That’s what Alexa / smartphones / smart doorbell / smart fridge / smart buttplug / &c &c ad naus. are for.
The clock is so Best Korea can keep an eye on him 
I heard if it was radio controlled it could pick up transmissions and broadcast subliminal messages.
Bet it keeps good time, though. I like it.
Pretentious wank

I’d never own it, but it’s a rather clever and interesting bit of watchmaking, rather than tedious, unimaginative, mass-produced cut’n’paste man-jewellery for me-too bragging in golf club bars.
Long may it continue.

Not fit for purpose
Wank
GPHG loves a spot of not-fit-for purpose. Usually with vastly bigger pricetags.
Let’s face it, mechanical watches are all an absurd anachronism next to wrist-computers/“smartwatches”.
Nor’s your average Rolex (for telling time accurately). They’re piss poor compared to your average digital watch.

I get that it is clever but I want to be able to glance at my wrist and tell the time.
If I want to admire artwork I will go to a gallary or museum.
Same goes for jewellry pieces which are impossible to read.
What do you do where you haver to be somewhere better than +/- 2secs a day?
Who needs a digital watch, haven’t you got a phone?
The point is that is it’s perfectly possible to get objectively better for telling time.
Of course if the purpose is for wanking over Rolexes then maybe not so much. Feel free to knock one out while admiring your collection

The point if a watch is to tell the time, if you can’t do that there is no point, in my opinion.
Everything else including ypour post is just trolling

As far as I can tell, the main point of owning a Rolex is to be able to tell people you own a Rolex 
Frankly, it’s lost on me, as I think there are far more interesting watches about. But that’s just me
Edit: I confess to having the occasional hankering for a Sea Dweller, the rest can fuck off.

You and Sodders are the only people talking about Rolex
Are you both pissed or do you have some sort of sehnsucht?
I recently commissioned this Seiko 6105 Willard replica from a very knowledgeable and friendly chap at Watch Tomb.
He specialises in Seiko recreations and modifications.
This watch features original Seiko parts including a vintage 6105 dial, hardlex crystal and bezel. It does have a more modern Seiko NH36 automatic movement.
It’s a close as I will get to the real thing without spending upwards of £2k for one in this condition.
I don’t feel remotely guilty since this was put together by a Seiko enthusiast using genuine parts.
It cost me £320 and I love it to bits.
Haters hit me with your best shot!

Like that a lot.

No hate here; it’s basically a horological restomod and I think it’s a good looking thing
