Also during last night show, they were flogging the Mathey-Tissot Type 21 chrono with Pesaux P350 movement on a Leather Strap.
The model number on the watch was H1821CHATNO (this tells you what model range it is, whether auto or quartz movement, and type of strap), which is kinda strange as I have a watch with that number, except it comes on a Bracelet and mine comes with the original Valjoux 7750 instead of the Pesaux. The Leather strap model number should be H1821CHAT
LNO.
Makes me wonder if someone is cobbling together different parts (should have bracelet not a leather strap) to produce more of a certain watch to sell at a given price, I say that because Reynolds said they sold the Valjoux version before at a dearer price, which is crap, because when I got mine, from Jomashop and was comparing prices with IW and others, IW’s price was £1249.99 which is less than the £1299.99 last night, and that was the bracelet version which are more expensive than the Leather version on last night.
Also Mathey-Tissot is still selling (the last few according to their web site) this watch on a leather strap, with the Valjoux in it, and with the correct model number.
So why is Reynolds showing a watch that doesn’t match it’s model number? Is it another quirk of being a sample/display model like the one that wasn’t working?
