Random musings and general banter.

That Grand Mont is almost a copy of the Roamer Monza watch, same dial etc just using a slightly different case, but the Roamer with a better looking/finished case, made in switzerland is around £300 at various places.

 

[Hammy60]

it is interesting to see other outlets sell this at 1200 still, eBay has a couple under 400

Folks have fallen for the sales patter from the brand, they're a bunch of shysters. While their watches are decent enough the RRPS and supposed quality are in fantasy land and even IW's prices are more than they are actually value. Anyone buying one of their watches at prices dearer than IW is selling needs their head examined.

On the Christophe Duchamp website, their supposed factory in Mendrisio.

What the factory in Mendrisio actually looks like.

Mike said he was on a 3 year waiting list for his last watch, so we can all surmise it was a top quality item, yet he is slavvering over these Duchamp watches. I noticed he always keeps his watch hidden.

Vulcan coming up, another overpriced Far East made copy of the Swiss Made Roamer Rockshell III.

 

[galesgal57]

The Vulcan stealth black, I was expecting a battery operated "toy", if you know what I mean.

It was the Vostok Europe Rose Gold with Blue dial Almaz, and he wasn't on a waiting list, during Kevski's shows he kept saying he wanted it but it always sold out before he could get it. We kept checking when he made the sell out claim and low and behold on many occassions it was still available to buy from their web site after the show and the next day. After 3 years of his sales patter story he finally decided to buy one. He's full of ****.

 

[Hammy60]

Oh god, time to switch off.

According to Dr. Edwards’s recent Medical (Don’t Bother a Busy Clinician) Gadgets Show, ‘Chris’ wanted a change of scenery, and decided to move the guys to new premises in ‘Leafy Surrey’. Perhaps he will try to get Chrissie Boy on as a guest on one of his future ‘Take Your Own Blood Pressure (and rely on the accuracy) on a £40 Smart Watch, and Don’t Both a Busy Clinician’ Extravaganzas and do his?

I really need to stop watching the interplay between TJC and IW pricing for the same product on the same day. it’s bad for my blood pressure.

I see Peter is on at 10am, out of all the presenters he seems one who never seems to be off the screen.

He is virtually full time, as he does 5 days on and 2 off

Oh god, time to switch off.

Absolutely zero posts during Joanne's show. Says it all about what the majority think about her.

Shame it isn't 2 days on and 5 days off...

 

[Jazzydrury]

I watched bits of Joanne hours last night, but it was a bit like the highlights of the day, I think that is how she worded it.

Oh joy!

A day of complete BS ahead.

 

[Jazzydrury]

At 11am, he has a camping light on.

No doubt, we will get tales, of when he went camping with Our Bet and Our Josh, when they needed the light, to reach the toilet block, and take Josh for his wee.

Heart warming memories from Pete, no doubt he'll also mention Everard and Slack Alice. And Granny Clampett.

If and When Peter retires, which he threatens every year, we would miss him

Brilliant parody - or is it verbatim.

One day, when I'm really bored, I'm going to count how many times he repeats each cliché, ok, and find out what is his most popular, right.

No doubt we would.

He is the chief clown, unrivalled in his staggering ineptitude and randomness.

We wonder how he gets away with it year after year.

We must learn to aim better.. A custard pie in the face would suit..,
