Romain Jerome got balls
Here is my view.
Sad - It is certainly not sad. RJ knows what is "good".
Funny - it is also not funny. I think GG mickey mouse watch is more funny.
Offensive - it may be offensive to some. Will someone object if a celebrity's tombstone be used to make case or dial?
Stupid - it appears to be stupid to use such inferior material for the case but...
Brilliant - it is very brilliant in term of marketing.
If RJ don't do this, what can they sell?
Regards
Ling

I would take a look at it from the standpoint of the Purists, well why not, that is where we are discussing this. The marketing is brilliant, if in fact the sales numbers are to be believed and all these watches are actually made, work, and then willing b...
