I don't know what it is (is it a mechanical calculator from the 30's?) but I like it! Going to the order page now. Ehhhhhh, starting at $220,000. Let's see, bank account: -1234 Euro, that's no good. Old sock: 2 cents, no good either. Kayleigh's piggy bank: 156.67 Euro. Well it's a start. Ahhh, ahhh, ouch, yes dear, I'll put it right back. Sorry Padi, the watchumathingy has to wait

That monstrosity is an insult to the word "Horology"...even an ugly RADO on a NATO strap would look prettier than that.

If you read the article, it goes on to describe what geniuses the guys who came with that Frankenstein are.

UGH - JJ

LOL! Certainly is....I've seen that strap a million times being posted on the previous forum we frequented. I've seen it in real life too....I don't think I could ever get to like the design or the concept.

And then to add insult to injury, to pass that strap through the lug pins and under the caseback of a Rolex......oooooooh, I could just die!!

So, uh, what tune does it play when you turn the handle? I assume it's specifically made for well-heeled money-organ grinders?

I truly can't believe anyone would even think of wearing such a monstrosity on their wrist. Try tucking that under your shirt cuff!!
