The first ones looks like the Punisher....or a bad copy of it.
A character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Publisher Stan Lee provided the name.
This copy doesn't look real great.
But it looks very nice on my 1911 45ACP grips though : )

Makes an $8,000 plus watch look like an $8 watch IMO. But, in the end it's your watch and your money.

There are people with money and no taste, that's the demographic that they are shooting for. :)

The Destruction of a Submariner and Explorer II

To each their own. Imagine having every single SS watch already - AND being a fan of the punisher. It's still a great watch mechanically.

Alec Monopoly does some Rolexes as well as some Lambos, they're different but certainly sell well.

I don't mind the color scheme on the second one. I like red on black... still not a fan of the watch though.
