 I thought it was just too much. I don't know enough about watches to say if it's the mega watch they say it is (lol), somehow I doubt it. I mean, I don't look at the magazines with all the fancy watches. Most of what I know is from here and other forums.

To me the watch wasn't attactive at all. The dial was way too busy and for most of 15 minutes I couldn't even tell where the chronograph hands were.

I seriously doubt their claims that it will be a legendary timepiece.

 I think they forgot the purpose for wearing a watch.  To tell time!  How can you see what time it is on that.  Did anyone see the new Prowlers with the rotating dial?  They put the date out in the bezel too.  I thought that was ingenious and it was still practical although i didn't care for the texture they put all over everything.

My bad, O... I was trying to be kind to the "design" team at Invictum... Did JS have a hand in this one?

 I dunno—I thought the rosetone version was pretty nice. But then I like big gonzo watches ...

The funny thing, Ken, is the pic looks much better than the watch looked on TV. On TV you couldn't see much of anything, it looked too washed out and just messy. Like I said, I didn't even notice the chrono subs for 15 minutes.

And it's HUGE. Eyal is fascinated with huge watches for some reason. They have a new automatic Lupah diver that is 48mm. It's actually a nice design but it's only practical if you're 6' 6" and 300lbs.
