Some watch shows this weekend, Bordell tonight, and unusual for him, he has some actual decent watches in the form of Eterna, of course he'll still be conning folk with his mass of Chinese made watches with fake history and heritage and then we have Reynolds Tomorrow.
On Tomorrow's show, the Elica is back, that monstrosity of a watch with the "Bombay glass" is back, all 3 colourways, and strangely, according to their web site, at the same price , I say strangely as last week Peter Simon had this to say. Bit in red is mine not Peter.
Peter in his serious speaking mode – “We’re going now to the 2nd World launch of a Mathey-Tissot Elica Sellita SW200 movement
(That should actually be SW200-1, well i hope it is, as the SW200 was an older movement with problems, easily broken teeth on ratchet/gear wheels when being hand wound). There are 3 colourways, and there are very little stock. They were £1400 and it was going to come to air at £800, they took another 10% off, ok, that further 10% off has taken you down to £720, you will pay on four flexis, £180 on four flexis. You’re the first to see it, you’re the first to own it and
you’re the only ones that are going to get this discount, now let me just clarify that.
This is the only 90 minutes with the 10% off on the show that shouldn’t have been here, that’s us, on the fact that we didn’t know we were going to get and it was looking as if it would be the following week that this Elica watch would come to us. You’ve also got the capped p & p,
but it will end, this is the only chance to get these with this offer off, and I’ll be honest with you initially this wasn’t the case.”
Of course Reynolds responded with the price is wrong, even the £1400 is wrong for a watch of this quality. It's all wrong i tell you.
So obviously wasn't the only 90 minutes, show or last chance to get these at those prices, a case of Peter and his rush the buyer tactics, must buy now, only chance to get, never to be seen again at these prices.
Will also be interesting how Reynolds describes the watches with the ETA movements tomorrow, last week, because it was only a Sellita movement on the show, it was like ETAs are a thing of the past and the Sellitas are the new kings of the block, even watch collectors are saying on the forums they are better than the ETAs. Wonder if he'll be back to being they're best things since sliced bread and since Aviator won't be able to buy them anymore you must purchase this watch as you won't get it again with a legendary ETA movement.
