Maybe I'm missing something but to me it looks like a cross between a slot machine and a cigarette lighter. I don't care how high tech or well engineered it is to me its an aesthetic catastrophe.  Just my two cents. But thats why they make black cars and red cars.

I'm with you.  Looks like a turbocharged engine for the wrist.  The craftsmanship certainly seems to be there....  

It feels like there's something I'm missing.  I don't get it.  I sort of feel the same way about the Grateful Dead and Phish.

Whatever.  I'm gonna wait for the revolutionary, only company in the world who has the knowledge on how to build such complicated timepieces, the leader of innovation, Invicta to come up with a original (based on the actual original) design.  I'm guessing it will be as cool as that hit the "jump hour" or disc hour .  However you wanna look at it.  My guess, it will be based on a box of matches and then a Sub Aqua can come shooting out the side.  I'll name it a matchqua.  It'll be cool.  The really sweet thing is it will say reserve and have a msrp of $1,000,000,000,000. and sell for only $2,099.  Which incidentally will be the number of the limited edition it will come in.  Pick a flavor dial.  Meteorite, tsavorite, fool's gold, dehydrated human feces (so hard to get paper thin.)  However, the most limited dial will be......  Drum roll.........................  The testicles of the American Bald Eagle.  Yee ha.  I can't wait.

What can I say.  The earthquake woke me up way early and I'm loopy.  That is a cerazy watch.
