That’s the same watch

 

[Price Plunge]

They've sold 120 of those Damages Polymath watches. Amazing,

 

[Hammy60]

It’s not the same without Peter Simon

Although they speak as much bullshit, it's just not as entertaining, it's a bit boring. Maybe it's the format of spending so much time on just a couple of watches, there isn't the same urgency being conveyed, whereas IW had a lot more watches being shown, and everything felt quicker, presenters and guests were spouting the bullshit at a faster pace, with it's check out or miss out right from the start.

I cannot watch elder Fields he usually has that lackey Mark Gould with him...like a trained chimp..I find them both nauseating....

Well my text never got read out… I suppose calling all involved a bunch of shunts was never going to endear me to the process…

I‘ve seen enough of The Jewellery Channel now to know it cannot replace Ideal World for my shopping channel humour fix. Presenters are generally humourless and staid, the way it is staged visually is tedious to the eye, products (particularly if you loathe jewellery) dull, boring and pointless. Hodgson is the only one I’ve seen with any life or satire to him. But stuck in that format there is not much he can do with it. Regardless of its numerous faults commercially- Ideal World was quicker paced format wise, a gift to continually give in ridiculous terms, and at its heights, with a quirkier and far more interesting range of goods.

I think the presenter last night, could be entertaining If he tried hard enough

Martyn Parker has bought up Iw saying how he had 20 plus happy years working for the company

 

[Deleted member 21838]

And 20 miserable years watching him..

 

[Jazzydrury]

At least Parker as they call him, wasn’t ever overkill or creepy

Turned onto TJC and it’s Jenny Cleary, she’s often a laugh, but as I found out when she worked at Create and Craft the funnier moments were her deftness

So what does it mean that I cannot find a single Nubeo or Earnshaw on the TJC site now? Nothing in search, nothing in watches section, nothing in 7-day catch-up from Saturday.

Did they all sell out? Or have they been withdrawn or taken back by JB as unsold, sale or return?

Also, how does the economics work?! If they're only selling 8 to 12 watches, say total of 30, with say £100 mark-up on Earnshaw, that's £3k for 2hours broadcasting... It must cost around or more than that for studio, staff, presenters, etc ? Or it's the £1k Tourbillons with £800 mark-up make it worthwhile?

So today I searched on TJC and both the Nubeo and Earnshaw watches are re-listed on the site again. Weird. So not sold out or returned after all.

The Earnshaw automatics are now minimum £199+, £239 and £300+ so I think they left them off after the Black Friday July doorbuster discount prices from Saturday and now relisted them at new inflated "standard" prices.

I had a look yesterday during the Gamages show and there was nothing then, so must have been added since last night.

They've also some strange pricing going on, same watch but they are charging £300 more for a yellow dial.
If anything the blue dial watch should be slightly dearer have an IP/PVD plated case.

Creepy? I found him incredibly creepy. He made Shaun Crawley look like Sean Bean..

Duke in which way, I’ve always found him sound, his humour is dry I find

Over a year ago I ordered pro col through ideal world.
first a week ago I received an email direct from pro col with a familiar face smiling out at me and today this arrived in my post.

Afternoon drinking does that to you!

Not my cup of tea he looks shifty too, another shopping telly wide boy with the usual patter.
