Oh yes. Funnily, I took some pictures of mine to be soon posted. I can only agree, there is nothing else like the Freak. [nt]

Dusty and dirty, and I don't even care.
Bar none, The Freak is the coolest watch I have ever owned. ...
Hello Michael!
It is good to see a horological grail put through good use! Better off than kept in a vault 👍🏼 Can you tell us more about the experience? Is it light? What does “normal” people say about it? Have you used it to swim or other exercise? Anyhow, wear it in t...
I have worn it about 5/7 days since I received it 2+ months ago.
My APs are not happy! I do not exercise with a watch on, and I have not got The Freak wet. But I have worn it everywhere else. I would say it is lighter than one would expect for a watch of this size, it has a "just right" feel for me.
Very nice picture.
Love the depth of the dial. The movement is the highlight. Thanks for sharing Vte
It wears great. The case bottom is several mm smaller than the stated 45mm case size.
It bullnoses in on the sides, probably 40mm on the wrist. Weight is just right, I love it.
No. The short version is I had an arrangement with a dealer....
And put down a deposit. For some reason the deal did not go down and I lost my deposit. Freak prices escalated afterwards, and I could not allocate funds to buy one.
Michael, even today in a world of "cool" watches that didn't exist when the Freak first arrived this holds its own.
The revision, new case material, colours etc definitely bring it up to date a little. Even so, the OG Freak is still pretty cool.
I fully concur. So many "cool" choices these days. None bests The Freak for my personal tastes.
I have been a designer my entire life. That is how God made me. And this watch is right in my sweet spot!
Thanks R444. I have never enjoyed any watch more.
This and a Royal Oak 15202, really it is all I need.
Indeed..
What's the wrist time on that one so far? Most days out of the week edging out the rest? How's the 8HF doing relative to this one being that they're both all black .. and with touches of red too.. Such a mesmerizing piece. Thanks for sharing. Best, Echi.
Echi my Friend, I am running 5 out of every 7 days.
The Chopard has not been able to crack the other 2. No fault of that watch, it is great, but The Freak... I am truly blessed to have it.
Trying to be honest, I doubt I would wear the gold so much.
Not because it is heavy, not because it is double the value. I don't know, maybe I would... but this black watch is just so easy to wear for me to put on. I will have a white gold Freak with blue dial one day, hopefully an older version!
