Random musings and general banter.

Surely it would have to be Peter the Plonker, galesgal?! His reverential Nana Royle-style sales spiel tonight just oozes sincerity. No?

Of course. I would trust him with my life, and my savings. He is the most sincere, honest and compassionate person I have ever come across..

Yeah, it's just a complete con. I found a thread on Reddit about them and one guy said he got a discount on them with his gym membership. lol

Also another guy summed the company up pretty well.

This is good to know. I wasn't sure exactly how they did it. It looks good on TV to have those prices on the website so they can point to it. I would imagine nobody pays the full price. I would imagine that if you stumbled across the site, when you get to a certain point they'll offer you 85% off. I wonder what trading standards have to say about that. Despite their so called Swiss heritage they are a UK registered company

So am I right in saying you can get one of the £1750 RRP ones on the manufacturer’s website using a code for under £300? Strangely, I have yet to hear Ideal World mention that code. The sort of thing Watchdog (when it was a proper show) would possibly have looked at. A real collusion type con, you might say. What a stack of steaming crud.

I didn't believe it when hubby mentioned it. We had been watching Pedro spouting the usual guff about heirloom pieces, house insurance etc. My husband did a quick search online, found the code, entered it on the Duchump website at checkout, and the price was below £309. What about the poor sods who pay the full price of £1750 without the code? (If there are any, which I highly doubt).

 

[galesgal57]

£267.45 is the price you will pay from Duchump.

Surely the relevant trading standards should act if notified?

I wouldn't even pay anything like that for flaky gold plate which is likely to look horrible after a few years. At the very least it will tarnish and fade.

When A Man Called Mason was having a go at flogging the Duchamps the other day he claimed that gold plate was the new gold because solid gold was too expensive.

Well that's the whole point barrer boy - gold lasts and is the hallmark of quality. That's what you pay for but IW's ethos is that if it's shiny today, it'll fool people for now - don't worry about tomorrow.

The mock reverence with which Peter Simon treats Duchamp is laughable - it's like he's giving us plebeian IW viewers a taste of the good life but we all know it's a sham from the ludicrous RRPs to the shyster presentations.

Every day it's "the last few...the last few..."

Jeremy is as brown as the wallet he is selling.

I bet he's been down with da kids on the beaches of Ibiza and dancing to S-Club in the discos boasting that he knew one of 'em.

He's using the old "don't want to worry you but..." routine warning of identity theft.

Feeble.

No depths on this channel. They try to reach rock bottom each day, but just sink even deeper.

yes, it needs to be shown to them and any evidence (so a link to that reddit thread would be great) and if I get the chance I'll record a watch show or if someone tells me on here, I'll go back in the feed

You got hand it too them on the marketing score, they've got loads of folks fooled.

Their marketing guy, Arne Decaestecker (Brand Logic Ltd) has certainly done the rounds of Football clubs offering sponsorship so the clubs offer their watches to their fans. The sponsorship isn't like some big money, it's giving a free watch to the teams player of the month or Goal of the month.

Must have been a couple of friends/work collegues at Brand Logic (Arne Decaestecker & Oliver Marsh) decided to start up their own watch brand having been involved in promoting brands through their own job, using Oliver's sister? Eleanor Marsh as the Director to set it up and voila we have Christophe Duchump with a whole marketing bullshit story (Perpetual Luxury, Swiss Watch brand from Menrisio) at the ready.

They really aren't giving enough tech info for that extension plug, very confusing as to what it's really capable of, they should be demonstrating it properly, heck isn't that's why the "pro expert" is there.

 

[Hammy60]

I've feeling they're spouting absolute garbage.

Somebody asked what is the voltage, jessie answer 1000W.

 

[Jazzydrury]

Arrtcic Cooler again, are there taking the piss, I’m sat here with the light on it’s soo bloddy dark, Jezza said it was humid last night was it, I slept with the duvet over me like it was winter.

Jezza said it will get hot again, where is the evidence

 

[Hammy60]

This is a very poor, misleading sales pitch, i've a feeling those power points will only really work when the unit is plugged in. If it's not plugged in then it's effectively only a low voltage DC battery/powerbank with a light, yeah it will charge you phone etc, but that's it.
