APOCALYPTICA - watch for the apocalypse?

[earlofsodbury]

I just received details on this DIY kit (including movement, dial etc and THAT case) in my inbox. A lot of inspiration from Omega's Seamaster in the dial and hands, but I've never seen a crown arrangement quite like it! Nor a 27.5mm lug width and there's no strap included. I'd understand this more if it were the 1st April and not 1st May.

Fortunately, they only seem to be making 5...

At the product-development meeting:

"I know! Let's do a Scarface-worth of gak and design a watch!"

Chorus: "YAAAY! Good Idea!"

{Sound of £50s being rolled, chopping-out, and loud sniff-snuffling noises}

"It needs to look like a plan view of a sit-down toilet!"

Chorus: "YAAAY! Good Idea!"

"...and cost well over a grand!"

Chorus: "YAAAY! Good Idea!"

"...and it'll need a strap that no-one sells, but we won't supply one!"

Chorus: "YAAAY! Good Idea!"

"...but we'll just rip off the rest of the design from an overworked, instantly-recognisable watchmaking icon that'll look hopelessly out-of-place!"

{Forehead veins audibly bulging, human Henry-the-Hoovers are going at-it like a blue whale eating krill}

Chorus: "F*** YEAH!"

- lights fade / history made -

... to look like a plan view of a sit-down toilet!"...

Genius.

Is it supposed to look like the hatch of a missile silo?

Thanks, but best avoid any Rolexy threads I post in if you don't wish to horribly disillusioned...

Or the EMP that renders it useless at the very start of hostilities? I mean we are assuming the apocalypse to be a nuclear war, but if it's just a pandemic, asteroid or even zombies then the G-Shock will be fine.
