What’s Your Ugliest Watch?
Most of us have an ugly duckling (or two or few) in our collection - so let’s see them!
Mine is this two-tone Rodolphe by Longines with huge screw-shaped lugs and a forest green leather strap. Such a strange design, I don’t get it.
It once belonged to a family member (who shall remain unnamed) and I haven’t worn it once (in public) since I received it about seven years ago.
What‘s the ugliest watch you own? Pics or it didn’t happen. 😜

At least it’s interesting. Kind of looks peach themed maybe? This has to be my ugliest… so far.
This would be the time to own a Richard Mille or an Invicta! Anyway, my wife swears that this is the ugliest watch in my collection. She says it is blocky and sits on my wrist like an ugly brown lump of ****. I like it, but I like all my watches. That is why I had to ask her. 🤣
p.s. she also likes your Longines Rodolphe, so her taste may be questionable! 😂
This....is something else haha! I don't have a... Let's say "different" watch like you do, but i'll try to come comment when i do :p

Isn’t she um, “special”?? 😆
Most people say it’s the Bubble, I think it’s the Vostok. Or these Neffs.

Your wife’s comment about the brown lump is hilarious 🤣

Definitely Monster-like but I wouldn’t necessarily say ugly. 💪🏻
Wowzers! That’s quite a statement!

So many colors! I dig them
The perfect watch for timing your parking meter.
Probably in style when my grandfather bought it, but not so mutch anymore.
sentimental value though.
The first watch I ever bought with my own money was a ginormous Skmei ani-digi three-timezone monstrosity that I got from Amazon for $20. I bought it because I swore it had a whiff of 70s kitsch about it, even though people back in the 70s were wearing Royal Oaks and Oysterquartzes and not shit like this.
The buckle broke the first day I was outside of the US in London, and I threw it away later on.

So much going on in one watch! 🎉

I would totally wear this watch today! ❤️
Oh snap… it’s pretty awful, especially the inner bezel
Well, it is quite unique looking.
Ugly is as ugly does... One of my earlier mistakes. It checked a number of boxes, but that's not a good reason to buy a watch now, is it? I've never worn it.
It is not bad actually, 90s styling.
Looking at all these supposed “ugly” watches people are sharing, and I’m like:
“You’re the reason daddy drinks.”
Not too bad actually, reminds me of the Terminator.
From East Germany, with love.

Actually I really dig the way that has worn. Looks like it’s been through the wars.👌

Nope, just cheaply painted. Scratches at the slightest 😆
Wow, great concept for a thread. This was a gift from family, so it keeps a place in my collection despite its strange looks. It is a whopping 23mm thick. I’ve also not worn it in public, maybe I’ll get brave one day.
Gag bday gift from my bro. Aside for maybe a steampunk Halloween costume, no idea when this will ever be worn. The lights do work and a key is used to set the time.
I think this is the winner

woah, that is super thick! Transform it into a desk clock?

That could work! Given it’s looks I keep thinking some kind of watch robot 🥴

I think that this one looks pretty badass actually.

It certainly had to work for it’s charm. That could have been an initial impression when I first was shopping for it.
No words
That’s a good conversation starter piece. I think you can pull it off
Hideously wearable
