I have seen the same watch with a black strap for £345 on ebay.
Gen doesn't normally do watch shows. So she will know f all about watches, mind you, no different to Mike, who should have been doing the show.
The Grand Mont?I have seen the same watch with a black strap for £345 on ebay.
Just a volcanThe Grand Mont?
I would fit in great on these watch shows, because I know f all about watches myself.
how do they get away with the claim Hammy, it seems a significant selling point to say Swiss made. Does someone in Switzerland open the back to put a battery in it?!The Marine is another Far East assemble watch, that's 3 out of 3 so far and yet they're still claiming they're Swiss Made. They haven't had one Swiss Made watch on the show so far.

Duchamp designed Volcan watch RRP £1850 selling at £489.99
My Roamer, the original which Duchamp is a copy of, RRP £450 bought it for £219
Prices tell you all you need to know about the ethics of The Christophe Duchamp brand. Especially as the Duchamp watch is assembled in the Far East, the Roamer is Swiss Made.

An interesting question, always thought to be "Swiss Made" there were stipulations manufacturers had to adhere to.
Let me get this straight, they are trying to sell a lookalike/copy for more money than an original or is there more to it than I am picking up on?
There is stipulations, but remember it's not the manufacturer or even Duchamp that is making any false claims here, the watch dials are properly labelled, it's Bordell and Gen that are making the false claims.
On the second point, you're correct, trying to sell a copy for more money than the original.

Normally they are, but I guess Mike not doing his shift, made them have to change things, as Gen was never going to do 7pm to 2am, maybe this is what happens when you haven’t got another presenter around, I guess Mike not being available only happened last minute, as surely it can’t be hard finding a presenter to cover in London. C&C had a similar issue last Sunday, Dean couldn’t make it and Den had to be called in.It seems to be prerecorded. I thought they were live till 2am

I think they run the price comparisons on repeat. Always, hysterically inaccurate, with no trace of any other retailer and ‘not’ comparing Pomagne with Champagne.It seems to be prerecorded. I thought they were live till 2am
