for it, I wouldn't. This thread is about notable watches, not necessarily good looking watches.
But I stand by the Nooka, Nixon and Movado watches that I posted earlier.

Yup!
The more "MOST" the better!

The only thing impressive about this watch is the price. It looks like something you'd get in a high-end Christmas cracker.

Nice thread, I'm a bit of a watch nut... Macs and wristwatches are my poison
The daily...
The beater...
The Bell & Ross is lovely, I'm up for trading my PAM111 up to a B&R BR0192 Orange when I get some spare funds (no time soon then  ).
Also B&R have a lovely OS X screensaver, enjoy: Bell & Ross Official Website (look in goodies and choose the watch you most fancy - they have the Phantom on there too  )

Does anyone else not like how busy some of these watches are? I guess that makes them expensive, but I'm not a fan.

Agreed. That 007 watch is just freaking awful. KISS!

Agreed. "Minimalism" describes my sense of style. Even if I could afford one of the ridiculously expensive watches posted in this thread, I wouldn't buy it. They're not my style.
But this thread isn't about good-looking watches; it's about "most" watches.
