Icon13 Looking for a Sea-Dweller 43 and came across the goofiest SD in the world...

As I have stated a couple times recently, I am beginning the hunt for a SD 43. I found out today (the hard way) that there are waiting lists everywhere.

So now I went to fleabay and saw a couple for like $15,500 each. Then I decided to change my search criteria to highest price first.

Oh wow... I have never seen a dumber looking watch in my entire life. If you should so dare, have a glance: Dumbest Looking Sea-Dweller in the world

It literally made me feel sick to my stomach seeing this watch. Who in their right mind would wear something like this??

Okay... done with my rant... Back to searching for my SD43 so I can join the SD43 Owners' thread. I hope everyone is having a good day/night (depending on where you're from).

Sounds like you haven't met Vladdy yet - a rite of passage for all watch enthusiasts.

Mr. Jackson Stone... Who is this fabled Vladdy about whom you speak?

I believe I am ready for this rite of passage, but maybe I am only a fool and I am not ready. I will let you decide.

Oh now I see... Vladdy is quite the ladies man

Might one consider the use of the word "douche?" Or is he is a good guy who loves the bling?

Personally, I can't understand putting diamonds on a watch unless it is for a woman. Of course, that is only my opinion.

They in love with the lifestyle

Vladdy himself doesn't wear that much ice. Goes for the Bluesy a lot. Mad respect.

I hope he's not a Russian Outfit guy who is starting to do a little research on this Tom Wentworth guy from L.A. for impolitely using the word "douche." Sorry Vladdy. That was uncalled for. Mad respect to the god of bling.

Too much bling on a watch. No diamonds for me.

lol epoxy - why trouble oneself with nuisance of mixing the ingredients from two tubes when one tube of generic super glue will be just as wrong?
