Random musings and general banter.

Oh the Crossroads extras theatrics. Oh, the lack of respect for their audience - time and time again.

 

[Francy19]

I think Mike might instantaneously combust with that price

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Nope, you'll be on the ignore list.

Don’t worry… It will make it… I said I was Hammy from Aberdeen..

 

[Hammy60]

Well they've managed to get the Almaz cheaper, a whopping £6.

 

[Francy19]

Ooh, the wrong price story again. LYING SHYSTERS

 

[Hammy60]

Don’t worry… It will make it… I said I was Hammy from Aberdeen..

Definitely be ignored.

 

[Hammy60]

Why don’t you make one of Vostok watches your main watch Mike?. Wonder what Mike’s main watch is? I would text Mike but don’t have the mobile number

Omega

 

[Duke of Cheese]

I’m assuming the vast majority of the texts they read out are invented.

Found this one for £304.67. Do people not look on the web to price check. My mum is 79 and she knows how to look for prices on the web.

Why isn't the second hand matching the seconds around the dial if you know what I mean

 

[ronzy75]

Hilarious, you'd think they'd never seen quick change straps

A lot of the cheaper quartz movements don't hit the markers. Sign of poor quality not poor, cheaper

But it's a £1000 watch lol

 

[ronzy75]

You'd think, as a collector of watches, masonic Mike would know what a jubilee bracelet was

 

[Hammy60]

But it's a £1000 watch lol

Yeah but it ain't a £1000 movement, it's probably around £20 wholesale (maybe less depending on what deal VE have with Epson in Hong Kong).

Also add the dial will be from China as well, so again will depend on quality control.

 

[ronzy75]

Aye aye, Mike's just queried the jubilee bracelet? Hasn't been reading this has he?

We do exactly the same. I hate adverts, especially ones that are repeated endlessly for ages and seemingly months or more.
The worst one recently, was I believe for the AA breakdown service featuring a bunch of bank robbers. What pile of poo and it was on constantly. Also ITV the trailers for up coming new series, same clips every ad break.
We very rarely watch live TV now.

It wasn't always so, little did we realise at the time, however we used to get ads like this

Became a catch phrase

 

[ronzy75]

The jaguar advert is a bit of a failure though

 

[Duke of Cheese]

I’m certainly not against Vostok Europe watches. I bought this about ten years ago on Ideal World, and it still works fine.
