Quick. Please answer this question:
What’s the UGLIEST IWC you’ve ever seen?
What comes to mind?
*
I’d bet I could guess what a fair portion of forumers who know their IWCs here might say.
And there in lies the clue.
And a few more… leading to my reveal.

Starting off the morning feeling rather naked and exposed

The most non-original name for a park ever,
yes folks this green park is actually named… GREEN park.
Picking this up near the Ritz Hotel. Some of the priciest real estate around these parts, yes what am I doing buying yet another watch?

The disease does not relent even for a brief moment - it takes control of the hands possessing it to whip out the plastic (gulp)... and the deal is quickly done.
So it's back through the subway station.

Cutting through GREEN park, you know the one - it’s the park that’s GREEN.

Hey, anyone think I should go just a tad more fluorescent on the strap?

Feeling rather pleased there’s been another (road) 'kill’ on the hunt list.
So how about going to my favourite Japanese dessert store.
Lots of GREEN stuff in here.

(and no, I would not pay that much for a bite-sized desert. Puh-lease... I like saving my money very wisely (can’t you tell?) – and besides I know the sales assistant ;)
Ah yes so where were we?

Yes. I’m sure some of you think I need my eyes checked.
In fact, we should probably test them!
Okay this is what I see…
[

Haha... that’s my ‘ugly’ reveal my friends.
I mean seriously – the Big Pilot is big, bold, has heritage, has craft, has a fantastic 7-day in-house movement, etc. simply a wonderful timepiece.
But KERMIT?

What can I say folks?
Guilty as charged...
To each their own! =P
Queue disparaging comments… and don't hold back. Like or Loathe?
Bring out the trolls (or wait a second - trolls are green and would like this, no?)
Regards and happy hunting to all,
