Just when you think is cannot get any worse and then you see this "steampunk art"

I know Jocke does not have this rare DateJust.

And they call this

art.

2th Dr · 29 June 2010, 03:13 AM

I have absolutely no response to that....

Timber Loftis · 29 June 2010, 03:18 AM

You gotta think that dial was really damaged if a $50 pendant is the most money that could have been made from it.

Personally, not my taste, but hey it's recycling!

Looks like a Victorian era voodoo doll. What a waste.

Bisquitlips · 29 June 2010, 03:40 AM

Don't yoose guys know ART when you see it? Sheesh!

tgoose1 · 29 June 2010, 03:52 AM

A fine example of "folk art", the "Timex" version of this piece sells for much less!

Have you seen Fear and loathing in las vegas?

It looks like it was made in tha great movie.

I guess in Kindergarten thay get them better.

That looks like what you would get by trying to pull the pile of jewlery out of your grandmothers jewlery box.

tgoose1 · 29 June 2010, 11:14 AM

I don't think the dial is right, "Oyster Perpetual", and "Day-Date" are not centered with the "L" in ROLEX.

andrew79 · 29 June 2010, 11:42 AM

it's scary ..

springbar · 29 June 2010, 12:03 PM

I kind of like it. I wouldn't describe it as "steampunk" though. It's more Russian-Avant-Garde-meets-Hieronymus-Bosch.

Actually, the first thing I thought of when I saw it was that infamous, weird racist Nazi propaganda poster:

They call that POS "steampunk" and anyone can call it any other name it likes, however

still is

tgoose1 · 29 June 2010, 12:23 PM

This group obviously has no appreciation for "Folk Art". The piece is telling the tender story of a young lady who is pictured within the date ring. I would decode this loving story if those viewing show more appreciation and respect to the artist, and most importantly for the womans' life that this fine artwork depicts!!
