OK, admit it... which watch brand names can you just not get past?
As in, can't purchase because of their name. I will start with the obvious so we get it out of the way now... Karlskrona.
My list (I'm sure I will think of more as I see other's lists):
Limes
Junkers
U-Boat
Croton
Seagull
Wanker
Shinola
Lew and Huey
Undive
Deep Blue
BTW... a number of these make designs I actually like very much. But......

Scurfa - sounds like you'll need multiple trips to a vet.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

Limes and Deep Blue doesn’t bother me. Most of the others I would never consider purchasing regardless of name.
There’s many I see these days whose names I don’t like.
To be honest, breitling is a weird name to me as well as Audemars etc but I can look past it.

I don't mind so much if the brand is someone's surname, like Breitling (Léon Breitling) or Audemars (Jules Louis Audemars), or even Ball (Webb C. Ball)...Parnis nope.tattoo chef wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 8:29 pmLimes and Deep Blue doesn’t bother me. Most of the others I would never consider purchasing regardless of name.

Blancpain. I know it is the founder's last name, but I just keep thinking "white bread".
Still love the watches though.
