Everybody knows Accurist and Sekonda, a high percentage from the older generations will have probably owned one at some point. ok they are not what they were back in their heydey, but have still kept a good ethos, of decent quality watches at really affordable prices for the masses.
I like the fact within seconds of starting speaking about the first watch, he actually mentioned it was a Miyota movement in the watch, within that few seconds he was already higher up the trustworthy ladder, than most of the other so called expert guests. Only one guest actually mentions what movement is in every watch he's selling and that's Reynolds, but he let's himself down when he exaggerates and provide misinformation, think he's been working at IW too long and it's rubbing off on him, but he always tells you the movement. The rest either never tell you the manufacturer of any movement or only do it with a very select few watch that have better movements, prime examples are MR Slava & Mason's 80s reminiscing buddy, they gush over the movements in some CCCP watches, but never tell you what Chinese/Japanese movements are inside the other Solar Time brands and Noddy will tell you what's inside Swiss Military watches but not what's inside the fashion and licensed brands he sells.
So to mention who's movement is in the watch straight off is a good sign for me.
