Its Watches time woop
Cos he thinks he's on national TV across the airwavesWhy does Peter do its Saturday Night, across Britain stuff for
And the lies begin, not 2mins in
It seems they let any gob-turd on air. They would really benefit from being more descriptive of the products, and lets face it honest, but perhaps the punters just buy anyway.
A good start would be to get shut of Mason, Simon, furnishings Alex,Tim, Den, little and large Chefs , probably 75 percent of the over enthusiastic numpties, there has got to be way more credible sales people out there.
The male clothes model Steve is right up will the best of them talking turd, every clothing item is ‘absolutely incredible’ and a first last night, putting on a pair of a brand of trainers felt ‘mind blowing’. ‘Mind blowing’ ,what a load of absolute tripe.
Sounds like a load of old fables thenSquare tourbillon is very unusual they say and one of the great watches from Swan & Edgar, took a year to develop and 6 months to build and is at a price which is unheard of.
Not in China they're not.
Here near enough same watch, just different hands and face design, which wouldn't effect the price, case & movement are exactly same.
Brain dead paying £990 on IW, folks with a brain save £600 buying from Ali, there it's £263.63, ok you may get stung with tax at customs but at most will add £75 to the Ali price.
I think it's Aesop that actually assemble them, some of the other Swan & Edgar tourbillons also copy Aesop designs.
Their lack of brand research was particularly telling/painful with Mann Egerton since that brand was used for car dealerships in certain parts of the UK not that long ago (at least up to sometime in the '00s if I'm not mistaken). So for a lot of potential buyers including myself (not a potential buyer), Mann Egerton isn't a wartime precision engineering company but somewhere you would get a Renault Clio serviced. Obviously the Fields mustn't have had a Mann Egerton car showroom near them...As somebody who remembers the dying days of Edgar & Swan (they had still had display windows in the passages near the main circulating area at Dicadilly Pircus in the early 1980s) the store itself had little kudos then that I was ever aware of. Lumped in at the Arding & Hobbs and Army & Navy levels I guess. The name buyer/user must have felt it souned fancy, had the ‘posh’ Piccadilly siting connection, and that enough time had passed for most targeted buyers not to have a living connection with the reality of what the store was in its latter days of trading.
It's all horrible deception; indeed it would be more honest if they just made up a name (and some legitimate watch brands have done that). An online random name generator has given me the names Grantham and Lambert so you can have those two for free.I find the whole business of the resurrection of the dead brands a deeply cynical and generally unwholesome business. The process to me seems essentially manipulative and wholly deceptive, with the real true history of what has happened and why never explained. Selling goods through illusion and fantasy is something that shouldn’t be allowed, and if we had a proper organisation policing these types of television advertising presentations, they wouldn’t allow them in the first place without a proper detailed explanation making it crystal clear that these borrowed names of companies long gone are simply just that, and have absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with the goods being sold now. Surely anybody with any serious financial resources and/or common sense wouldn’t go anywhere near these types of products. So to me the only people suffering essentially are those gullible fools paying out over inflated prices for cheap Chinese made watches that they think are not.
Sounds like you got the same deal as me, came with about 7/8 bottles of cleaner that are worth approx £80 alone. It has been a really good buy too, worked wonders on a few carpets.They do have some real bargains at times and I have also ordered from there on a few occasions and generally have been pleased with the speed of delivery. I remember buying a Rug Doctor a year or two back and the price for the machine, plus the extras included couldn't be beaten elsewhere.
We have a Ninja, they have really solid build quality, the griddle type tray you can use for steaks on ours weights an absolute ton.told my dad off earlier he ordered one of those Ninja air fryers, told him he could get better on IW he laughed
but at times you do get good offers, and the delivery is good
