Ugly.

We also don’t generally like people who engage in the counterfeit “rep” world that you enjoy.

Hi at all, What do you think of my project?
+1 on ugly. They also look ridiculously thick, the mixture of roman and Arabic numerals looks goofy, and the indentations on the top look terrible.

I think it is a really cool shop class project and I wish my high school offered a similar experience when I was there.

Even if I could overlook the whole case, I still couldn't get past the screws at 3 and 9 on the dial.

Is that a sample? The finishing looks poor.

This might be one of the all-time worst introduction posts.

I suggest starting from scratch. Nobody is going to buy that.

Maybe you could include more data, it seems that you are making these yourself? If so it's great that you can put together such watches from scratch.

As for the looks and reception it will certainly depend on the personal taste of each individual. I am personally past the large bulky watches but I surely appreciate your talent and work and suggest you continue despite the different opinions of others. To each their own and if you like them, carry on and enjoy. :thumbsup:

The only 'interesting ' aspect is how the strap is sandwiched between the case. Dial looks horrible, case proportions make it look huge and all those cut out on the case is a brilliant storage place for the sand dredged from Mr D Jones locker.
On a positive note, you are winning at the worst ever introduction

Where is that angry champagne guy?? Isn't he the resident Defender of Startups and Replica Forums?!

As for the watch in question, all I will say is I like Cali dials... the end.

The screws on the dial are a huge no.

I won't be a buyer, but I appreciate your efforts in making a watch and trying to be original. Please stay away from the replica watch world....think about how you would feel if somebody copied your designs.
