I like the heinously bad and the outlandishly bold. Here is the latter. This watch combines a Ukrainian approach to pocket-watch restoration with a color palette straight out of Mumbai, and somehow it happened in Italy. Huge points for audacity, and not so bad technically.

"Tribute To Ferrari" - Looks more like a slap in the face! ::puke::

This one is much less inspired. Lackluster color. Unfortunate font. Ham-handed application of furnishings, with star tilting one way and '6' tilting the other.
Rating: ** (2 out of 10 stelline).

This came from the gold-star student in the first grade penmanship class... I give the redialer credit for sheer ambition. This is a fairly complex dial for which to attempt a free-hand redial. I give it a ***** (5/10 stelline)

That one is outstanding. Ambitious indeed, and to execute such a vision in WATERCOLORS?! Unparalleled audacity. Let's hope there's a new gasket in there.

Well at least its "RARE", I'd hate to see too many more like it!

Thing is, this guy managed to find a pretty unusual pattern of hands (note the trapezoidal flanges at their base, and the teardrop at the base of the second hand) to put on this watch. I've only seen these on cal. 135s, some Captains and the rare stellina dress watch. Who knows what this watch was before it was defaced?

Stellar example of a Mumbai redial. Like Easter eggs on the wrist!

Just some generic bad redial garbage - not even shocking - just shoddy.

Aaaaaaaarrrrrggghhhh

Hey, you were warned!

It's kinda cute actually. I'd like to punch the jackass who made it in the face repeatedly, but I bet a woman would buy it.
