Only on Ideal World would you have a bald guy selling Hair Gain.
Mike doesn't use it cause he's happy being bald.

I'm clearly not up with the latest trends. I like fish, and I like bacon but never fancied eating them togetherAnybody ever eat Fish covered In Bacon, according to Chef Mark, its in all the kids that are down with the streets eat
He's almost obsessed trotting out this line. A few nights ago selling watches he said something likeOh it's Mason's holiday story again and everyday someone asked about his Vostok Europe watch.
And already "how many left Jess, is that it. Guys honestly it's really about getting one sooner rather than later blah blah but don't blame me if you miss out on that watch."

'OOoooo, get this on your wrists lads and it'll draw attention, know what I mean!'
Nope. The very way watches are worn (i.e. on your wrist not around your forehead) means they don't particularly draw attention most of the time, the high majority of the time I reckon. To genuine watch enthusiasts and collectors maybe, but to the masses? Nope. I bet I could walk around Asda in a short sleeved shirt and a £2,000,000 watch on my wrist and I'd almost guarantee no one would stop me to ask about the watch.
They might however stop me to give some advice 'it's the depth of winter laddie, get a jumper on!!!'
Most people don't want to draw attention to themselves.
Shallow, needy, boaster types like to draw attention to themselves.
Draw your own conclusions who IW try to appeal to ...
If it's so good a product and he believes in it so much, even if he does like being bald, why doesn't he try it for a month? Prove it to us because we're not just his customers, we're his prized friends who he keeps telling us that he'd never lie to us. Him and the Goddess swear by every other product they sell but we have no evidence of that.Only on Ideal World would you have a bald guy selling Hair Gain.

So he did say "Rondo" thought he did but thought no, surely he knew the name of the movement manufacturer. One of the more crinch worthy conversations on IW watch shows, when Rob asked about the quality "Swissized" chineese junk I suspect.Rob asks about the quality of the watches
Unknown clueless idiot (looking at his face, looks like he's likes a drink) - "so these use Rondo movements, which are Swiss made, they're mid market, no going to say their the greatest movements in the world, they're not Certina, they're not em yeah the top end what you'd us in a watch that you sell thousands of pounds."
Rondo movements.
And why mention Certina, they don't make movements.
Looked up the unknown idiot, he's sales manager for Bulova, and he says Rondo.

Thanks for the info interesting. They didn't look very good quality to my eye. Not as good as Wenger and the likes. Assumed they might be Chineese components assembled in Switzerland or other way round.To get the necessary value, in the watch, to call it Swiss made or however they do it.Yeah, you would think someone that's worked as a sales manager for Bulova for 9 years would know and pronounce Ronda correctly, ok Bulova use Japanese movements but still, but having seen some of the IW "expert" from various watch brands, then it doesn't surprise me.
I think this is one of the few fashion brands on IW, that are actually assembled in Switzerland, the brand themselves are Swiss, from the little i can find, the watches are assembled in Switzerland. I would say they are probably in the same market sector as Wenger & Swiss Military by Hanowa, although not sure if they make the watches themselves or get someone else to do it for them.
Strangely an address on the JDM site in Switzerland is the same address as for Roamer, and Roamer and Swiss Military have close ties/ share premises, assemble plant etc, so could be Swiss Military by Hanowa are making/assembling the watches for JDM, they do have a similar look to them.
Roamer & Swiss Military assemble plant in Northern Switzerland near the German border, the JDM/Roamer address is 3.5 miles away from there in Wallbach.

Well someone has trouble just saying the word ‘straight’....maybe his A’s turn into o’s
The "rondo" movements you can buy for £7 so no way are high end quality, if the watch brands were that good they would be in high end but they are not, just ask yourself why?, I just wish all the presenters would lay off the am dram otherwise it'll be as bad as tjc.
