Listen, what you spend your money on in your own spare time is your own business, but I wouldn’t strap this watch to roadkill. It’s got an automatic ETA 2824 movement but all that steel is going to look mighty ugly once dirt gets in the crannies. Then there’s the price: $1024 for this is pretty steep.

I love odd brands and I love Watchismo, but let’s let steampunk die a fast and unmourned death. What do you guys think?
