WeirdScan from 04.12.- 06.12.: Your acquired taste watch starts now
By: COUNT DE MONET : December 4th, 2020-05:11
Dear friends, this week's round should be a theme that speaks to nearly all of us: show us a piece, that is not to everybody's taste. A piece that is odd, unusual by its shape, size or wierd function. T o give you an example: being 6.2" tall and "big" it ...

Size matters ;-o ... I genuinely love this Zenith but itβs like owning a βloudβ sports jacket, some people just canβt get their head round it ! The shock factor is always amusing, ;-)) ...
Thank you ...

I love unusual designs and things that are more unique. While i do not see a lot of cars that are super unique, I do think that some of the cars I have included did not have a large following when they were first introduced and a lot of crisitim but are n...
Thank you!!

Sensationell! That dial is fantastic.

I can see that it might not sing to everybody but if you take your time to explore the watch, then ... Very well played!

The very quirky Seiko Alpinist SARB017
By: NT931 : December 4th, 2020-16:24
In many ways, this is an odd watch. A watch with a built in compass, adjusted by an oddly placed second crown at 4? Green dial with gold accents? And it comes with a pretty mediocre brown leather strap too. But with an upgrade to an AR crystal, and a thir...
Aaah, the lovely Seiko Alpinist
By: COUNT DE MONET : December 5th, 2020-02:14
A fine example that quircky details can summ up into a very likeable watch. That strap is cool! Where did you get it?
Thanks Abel & the Count!
By: NT931 : December 5th, 2020-04:49
I got the bracelet from Strapcode, as they have specifically designed ones for the SARB017. Decently priced and quite comfy on the wrist!
Hello, dear Fernando
By: COUNT DE MONET : December 5th, 2020-02:17
A 70ies watch with two crowns on one side is a fine exampel of a acquired taste watch. A charmimg Vulcain Cricket!
Thank you.

Yes, the perpetual dilemma: case shape! This Seiko is not for everybody but the true watch lover. Nice entry!
They're not seen often, probably on account . . .

Was looking through some of my boxes & pics but just came up with one humble single piece.. Thus without further ado, here a rather rare Ref. from LeCoultre, for me a really funky piece: LeCoultre Memovox Ref. LC 3072, a real child of the funky 70ies:...

Aaah, there it is, the Bulova Accutron
By: COUNT DE MONET : December 5th, 2020-05:47
I was expecting one to show up π. It is a charming retro-electro piece. That time only VC is a timeless beautyπ.
Thanks for your kind comments

By: holdemchamp1225 : December 5th, 2020-10:27
The ones below could be categorized as unusual or different but I find each one beautiful or purposeful in their own way. Have to start with the EL2. It is not for everyone as it is big, bold, a bit crazy, etc...but the sum more than justifies the parts. ...
These are extraordinary pieces, indeedπ
By: COUNT DE MONET : December 5th, 2020-10:44
Love your RD Sympathy pp chrono! I think the shape of the case ia gorgeous and the movement also quite impressive. The others are also top, top pieces and hard to pick one of them. Very well played πππ
The new DBs are so beautiful.
By: Watchonthewrists : December 5th, 2020-11:29
But cant go wrong with any DB imho . Amazing style from a great brand

It is in the name: Good Lord!
