to me it is a gorgeous car

i am very much into aesthetics and the watch has to attract me first in the looks department before I am even remotely interested in finding out about its mechanics and its philosophy and all the other frilly stuff. if it ain't good looking i don't want to know more about it, i mean why bother yuh as I aint gonna sleep with it, uhm i mean consider to buy it...

so for me the opus 8's failure is its looks fail. it reminds me a fossil or dkny or guess watch or something like that. the toyota u see in the pics below looks pretty damn good though and brings to mind that other classic bond car so please dont compare it to the opus 8

kidding...

of all the opus/mbf/ahci stuff, the ones i like the most are still vh antiqua, urwerk, and opus 5. just mho. cheers

Not that I like the look of the watch, but is it any worse than the stillborn Opus 3? - loujo (registered) on April 11th, 2008-10:34

So: Is this a positive vote? - MTF (registered) on April 11th, 2008-13:39

It is definitely positive - loujo (registered) on April 14th, 2008-13:34

The reason why I accepted O3 is is the mechanical sophistication - bernard cheong (registered) on April 11th, 2008-16:42

Which is why, if I may, you should at least give O8 a fighting chance. . . - Jack Forster (registered) on April 11th, 2008-18:25
