I like it, but wouldn't buy one

·

Best 50 Fathom colab ever!!!!

·

I saw it at Windup this weekend. Interesting. But I doubt a long term wear

·

Meh, but it's fun. I won't rain on people's parade if they dig it. I like lots of stuff people like to shit on.

Never cared about Spinnaker in my life, but holy crap that looks amazing, I love it!

·

It May is'nt the Most Classic/timeless watch (looking Forward a few decades) with These Ghosts...but If you Like it i guess the watch could Develop a really Special Charakter for you. In a way that you say IT is my unconvential watch and i can Express my own taste with it:) And IT is a hell of an conversation Starter. Last but Not least you can Look at IT as an then (in the Future) older man an be reminded at your more "unconvential" youth/time as Younger man WHO liked the Gag with the ghosts

·

GENIUS!

·

Fun watch. I like the lumed side stitch on the strap.

·

Whether it's Snoopy, Mickey, Kermit, or 50 little ghosts, I am not a fan of novelty/cute/cartoon watches. Hard pass.

·

I thinks it’s fun, they’re relatively cheap so I would. Wouldn’t pay much more though. To be honest I would be more interest in this version of the Fleuss without the ghosts.

·

Freaking genius... irreverent, frivolous with a great word play. How can you not give it a nod for what it is even if you won't personally get one?

·

The watch is pretty, but the thing that comes to mind: October/Halloween. So what do they expect one to do, put the watch up in a shoebox somewhere and only wear it one month out of a year? I can’t help but pass on this one — limited exclusive numbered edition whatever and all. Pass please. It is pretty, though. Well maybe if my house was haunted, I’d wear it all year ‘round.

[edit] They should’ve used jellyfish or Octopi

·

I’ll be buying one lol

·

Where can i buy it?

·

50 phantoms....

·

So cool! LOL! 😆

“No feet” on the dial! 😂

·

I thought someone took a real 50 fathoms and defaced it 🎃😱👻. It’s a fun way to get people into watches I think

·

This is fun. This and the Seiko Alba x Mario automatics are some of the few collabs that I would think of wearing on a fun/now serious watch

·

I think its kinda cool but I wouldn't buy a Spinnaker.

·

I count less than 50 on the dial...

·

I like the pun but I refrain from buying any more Spinnaker watches.

·

Might've been my favorite at the show!

·

It's a watch that was designed to make fun of people who take watch collection too seriously.

·

Still nothing to do with ghosts

I'm intrigued as to why!

Well it’s like this. The last Spinnaker I bought came with a spring bar remover and instructions on how to use it when in fact the watch had screws holding the band on. It also had one screwdriver which did not fit the screws. The watch came with a bracelet and a rubber strap which was terrible for rubber straps. You can’t replace it with any other due to it being Proprietary to the watch. The second watch I purchased had a bezel insert which did not look anything like the photos but when I asked to purchase a different insert from the same line of watches, they told me they don’t sell parts. I could go on but the fact of the matter is they are terrible about customer service and don’t care about you, just your money. Run away as fast as you can.

While hyping it and charging them 3 times the price than a normal one.

For some it's a price they are willing to pay, and we are lucky that we have the choice to decide how to spend our money.

Oh yeah, I feel so very lucky to have the opportunity to be ripped off every day. Fortunately, I'm still in control of my mental faculties, and they can't force me to buy it either.

It just means that you are not in their customer's target group. Don't fret it as there are plenty of other brands around and I'm sure that some of them will fleece you just as well if not better.
