what is it with skulls, man ?

to be diplomatic, if you had already bought it, i would say, "it's rad !"

maybe re-post this in L&R & get some of the women's opinions.

my runner up was a plain ouroboros but that one picture always creeped me out and NES was totally my favorite book growing up.

What's your ethnic background? Tying it in that way would be cool.

Brittany's a Celtic nation... Lots of good material there. Are you from that part?

Unless I'm mistaken, loki won't be procreating any time soon.

Emo tool? Emo's would never touch anything Ecko, while that's an Ecko watch I particularly like. Marc does have some that are awesome. I had a Iced General from him a few years back and got tons of compliments on it everywhere I went. Ecko watches are great quality, I own 3 and they never seem to break.


linky to Iced General probably too flashy for most here, but it looks incredible in person.

another clean ass one I like it because you can go from blingy to elegant to business like with all the interchangeable faces.

I figured I'd ask the watch gurus of AT... I kinda dig it :eek:

as the weather warms up and I start breaking out the short sleeved shirts (moreso than ever now that I won't be working in a temperature controlled data center come this spring/summer) my wrist keeps looking bare. I've been on the fence about watch vs bracelet and this seemed to fit the bill for a casual watch just to wear to the office while wearing jeans and a t-shirt, but I'm sure AT's going to tell me it sucks and give me better suggestions :p

What
The
Fuck

Just start wearing charm bracelets and hoop earrings, you'll look less like a freak.

no, I don't wear it every day either. But when I get dressed up it's a exceptionally stunning looking watch for the price. I forgot this is ATOT where most only concern themselves with finding the cheapest jeans they can and any tee-shirt that fits them. When it comes to fashion watches like this are pretty common. People with money of course wear something from Jacob & CO. Since I don't have $20,000+ to drop a watch I bought the generic, but still nice looking version.

There are people who haven't liked the watch when they saw it, but I get far more compliments than I do "omg that's fugly!" guess you can't please everyone :)

to OP - ATOT is the last place I'd come to asking for fashion advice, and if you do ask. I would take what the majority say and do the exact opposite. So based off the feedback this watch would probably go over very well with real life people since the ATOTers don't like it. Also OP, Marc Ecko is world famous designer and worth hundreds of millions of bucks. This watch you linked to isn't for everyone, but ugly? that's a bit far fetched.

Queer Eye For The Straight Guy called; they want you on the team.

ps
The watch is a POS...how the hell do you TELL THE TIME on that POS?

Damn, are you just plain stupid? You fuckin flip the cover up to read the time.

It's extremely light that you barely notice it.

Now that's a classic watch. It goes just as well with a tux, as it does khakis, and it'll never be out of style.

I have a similar style watch from Citizen. I'm a traditionalist and a minimalist when it comes to watches. Simple, yet classy.

First, those are some horribly ugly watches.

2nd..."Iced General?" is that some kind of kinky sex term I haven't heard yet?
