Hi Allan,

In all fairness to that model, it still looks better than the spotted Leopard Daytona. Okay, so it's got a lot of bling....but if it's bling you're after, then I guess that would be one way to go!!

Bling for the bling-minded.

Yes, but I am having a hard time convincing myself that anyone who frequents TRF would consider this a watch they would wear (or could even look at for very long without throwing up lunch!). May the blingsters enjoy!!!

And BTW, I particularly enjoyed the "Rorschach Test" dial on the Leopard!!!

NOT ME, I don't think it is horrendous looking, but I would not wear it.
Now maybe if it were only $30k,...
Nah, not even then.

IMO most people with money have good taste. Why would any ass clown with a dime to their name waste their money on these atrocities?

Right you are. Don't underestimate the power of BAD TASTE, however. These ass clowns all have LOTS of money!!!

Prince,

Did you do an image search on the term "Ass Clown" to get the photos of these guys? Or did you use the phrase "Bad Taste"? It is amazing what people think looks good when they have no money, then suddenly fall into some. I'm glad Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan (Who started with nothing and now have more money that all of these rappers combined) still represent a subtle style all can appreciate.

While certainly not my cuppa, why does it bother people what others wear? I mean why does it matter if they like all that diamond stuff? Wearing a Rolex is not exactly original. And I type this with a YM on my wrist.

Afraid its got nothing to do with taste,just a huge profit. When you think of say a solid gold President the actual gold value is around $1000,and the price difference between gold, s/steel .Just think how much profit they can make on a gem encrusted blink watch

Agreed to the max - especially about Woods and Jordan. LOL - I did the image search on "bling and bad taste".
