Pedro and Kevin Reynolds. Pedro said they'd worked together nigh on 30 years selling the best watches in the world.

I'm no watch expect but I don't remember them selling Rolex...

Managed to find an early screen grab from 1992 of the very short-lived BBC SHOPPING WORLD. A very young Simon and Reynolds making their shopping television debuts….

Army & Navy in Victoria, Whiteley’s, Arding & Hobbs, Gamages, Marshall & Snelgrove, Barkers of Kensington …Proper department stores all gone now. My Dad was catering manager at Marshall & Snelgrove in Oxford Street. He used to let me wander round the toy department after closing time (I was 23 at the time) and choose a toy or two. He always said he paid for them, but I don’t think he did. Oxford Street in the late 1960s was full of great shops. Now it is full of not much at all. Nothing much for the looters to steal any longer in many UK city high streets. Nottingham where I live now is absolutely awful for city centre shops nowadays, too.

Used to go in the Army & Navy Store in Victoria Street very regularly as I worked just up the road. They used to have a lovely food hall at the back in Howick Place. Then they decided to knock down all the old shops in Victoria Street to open up view of Westminster Cathedral. The wrecking balls took forever as the walls were really thick. They replaced them with really ugly buildings that we nicknamed metal egg boxes.

Mind you we did get a birdseye view from our office when the Pope visited.

I wonder what ever happened to the guy, if indeed he was real, who used to buy multiple watches? If he is real, he's most likely on the streets after being declared bankrupt after shelling out thousands buying numerous watches off this shower, albeit the previous incarnation.

3 years selling the nuclear submarine watch, only 200 made, still plenty left, hmmm🤔
As to them selling watches together for 30 years? KR knows very little about watches, PS even less, and I don't know on which outlet they were selling together, but it wasn't ideal world 😁

They evidently just literally make timescales up. I mentioned the other day that Peter S said he'd been bringing fragrances to us for 'nigh on 40 years.' At this rate he'll soon up it to 50 years!

For the flexis?
Click to expand...

Kev's site has a quite a few ways to pay, not sure how all of them work but i know at least two of them have interest free pay in 3 options, and If we take the Almaz as an example, IW £489 Kev's site £ 399 but using his ebay price which is £405 cause it's easier for me to see the payment breakdowns there, even taking the Almaz over 6 months with paypal credit, total to pay £420 it would be a saving approx £70 on the IW price or over 24 months, toatl £458 would still save you £30.
So even having flexis doesn't make the IW deal any sweeter or a reason to buy from them. ;)

They have got to stop telling such blatant lies pretending old Willy Hunt is still in situ there and using this to add prestige to rather ordinary products.

He never made watches or perfumes anyhow. They just licenced his name to create a fantasy label. Pathetic.

to be fair you can still get tailored stuff on his website. There seems to be a section where you type in what shirt size you are and it brings that up. I wouldn't call that tailoring I can do that on ebay. There is a special VIP contact. Since he doesn't have the shop I wonder where he takes the VIPs? An industrial estate???
