I was being facetious.

To cram more 'shows' in and widen the selling spectrum? Because - as we are constantly 'warned' - every product is always on the verge of selling out and they can't make the stock last for sixty minutes? (Check out those baskets, folks!) Because the presenters are struggling to find new...

There was some genuine drama in this evening's TE 'collectable' watch show. Mike M was shocked when he realised the price IW was asking for these fantastic timepieces. He was so shaken that he had to get confirmation that the price wasn't a mistake! Thankfully, IW hadn't made a mistake - even...

Mike M was seriously embarrassing to watch on the Renault show. I've seen him pulling similar stunts while flogging e-bikes.

I saw some of the Renault waterless wax presentation on Sunday afternoon. At about half an hour in Mike M was warning viewers that they were about to sell out and the watch show would have to be brought forward to cover. I didn't see the end but I wonder if anyone else did? Did they run out as...

IW presenters must be the easiest people on the planet to buy gifts for. Everything they see is 'amazing'. Imagine dear old Peter's ecstasy if 'Betty' ever bought him a Lolex from the outdoor market. After insuring it, he'd never stop bragging to everyone he met about his fantastic timepiece.

Gevril! that's it! I was suspicious of the spiel, hence my asking. When they kept talking about 'watchmakers since 1758' I thought it was double speak for two minutes to six!

Back to the forum since the new year after feeling virtually locked out by the anti-ad blocking software??!! Anyway, did any of you watch people see last nights show featuring another luxury brand? (It made such an impression on me that I can't remember the name of these watches!). If so, can...

Is the site experiencing technical issues?! I can't see half of the posts?! For example, the last two only contain a 'folder' icon which, when hovered over says 'Default'. I'm expecting this not to show up once it's posted either.

I am well aware that I am uncouth, but have just realised I have absolutely no sense of style whatsoever. How have I come to this sudden conclusion? Well, it's that I just can't related the words 'stunning' etc to many of the timepieces. Poor old Pete, he was going to buy one - he got pipped at...

Just for contexts sake, I've heard people use the phrase 'I'd end up in the workhouse' before. Seeing as Peter is the same age as me & (perhaps crucially) from the same city - it could be a localised phrase - it may have been something he'd heard too? I haven't heard it for a long time, but it...

I'm currently reading 'Saturday Night Peter'. I was surprised to see that Peter Kay gives a mention to Peter Simon. Basically Kay saw Simon (of 'Going Live' fame) when the latter was the warm up man for a quiz show hosted by Richard Madeley. Kay describes Simon as 'outrageously funny'.

I heard him mention 'her' the other night on one of the watch shows. A question, has the brand of what I guess will be 'luxury' 'heritage' timepieces due to be sold from 10pm tonight (time of writing) been featured on IW before? I can't say as I'm familiar with the name. In fact, I'm so...

If Les or Tommy sent him cards, they've been a bloody long time in the post! I've heard Peter liken himself & his watch mate to 'Ant & Dec' & 'Morecambe & Wise' so I guess his imagination knows no bounds. I must say I find his 'presidential addresses' into the camera at the start of his shows...

Have you all stopped to think that perhaps those who wrote Peter's Christmas cards really meant it when they said 'he was the funniest man on TV'? Could they have meant that they laugh 'at' him, not 'with' him?:biggrin:

You mean you wouldn't love to have that 'beautiful' Helmet watch case as the centrepiece of your collection??!!

The bloke on the Mulberry Silk show - he's like one of those people you get cornered by at a party! Monotone rambling at its worst. Haley is looking uncomfortable as she is largely unable to cut him off while he's in mid flow.

I'm just loving that 'luxury' watch case in the form of a motorcycle helmet!!!

I know where you're coming from. I bought a Beldray 'stick' vacuum cleaner a few years ago (nothing to do with IW - I got it from B&M). I'd heard of the brand name. It worked well but proved to be so flimsily built that it almost broke in half after a few months of light use. BTW I didn't know...

Just watched a slice of the latest watch 'extravaganza'. Sean saying that he wanted to buy the watch he was demonstrating but was 'told' via his earpiece that he was going to be out of luck, as they were on course to sell out! Couldn't he reserve one before the show?!
