Didn’t IW sell Aviator watches at much higher prices than this in the past?

Short story as it can get confusing as mentioning Volmax also involves Poljot, Aviator, Buran & Sturmanskie.

But basically different Aviator watches from different companies/brands, the Aviator watches on the old Ideal World are from Aviator SA, Switzerland, subsidiary of Volmax Company (Russia) to make Swiss Made Aviator watches.
Volmax also licensed the Aviator name to Scorpio Distributors ltd, who produce a range of affordable Aviator watches (Far East made) for originally duty free shops etc, but seem to be everywhere these days.

Thanks for that, I had a recollection of Kevski selling some on the old IW as high end, luxury etc

My dog leaves them room every time it comes on and will not come back in for at least 10 mins

Will do an experiment the next time it comes on and turn the sound down to see if it’s the face or the voice that gets a reaction.

Who is this woman? She’s only been on screen for ten seconds and already she’s annoying me. I’m going to the pub..

I've turned it off. I don't want to see him yet again looking like a skit that should be played after 9pm. I mean, if he had hair, it'd curl, he gets that carried away with the thing

Are they allowed to sell torture devices on TV?

Should this alleged foot massager not come with a health warning?

There should be a warning for the show with lady, turn down volume to avoid ear drum busting screams & shrieks.

Mike just had both legs in the air, moaning, looked down and said "is it a boy" implying he's just given birth. I switched off pretty quickly after that. And yes, she was pretty annoying!

All they need is some honest selling, some decent, good value branded products, some skilled presenters in transparency, a busy Gallery, and they'd be QVC.

Who’s the Poundland Kelley

It really is so cheap, juvenile and nasty. In all respects.

So sack everybody and start again from scratch.

Just thinking apart from Alex, who could you retain to achieve those goals? Nobody comes to mind apart from him.

There's Rob

, but even outwith his knee problems he was used very sparingly, so maybe not interested in being a more regular/main presenter.

Duke of Cheese · Dec 4, 2024

Agree on Rob. Assumed he’d left…

Thought had more knee ops, first ones didn't work as planned.

On the rare times I have seen Rob Lamarr on there, his candour, general humility, humour and his sincere manner always had me checking the channel number to make sure I’d not got the wrong station by mistake. Had very little time also for the comedy price comparisons. Saw him refuse to read out several on there at times.

I imagined it was his Knees, but not sure.

I think he spends a lot of time in USA also

Duke of Cheese · Dec 4, 2024

He just went to prove an honest approach can be employed there. Morgan et al…take note. He just came over as a thoroughly decent guy. As did Heather…er…girl…
