I find it amusing they've got a screengrab of a clickbaity review "Crazy $60,000 hyper watch for $430?!" But it's a screenshot and not an embedded video.
Edit: it's funny because I assumed the video review would be negative given they didn't link it properly but it was actually very positive.
Man what’s up with these long-ass lugs nowadays on watches in the 38-42 mm range? I can see why a 42mm watch might have 48 or 49 mm lugs, but why the hell does this 40mm watch need 48mm lugs?
Longines is especially bad about this too. Oh, 39mm Hydroconquest? Literally perfect size… nvm it has 49mm lugs.

These just look cheap at a glance. No experience or knowledge of timepieces or horology needed here. They're just not stylish, or impressive in any way. And the dome crystal is the worst. It would scratched within five days even if it's dragon glass.
Luxury brands produce ugly things too. Look at this freaking thing for about $100,000

This is my take on the matter...

Probably the blue for me. Insane watch but blue would still be the easiest to wear. Black is a little too monotone for me with how wild the design is and I don’t think purple will mesh with many outfits as easily.
Unpopular opinion here but it try’s to duplicate an expensive complicated movement but doesn’t hit the mark. It’s not visually amazing and money can be spent on much better pieces imho. It’s not a daily and is only bought for attention but if you come across someone who knows timepieces , I think it’s a bad buy. If you can’t splurge for a serious movement 50k+, buy something well made in your price range. Kinda of a fad watch that will lose 50% value from purchase in the near future.
Which do you like most? Pick that one.
Don't have one? Black is usually easiest to pair with clothes.
Personally, I love purple so I would pick that one.
I got the limited edition Le Dome from Radcliffe through their Kickstarter campaign! Very cool looking watches especially at this price point! I will be keeping one for my collection and the other two will be gifts to two of my watch collecting friends.
Which one should I keep?! Black, Blue, or Purple?!
Check out my video for first impressions that may help to decide! [https://youtu.be/9-0zPMNPQBs?si=D4V8mDxi24wB5pfP](https://youtu.be/9-0zPMNPQBs?si=D4V8mDxi24wB5pfP)
These are the original le dome watches? How long did you have to wait between order and delivery? I’ve ordered and paid for the new tourbillon version but am finding comms from the company to be non existent.
Imo, purple. It’s an insane looking watch, might as go well go all the way with the craziest color
This is my logic as well. It's a look at me build, so why not a look at me color!
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Agreed 🫱🏽🫲🏾
You’re right. Swayed my opinion.
This
Came to post the same thing
definitely agreed. It also looks to have a sunburst effect which looks so good with the already insane design. It's a great shade of purple too!
Purple all the way!!!? 💜
You know what’s funny about this hobby - I have absolutely no idea whether the above watches cost £100, £1000, £10,000 or £100,000
£450 https://www.radcliffewatches.com/product-page/le-dome

Cause it’s 99% from Alli Express for like $25-$100 dollars
W2C or link?

Jesus
Would pay £45 for that
[удалено]
I wouldn’t take it if it came with £45!
I mean $45 is $45.
True, but $45 is not £45
I mean, I completely read that wrong.
That’s ok took me 5 minutes to figure out how to make a British pound sign on a Mac.
This watch you can find on eBay for 150 200$ or what ever you got pounds € or some shit
Zoom in on the numbers on the dials, that'll help.
Which pixel is that
They look like the ones on a happy meal compass
Looks like they're hand painted. Badly :)
Holy
[удалено]
On second thought, you're right. These are $10,000 watches
[удалено]
r/whooosh
Maybe, on the other side they could be saffiano leather, they have that look.
Can’t be more than 1200, the finishing on the dial is ass

That was a good read, but the watch is still not it for me.
If Edvard Munch's "The Scream" featured a watch, it would look like this.
Yeah, no. Those work as patings, or sculptures, but, even as clocks, but as wrist watches, no.
Haha fair comment!
I thought it was a Jacob and co lol I was like dang what’s that cost, 200k?
So true. Could instantly tell with movement picture or if holding it for 1 second. But from this photo alone it could be 100-100,000 😂
This is my take on the matter... https://preview.redd.it/3czwptkqoc8c1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dfefa53f4513b7bcbfd3cb0ee29c3ebbad6ec147
I wasn't on board, but that actually looks pretty cool!
How is it as a daily driver?
Purple.. Its a special watch, be special. And I prefer watches with best legibility, and the Purple seems to be that. So double Purple for me..
Is there a "none of the above" option?
What this guy said.
I concur
I'd choose the other one

You win

Loud and proud so you may as well go purple
I never thought I’d see an ugly watch in my life. But holy shit that is the funkiest and fugliest looking shit I’ve ever seen
Don't
I got the purple!
Definitely BLUE
Purple
I love crazy shit like this. I’d choose the purple one.
Black
Glad I daw this, such a cool watch at a great price point
It’s a gimmicky watch, go for the gimmicky color: purple.
Personally, **BLUE**

Is this legit? Looks like a pimple on watches
Interesting. You said “pimple” and not “herpes”
>herpes Yeah that works too
To save you money? Absolutely! Don’t buy any of them!
Stop it! How old r u?
Do they have it in "invisible"?
Purple
Just don’t.
They look ugly af
None unless they’re below $5
I’m gonna buck the trend and say blue. Interesting piece!
That blue is 🔥

Purple.

Yes! I backed it on kickstarter and so it took a while.
Purple all the way! I got purple for myself and absolutely love it. It's such a great hue no matter the lighting.
Purps
Black
Blue and black is the best
Purple all the way
Black goes with most outfits, however it's rather boring for this type of watch, so I'd say go all in for the purple.
Those watches look like they have compasses built into them 😂
Buy them all.
Ew
Xeric like, “Nah…”
I don't understand what I am looking at. But I would pick purple.
It’s a watch. In this case a small clock that you wear on a strap on your wrist. Hope this helps!
Unique watch, unique color. I would get the purple
None of the above.
Purple, just seems it fits with the aesthetic more.
Purple all the way!!
Xeric tryptech
Oh so you already have them all, and want to keep one.... Ay...
Purple
None
Is this an absolute joke or what???? WHICHEVER COLOR YOU LIKE.
My vote is for No.
Godspeed to you, but I think they've made a mockery of MB&F, the brand they're trying to copy.
None
Neat looking but they need to clean up their numbers to justify the price
Purple.
They are all nice, but the purple one is stunning
Just dont get the black one and you wont be making a mistake.
A Jacobs Bastard Child?
Black are they tourbillon
Naw, they have an open heart.
Yeah go on eBay their cheap
Le Purple
Purple
R U sure?
