The 'What do you think of my new watch?' thread ( https://www.watchuseek.com/f2/what-do-you-all-think-my-new-watch-3000282.html ) just made me wonder what other conspicuous luxury watches there might be out there...
Remark that by conspicuous, I do mean eye-catching, but not necessarily in a positive way. Kanye West's gold custom-made Tiret comes to mind!
This might not be to everyone's taste, but personally I love this g-shock (I've been trying to get hold of one, but unsuccessfully): View attachment 7606106
Having spent several years in Saudi, most of these so called luxury watches are eye catching but oh my ... gaudy comes to mind.. and oh my.. more money then people know what to do with is the other thing that comes to mind.. right up there with large gold chains and bracelets. That only my opinion!!
While I don't like ostentatious stuff in general, I have always thought a splash of color is a good way to individualise otherwise boring ensembles. I always used to wear ties with "personality" with my otherwise bog-standard conservative suit and shirt.
And while large and loud watches aren't my thing, I can understand the appeal.
What I find amusing is the disparaging comments made by people about those with different tastes - to me, that comes across with using "I have class" as a defense mechanism of sorts. Against what, I don't know - perhaps the sight of "undeserving" people with far more money?
(Yeah I am being *****y. Crammed flight and we sat for 45 min in the sun without aircon before taking off. I hate flying. It used to be cool at one time - now I'd rather take a train or a bus if I can!)
