I was thinking last night, I wonder what Steve Whatley would think of how the channel comes over these days.

Also notice Zhuzh no longer carry’s the Steve Whattley name, if It hadn’t been for Steve the product wouldn’t exist

l can still picture Steve sitting there with his little shorts on showing his suntanned legs, he was such an enthusiastic man and a great loss to us all.

Watch week? Seems like every week

Yep that's why I rarely watch IW nowadays...I know they have their regular fashion slot on a Friday...but other than that whenever I tune in it's watches or dormeo..As for the other infomercial channels I've found that when channel hopping early in the morning 9 out of 10 are flogging matresses.. I like watching the channels for the miscellaneous tat that's on offer and all the b/s that comes with it. Ok you can argue that the watches are just that - tat....but just so samey and so boring!...and as for Sundays, all the channels are selling plants and diy stuff, surely the way things are in the world at the moment they can mix things up a bit!

I've corrected the following part of your post.

No need to thank me, you've obviously just hit the occasional wrong key when typing up your post ;)

Until june 15th only retail shop you can get a watch from is argos, so it’s allowing people to buy the watches. Even though the quality are probably less than what you would get at argos

The quality is probably similar, a lot of the fashion brands in Argos probably come from the same factories in Hong Kong/China, a few on IW are actually better. Ok, this might sound like i'm contradicting a lot of my posts, but it's not the watches, per se that is the problem with Ideal watch shows, it's the lies and misinformation regarding the watches, ie their quality and value, by both the Presenters and the so called experts that's the problem. Take Swan & Edgar, a lot of their watches you'll find similar on Aliexpress, nothing wrong with Aliexpress watches, I've a few (not Swan & Edgar ones, more Parnis, Sea-Gull, Corguet etc), but they are not highend, future heirlooms that need insuring as IW & James Fields are claiming Swan & Edgar are, ok watches true value under £100 or just above. On the other side of it, nothing wrong with the quality of Aviator, Sturmanskie, Mathey-Tissot, Vostok Europe, all decent watch brands, but it's the over the top hype and misinformation that grates me. The nonsense regarding the ETA movement (you won't get it again unless you're paying £6000) the other day just typifies this.

All the high street jewelers online sites are working, they've been selling watches throughout the lockdown, and all the big online watch sellers, like Jura, Jomas, Chrono24, Amazon, Ebay haven't missed a beat either etc, so if anybody that has Internet access has loads of options for buying watches, I would imgane most of the folks able to buy from shopping Tv would be equally able to buy online..

I think this would be the perfect opportunity to give Mike Mason the heads up. I mean, the poor chap keeps missing out when it comes to buying these fantastic heritage timepieces. My heart goes out to him, it really does, because it must be truly heartbreaking to learn that the watch you so covet has been sold out. Remember this desperate bad luck hasn't just befallen him once, but on multiple occasions.

Let's see if he is lucky enough to have the opportunity to own one of his dream watches this time. Go on, Mike, we're all rooting for you!

While I'm about it. In readiness for this extravaganza, I'd like to arm Peter with the following 'exquisite' synonyms:

Beautiful, elegant, graceful, superb, superlative.

Let's be honest about it, I doubt almost anything sold on selly telly will ever reach heirloom status, bar perhaps some of the jewelry that is of genuine quality and some of the higher end collectibles. I completely agree with you, in reality many of the products they sell are perfectly good for the price you pay. It's the utter tripe they spill with their sales pitches that spoils it, coupled with the faux over-reaction to products that are anything but unique or ground-breaking.
