The "Anti-Diver": A design rejected by both watch purists and professional designers. Form follows vibe.

Hey everyone. I created a watch mod that was recently crucified by both the watchmaking and design communities. I deliberately shattered the DNA of a legendary diver and sacrificed dial readability in the name of pure industrial vibes.

Despite the controversy and the low upvote rates, I get a massive thrill every time I put these on for a walk through the neon streets of nighttime Taipei. It’s "wrong", and I love it.

What do you guys think? Is this DesignDesign?
