Yeah you can tell this is who they're playing to. Linking back to our earlier posts on this (presenting styles) there's very little about it that's considered, professional, accurate and based on fact. It's all barrow boy shouty shouty and there's an audience for that approach which is fair enough, each to their own. E.g. prattling on about how heavy and big some of the watches are, they're targeting a ... let's say ... certain type of consumer.
And then of course there's the out and out gullible fool that takes it all in! Mind you, we shouldn't judge, any of us are potentially susceptible given the right mix of product, price and retailer skill.
Yeah, heavy and big seems to be the style they're into with these watch brands, like they've all been taking a leaf out of Invicta's book, 45mm seems to be a small size for them, even their dress watches are big, me I prefer 42mm or under, preferably under. Another thing about the big watches with bracelets is the weight, just too heavy, you have to change to a strap to reduce the weight. I find 43m divers with bracelets heavy god knows what some of these beasts are like.
I don't judge as such, well a few idiots I do
, but for most I feel sorry, especially if they think they've been building a luxury watch collection at bargain prices, when the opposite is true. If they're just building a collection of watches because they just like the look etc, then that's fine, no real harm done, but if it's for other reasons then that's not good.
There will be another collectors gem coming soon from Reynolds, The Vostok Watch he was asking folk to vote on different options, although the voting had already started, and they would build the watch with the winning specs, of course it's an Anchar and the vote for the colour etc is over, the German site I buy watches from, sent me an email last week as they are already taking pre-orders for it, so expect Reynolds very soon, proably be lowest price in the world, world exclusive and every other distributor is annoyed as IW pinched their stock.
