Our definition of beautiful is miles apart. That looks like someone took what was a nice watch then sent to West Coast Customs to make it look a lot worse.lol

This "beautiful" watch looks like it's from the same school of design as Pep-boys car accessories.

No No No No. If you want an investment watch its Rolex, Tag or similar. You would be lucky to sell this thing for $1500 after you bought it.

I would not because:
A. The reason that's a limited edition is there are only so many dim-wits that actually have enough money to buy one
B. I've already passed on C7 watches at 1/100th that price because they were overpriced.
C. I can buy a Rolex and have a custom C7 dial put on it for way less than that.
D. If I spend that much for a watch, I expect it to look like a bling watch, not like I went to Walmart and bought a toy watch.
Pick one or all of the above.

For less then a grand you could by an Apple watch, pick a pic of the C7R and for a couple of Bucks a yellow band and when you get tire or go to your Porsche event just change the pic.

BRM has alway made outrages looking watches, this one is a big failure.

OK serious!! You really think this is Beautiful??

Money can't always buy taste.

Sometimes people buy these just so they can tell people how expensive it is.

Watch prices have risen steadily over the last ten years. With the advent of fit bits, apple watches, and the like the watch industry is facing competition. Hopefully, this means the prices will soften a bit.

As far as this watch goes, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Watches are personal.
