My latest pick up...

I had my eye on this baby for a while, but never seem to find it at a reasonable price since they were always SOLD out, and resellers took advantage of that. Once I found it (near me), I Drove down to LA (30min drive) and picked up this LAARVEE and a BLANCPAIN SWATCH (Atlantic Ocean) over the weekend. What do you think? Too weird, peculiar, cool, monstrosity...

I thought this was a AI picture. Super cool!

·

I find them interesting in a Dr. Pimple Popper sort of way, but I would never wear one, even if it was a gift

·

Does the bezel work?

·

A watch worthy of Dali.

·

Hahahha i really like this

·

Conversation starter for sure.

·

This is so cool I think I'm going to get myself one 😂 It's in stock on the website

·

I feel like I need to be tripping on acid to tell the time correctly 😁😉

·

I like the absurdist vibe. But I can admire and not desire. Cool, but just not for me.

·

I've been watching this one for a while! Awesome. Where did you find it?

Although…it now has me wondering about effects of high temperature on a Swatch case. 🤔 I wonder how far one could deform one and still get the movement back in and running? 🧐

·

How do they instruct the quality control team to inspect these? 🤣

·

Ali has them under 10 bucks. I got 2 so I can convert them to Swiss Ronda movements and 20mm straps. One black and a green.

·

What fun!

Is this what happens when a Cartier Crash has an illegitimate child with a Rolex Cermit?! 🤔

I went on OFFER UP, picked it up from a local person that had posted it up for sale. I believe someone on this thread mentioned that they are back in stock in the official LAARVEE website.

How much undropp on the larvee?

Definitely a unique work of art 🎨, looks like someone left it on the dashboard on a hot sunny day haha very original and I dig it

Hard to tell, since I bought it as a bundle. Box and papers for both watches, "like new" condition, for $500 cash.

Yeah, but what Ali has is not a LAARVEE but a cheap Chinese copy. You'll find them on ebay enmasse. That's where I got mine. It's a cool party gag. I'd never wear those in "public"! 🤣

·

Very cool watch! Salvador's Submariner..

·

I think its cool in a mad way and I've wanted/not wanted one since I first came over it. But, there's just a but about it.

·

This is so cool! Have never seen it before, literally a love child of the crash and a Rolex 👌🏼

·

Awesome!

·

Face like t' melted wellie! 😎 Daliesk! It's art, love it. The Atlantic Ocean isn't that the Blancpain/Swatch collaboration? they are cool watches too, Swatch watches have character, only thing that annoyed me was loud tick. Maybe this model is quieter? Even could hear tick under the pillow, lol but love the watches.

For a party gag watch $10 bucks is my limit.

·

I probably wouldn't purchase it but I would definitely wear it if I had one.

in regards to the swatch... you're absolutely right, their Quartz mechanism are SUPER loud! However, this one is an automatic, and it is surprisingly quiet, almost like a Tissot. I honestly didn't even know Swatch made automatic movements. I do believe this is their only model with an automatic movement... and it is disposable/non-repairable.

Love it !! Very wavy !
