Should it be a "?" in the title instead? 😉

Please dont kill me or start threatening to send me bags of dog shit in the mail. I know that Alec is the worst brand ambassador in history...

But! This is actually kind of cool 😬😀

It's not great from a readability stand-point. I won't say it's bad, but it's definitely not my cup of tea!

In some weird way I get the same happy feeling from this like those good old Mickey Mouse watches. Should have been that the watch hands were Mr Monopoly's arms 😜

Funny, it made me think of the Mickey Mouse watch too. Actually, I think this is okay. It's a 'fun' watch and they've done it on a basic Formula One model, which is exactly where it should be done. If they'd done this on a Carrera it would be abominable, but if you're going to do fun pieces then do them on a quartz. I wouldn't buy it myself, but I don't mind this at all.

To be fair. This is the most effort AM has ever done to a watch.

Pass from me too. It does make me realize how cool this formula 1 watch though (without the painting).

Another excellent blog post by our friend Robert aka @Aquagraph

http://tagheuerenthusiast.blogspot.se/2017/10/feature-formula-one-alec-monopoly.html?m=1

I think he has a very good paint in saying:

"this watch makes me like TAG even more, because I love that they have the balls to make it. Too many watch brands have zero personality and are so conservative"

I don't understand. Tag Heuer are to be respected for putting out something terrible because they have the balls to make it? 😉

Why didn't the balls spread over the strap?
I thought the artist's signature was random splattered paint on timepieces.

Well, at least he now wrecked a Formula One and not a Monaco with Play Doh Paint, I can respect that.
That Monaco he worked on just hurt me very much.
Still, he keeps me focussed, is it art?
Shit?
Both?
Would I like to own one, heck even pay for it too?

Good reflections my friend, answers to most questions would probably be no 😁

Anyhow lets hope that he dies from an overdose soon after I buy this one. In 30 years it might be worth a fortune then 😎
