Yeah.  For instance...  I mostly only like really simple, bold, legible,
cleanly designed watch faces.  When they get a little more complicated
than that, I usually don't like them much.  But there's an example which
comes to mind of a watch face which is SO over-the-top busy that its
complexity just ends up (to my eye) turning into an intriguing and
intricate pattern.  To my surprise, I really kind of like it:
