I think it's pretty cool looking persoanlly. Thing that would worry me...Limited to 20 pieces, what kind of $$$$$ are we talking about here?

I have no idea either other then the fact that maybe it is trendy and fashionable to some.

I do like the hands on this one BUT can anyone tell me how exactly you tell the time on this watch? I see 4 sword hands, but no indication of what is what?

As most of you know, I love skulls, have skull tattoos and my skull ring, but never would I buy this watch, even if I had the cash....first off...no idea how you tell the time...and second, it looks like a flip top walkie talkie watch I had when I was 10.....it reminds me of a toy...........

Hand on the skull is the minute, Central hand is minutes, and the 2 subdials one must be seconds and one 1/10 of a second????

Dont really dig the skull thing but I think the company has some historical meaning behind the design. An airborne division?
