Random musings and general banter.

Although two Welkins served with the Fighter Interception Unit based at RAF Wittering from May to November 1944, where they were used to gain experience and formulate tactics for high altitude fighter operations, the Welkin was never used operationally by the RAF.

Love (actually don't) the Swan & Edgar Elegance, limited edition. £185 on the S & E site, but Gamages have it at £585. Same folk, same watch, why the difference, nothing but conmen.

Elegance Automatic | British Watches | Swan & Edgar

The Hand Assembled Elegance Automatic is a highly sophisticated timepiece and is referred to as the ‘Clean Sweep’, due to the sweeping second hand.

The only thing he knows about is flogging cheap Chinese watches with a made up history. He's a shyster of the first degree, or as Peter says, the tenth degree
I really feel sorry for people who believe this rubbish and buy this crap.

It would seem everything S&E make has a very expensive process involved? Don't think so

Imagine a fighter pilot in WW2 checking his watch and the battery has run out The bullshit started early. And again, aviator watch based on a jet fighter at high altitude against the Luftwaffe. I despair

It seems every plane the RAF used in WW2 was a Jet powered, remember the Lancaster was jet powered as well.

Ain't he just, but watching his father flogging the Gamages watches the other night on TJC, i see where he's learned it from.

If you want a "Melonaise" bracelet or the "Perflection" of quality and build...

I wasn't going to watch this tonight but I can't help myself

Ditto until the Silent Witness repeat comes on

 

[CollyB]

Did he just say the S&E has opened doors?...using it underneath as a wedge to keep it open maybe.

 

[CollyB]

Im impressed that every watch is numbered so one can trace it back to the kid in Wuhan who assembled it...recognition for little Hoo Flung Dung at least.

Glad I'm not on my own watching IW watch programmes, for their comedic value! As a collector of "proper" watches can't believe the total crap they spout, like the Swan & Edgar show tonight. Aviator watch thats styled after a divers watch with 3atm water resistance lol. Give me an honest Chineese watch like a Seagull every time.

As I've said before, there are some decent Chinese watches out there, Parnis, Corgeut, Bliger etc, much better than S&E rubbish with no bull behind.

Where do they get the RRPs from

From the recesses of their over-active imaginations.
