What time is it? Watches and horology

It's a 166.0088.

Love how the dial has a sunburst effect in sunlight but goes a matte indigo inside/shade

It has taken me about five minutes to figure out the name of the brand from the dial. Unbelievable.

I'm just kind of hoping that the aspect ratio is off in some of these pictures:

That watch is a horror show.

not sure , will try and find out.
gorgeous it is though.

Genius Gentas are set to retail for $5,000 USD

Holy shit

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Are you kidding me? No way

Bit late for an April fools isn't it?

If anyone says they like it, are we banning or lynching them?

It's a 166.0088.

I've had a few lessons on losing money selling watches on recently. I wonder how much you'd get back from your $5k on eBay? My bet is that it will perform worse than my Seiko and Eterna...

I'm embarrassed for everyone involved in that. Do they actually have the rights to use Genta's name on a watch?

ty - cursory search reveals quite a wide but attainable price range for online sales - look like its time to go down the rabbit hole a bit!

Spot on .

Living with themselves is punishment enough.

That case shape is giving me some weird sort of motion sickness.

Thanks, will order one I think

Converted a NATO into a single pass NATO, permanent but much more comfortable and can hide the buckle under my wrist now.

Cool, they really are great straps. Don’t forget to budget for the import tax though.

Just showed that Genius thing to a colleague who owns a Royal Oak and a Nautilus. He's not a watch snob. He's really into cheaper watches. He did puke in his mouth when he saw the Genius though :D

Its a bona fide horror show.

He's really into cheaper watches.

who owns a Royal Oak and a Nautilus.

wut

Owning an expensive watch doesn't mean you can't also admire and own cheaper ones but sure, when you put it like that...

Just pinged @ejay2.0 about a repair on his daily beater actually.

TBF Royal Oak and Nautilus are both cheaper than, say, a George Daniels.

Or Richard Mille. Have you guys seen whats been happening to those on the 2nd hand market?

They've become the new "made it" watch and demand is through the roof. Some models are selling for x3 retail.
