seriously WTF

Nico Leonard is just…

He’s been off the rails ever since I’ve seen him hype up those IFL Watches when he despises anyting irreversible and custom. Bro you have a custom made 1 of 1 Ferrari, and then added after market exhausts. What a hypocrite. Same goes to Theo and Harris with the Fake Fragrance debacle, but a whole other story.

This though, even Nico has to see that it is the biggest ripoff I’ve ever seen! Even more so than the Spaghetti Scameti. A 300$, yes THREE HUNDRED DOLLAR watch being sold for 1300$, that is THIRTEEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS just for a paint job that ruins the sacred DIAL that everyone raves about for aesthetics and beauty all over watch YouTube reviews. Like mate, I know being loud and proud of your opinion is your persona, but sometimes being just a bit sensible should do you good mate.

Wondering if other peeps here have seen this atrocity

This watch pretty much encapsulates everything wrong with modern society. Whatever happened to common courtesy? Manners? These days everyone is so self-centered and entitled that it has become acceptable to wear items expressing your own disdain of everyone else around you.

Sigh.

Totally agree mate. I get being loud with your opinion and all, but this has gone way too far off the wrong end. A very poorly executed cash grab imho

I’m not bothered by the obscenity, and don’t think this watch portends dark times. I’m bothered by the fact that it is neither funny nor clever. It’s like the window stickers of Calvin peeing on the logo of whatever truck brand the owner hates.

Childish. I always try to stay positive & encouraging on this forum. When I see something I think is ridiculous I try to just keep my mouth shut. But whoever thought this was a good or "funny" idea really needs to grow up and be a damn man, because they are seriously failing at being an adult. 🙄

I wasn't a fan of him before. I'm not a fan of him now and I never will be.

One of his latest videos had a title along the lines of: the perfect watch collection for poor people.

F*CK you Nico Leonard. First of all, I don't need him to tell me I'm poor. And I certainly don't need him telling me what watch I should buy because I'm poor. He can take his little painted PRX, take his one off Ferrari with a custom exhaust and drive on out of our lives.

If I have offended you, you should be doubly offended by Nico Leonard and what he's trying to sell you.

There, I said my piece. Now on to the watches. They are horrible and without taste.

·

Spaghetti Scametti is pretty much a Tissot with a cool spokesperson, C'mon bro!!😎

·

It's aptly named though. Paying $1300 to have your watch tell you go f-yourself. I can get that done for free.

·

I will defend Nico. Not because of this watch release (overpriced way to much). But because like him or not, Nico did brought watch conversation to the mainstream. Yes his loud. Yes his being silly. But thanks to his personality many people actually learn about our common passion.

Saying all that, I have to admit in Nico style: Fuck this watch. Its ugly as shit

He confuses being loud and obnoxious with being right. A common confusion amongst certain Youtuber's.

Trying to pull a watch Banksy with a "if you know you know" vibe but going into bathroom stall with a Sharpie territory. Although I'd love to see him go at it with Banford on the customization debate. Not everyone is going for rapper with cheap diamonds when they individualize a watch. Even Rolex made one offs and individual edition.

·

Brilliant, but I wish the hands were on the hands.

·

Err, it's not a 1 of 1 Ferrari.

·

Stupid.

·

Can I ask the seemingly rhetorical question? Why would anyone want Mickey Mouse hands flipping you the double bird on your watch?

·

Never heard of him so I did a quick YouTube search. My conclusion after looking at the titles of his videos: If you have to describe yourself as an “expert”, you probably aren’t. This seems like a desperate gasp for relevance.

As for my browsing, I’ll be tossing this crass wannabe back into obscurity.

·

Why do you good people watch this shite?

Turn him off…..simple

·

Nico was fun at the beginning...I just stopped watching him since a long time...now he is a youtuber. Funny, you mentionned theo and Harris: I posted a very agressive comment on their last "I only wear gold" video... those guys are just so fake and cheesy...I can't stand them.

Now, the fun part: I just sent my PRX over to Australia at Koda watches and will have it customised by them. I am very excited about this project, and if it turns out ok, I will have my dream PRX... will post some pics when the time comes

·

Can't stand Nico, he's a plonker.

·

I quite like watching Nico every now and again. It’s a bit of fun in what can be a subject people take way to seriously and are often pompous about, talking about them as if they’re the most important objects in the world when they’re all obsolete and superfluous. Nico is a bit of comic relief amongst all that. I don’t agree with a lot of his opinions but find him amusing, albeit in smaller doses.

As for the watch, not sure I see it as hypocritical. His comments on customisation don’t seem to be targeted at those who by one of those minority of watches which may hold its value or even appreciate, then bejazzle it in diamonds and claim it is worth the current market value of said watch plus the cost of the added stones, which is obviously not the case. A quartz prx is going to be worth little after a few years so customising it isn’t going to diminish value any more.

I wouldn’t personally buy it but I don’t really like the PRX. I like Tissot but I don’t like integrated metal sports watches of any type really and the PRX was overhyped, again partly due to watch people across social media getting interactions, liking it was good for the algorithms. This makes it slightly less meh but I’d still not want one, that sort of brash design thing isn’t my cup of tea.

·

Way too expensive. He painted the thumbs on the wrong side of the hands. Price goes through the floor. I mean coolness goes through the floor. Wait. It’s both.

·

Agreed . I admire him for his knowledge and drive but he seems to be embracing the hype lifestyle route instead of sticking to watches. If he's not careful.....

·

Nico is a salesman, a business person. He was offered a deal and he took it. I like his videos, and the videos of several YTubers but several of them are sellers, we should not forget that and have unrealistic expectations about them. Do I like that watch? No, it's crass and edgy, besides everytime you check the time you are flipping yourself! (probably that's the meta joke, you paid 1000 USD to flip yourself). 😁

·

You are taking these things, brands, people far too serious.

People are upset that a lot of recent Theo and Harris videos are sponsored by a brand called fake fragrance. They basically offer similar scents to well know designer/ luxury perfumes on the cheap 🤷‍♀

Thanks! I’m going to watch a couple recent videos and see what they’re up to. I enjoyed Theo and Harris for that bit where Michael had joined but Christian had not yet become self aware

Did you laugh as you typed that? You may have your answer.

I was fine with it until I read the text in red.

·

I have just one question - why would someone want a "middle finger" on his watch? The watch main purpose is to show a time to person who is wearing it, so, this watch will remaind it's owner also to fu** himself (genius).

What tat!!🤮
