No serials to speak of? ...Obviously a prototype!
Missing parts? ...Intentional! The main plate only served to anchor the dial!

Also, If this was only to be a compass, why did they bother to place watch hands?
Why wouldn’t the prototype also feature a compass dial?
I bet you it sells for >25k

Personally, I don’t mind Tropical and in many cases think it adds to the beauty of the watch. Personally I think this dial is owed a new term... tropical was it’s previous life. This is, as dhendolan says, its Hiroshima!

It has passed through a spray-paint street artist!
Ridiculous.
