Most of us could ill afford to buy a Duchamp! How the f**k does he know?
I've just Googled 'navy leather bag' and this many results came up ...He says it's hard to find a good navy bag but I'm sure he's known a few sailors in his time.
No comparison bag exists. Sally did something similar the other day. Must be their latest technique to con gullible people into buying crap.I have nnnoooooo idea what bag he’s going on about and I could care less.
Just more of their devious underhand sales techniques, mention something without mentioning it, by which point you've planted the seed in the minds of gullible viewers, equating the tat you're flogging to more expensive alternatives.Crappy bags on sale. Pedro thought when he first saw it that it was "that bag". You'll know the one because it has been heavily advertised and costs over £1000. These bags (in 4 colours) are £24.99 and are leatherette. They should have charged over £100 for it.
Interesting way of selling crap because if Muriel doesn't know what bag he's talking about she will assume she should know.
People in shopping malls will look at you and wonder if its "that bag". But he's not comparing it to "that bag".
He said don't tell anyone what you paid for it! And Muriel's in, and Betty
He said yesterday that it would be the only time we would see these bags, yet here they are again.Crappy bags on sale. Pedro thought when he first saw it that it was "that bag".

Like Sall-i a few months back flogging unbranded boots and literally saying ...No comparison bag exists. Sally did something similar the other day. Must be their latest technique to con gullible people into buying crap.
But that implies he was less than truthful...He said yesterday that it would be the only time we would see these bags, yet here they are again.
Let's say he was doing the presentation at 2pm on Monday 20th May 2024. What he meant was viewers wouldn't see the product again at 2pm on Monday 20th May 2024.He said yesterday that it would be the only time we would see these bags, yet here they are again.
The one I heard her say was when she was selling bengalines. She spoke about that shop that has the entire wall filled with them "you know the shop I'm talking about" and "we're a lot cheaper than they are".Like Sall-i a few months back flogging unbranded boots and literally saying ...
'I think these might be the well known ones you've all heard of but without the tag. Those sell for many times more.'
Followed by a wink.
Blatant outright LYING.
The only shop I have seen them in is Roman Originals.The one I heard her say was when she was selling bengalines. She spoke about that shop that has the entire wall filled with them "you know the shop I'm talking about" and "we're a lot cheaper than they are".
I do frequent shops on a regular basis and have no idea what shop she claimed to be talking about. But there doesn't have to be one because she thinks Ethel and Gladys won't have a clue.
Dr. Edwards needs to pop next door and have a serious word in the Boss’s ear. I think he said Chrissie Boy Duchump had moved very close to him and they both drunk in the same boozer.More exorbitant prices for Duchamp. Put it on your household insurance. What a load of old cobblers. Last of the stock, yeah right.
That made me heave, slow motion video of Sally handing out food to adoring children like she's Mother Theresa.Just seen the Sally Promo, those poor children, having to meet her
I know what you mean, but in fairness there are lots of brands who went under in the quartz crisis and have been resurrected since.
Matthey -Tissot are a tiny, resurrected, brand for sure, and I would expect that in part they are relying on brand confusion to boost sales, but in their automatic watches, they use stock Selitta SW200-1 mechanisms, in the main, so they can be repaired, and serviced, just like most Oris, or Raymond Weil, or CW etc…
Some watch forums are a bit extreme - I think people sometimes post on them to vent, when they’ve bought a Friday-afternoon watch, or they just had wrong expectations of what they would get. A good example, and very similar in many respects, would be Dreyfuss & Co. Now they are part of Rotary who were bought out by the Chinese a few years back. I think now that they own Eterna as well, Dreyfuss is taking a back seat. Anyway, they used ETA 2824-2 calibres in the main, often with Dubois-Dupraz 2021 modules attached to provide Chrono, or other add-on complications (probably not the best practice, really - I’d expect an ETA 2892A2 if a module were being added- it’s just a stronger base calibre, but it’s far from terrible). When ETA stopped providing to independents, they started to use Selitta SW200-1 just like Christopher Ward, or Oris, or Raymond Weil, etc…
But Dreyfuss - like Matthey Tissot - get really bad reviews, and I never understood why. I can repair them easily, and cheaply, and the cases are well made, the crystals sapphire etc.
So I guess what I’m saying is that they aren’t Tissot, and some of their designs are, well, to me an acquired taste (the tiger watch, in particular, I find really ugly) but I don’t see them as quite so bad as the usual IW watches.
And if there’s a Matthey-Tissot automatic that you liked, and it was say £300-£500, I’d see it as a reasonable purchase.
But I’d rather have a Tissot Visodate - especially with the blue dial! I think Hammy also has a Visodate?
