I personally think it would look better if Jochen Benzinger got ahold of it.

Here it is: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...mtid=824&kw=lg

Dreadful

mapalfa · 28 July 2016, 05:14 AM

It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but still a big fat no from me.

JSI · 28 July 2016, 05:28 AM

Just horrible

Toronto Soup King · 28 July 2016, 05:30 AM

I think u/Kingface66 put it perfectly

Brianmac 883 · 28 July 2016, 05:30 AM

A travesty!

marcusjcw21 · 28 July 2016, 05:40 AM

Notice they say the dial is after market. I wonder if it started as an original dial and a guy just took out his manual drill and jewelers saw and went to town?

motoikkyu · 28 July 2016, 05:43 AM

Go big or go home: if you have the guts to skeletonize a dial, you better do some engraving on the movement to make it look interesting. Otherwise, you get a result like the one we are seeing. Skeletons aren't for everyone, I freely admit that BUT a really attractive skeleton watch can be a thing of beauty.

Now imagine it if Jochen Benzinger did the movement and dial... Here is one example (of many) of Benzinger's skeletonization and rose engine turning and hand engraving to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

forgedblades · 28 July 2016, 05:59 AM

My question is WHY!!!!!????

Here is one that actually looks a little better. I think he realized he took out too much material on the first one lol

IMO it look dumb because the movement isn't really worth looking at.

lol They might be willing to accept your offer. It couldn't hurt to ask, could it?

AS1 · 28 July 2016, 07:11 AM

omg just awful

marcusjcw21 · 28 July 2016, 09:48 AM

It is pretty bad, but the other one I posted isn't as bad, is it?

Here is the link again: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...mtid=824&kw=lg

And here is the skeletonized DeepSea I posted in WatchOut... http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...mtid=824&kw=lg

All from the same retailer I believe.

Old Geezer · 28 July 2016, 10:08 AM

Ugh, opened the link and now can't unsee this travesty. What on earth would motivate someone to do this?

Danny83 · 28 July 2016, 10:10 AM

Nobodys gonna buy that

GradyPhilpott · 28 July 2016, 10:10 AM

Someone should have his knuckles crushed.

enjoythemusic · 28 July 2016, 10:13 AM

That is modded dial, not skeletonized, which generally refers to the movement.

IMHO, dreadful visually. He needs to take apart the movement and remove as much metal as possible and add more decoration.

eonflux · 28 July 2016, 10:46 AM

Looks awful
Without skeletonizing the movement, not much can be seen from the dial side, so really no point

Some of that hand engraving looks terrible! Guy must have the shakiest hands I've ever seen. Needs another drink to even himself out!

Dr.Brian · 28 July 2016, 10:53 AM

That's a joke. Who would want that when they can get an actual skeletonized movement?
It's just horrible.

Muzz · 28 July 2016, 11:07 AM

Would not be something I would be interested in.
