A little too phallic for my test... but to each it’s own.

A masterpiece for sure but I won't wear it, too big and too "freak" for my taste.

I didn’t see the price, but I suspect that it exceeds my budget. My taste is more conventional, too. But YMMV, enjoy!

I like the hand/dial operation, gives it a very mechanical look, but in the non-coated case.

But,

WTH did they put “Freak” on the watch ! I wouldn’t wear it if it was given to me because of that.

I much prefer this variation than the original, it's Ti/steel PVD (I think), although the size is still prohibitive.

I was actually a little surprised when I looked up the price, if I recall is was high 40's retail which to me means mid to high 30's in reality.

Also note that the freak has stood the test of time. It looks as crazy/advanced/high end/master of engineering/how did they do that today as it did 17 years ago.

The new freak out is much for affordable than the previous versions at 48kUSD. This is the retail price and considering that the watch is Ulysse Nardin, I would expect huge discount from retail
