Aquaswiss or Aquaswizz?
Last night after 11 o'clock, Mikey was in good form. He brought to air 3 Aquaswiss watches. He goes into his spiel about how many film stars wear Aquaswiss watches. Photos of Charlie Sheen, William Shatner etc. were shown and the viewers told how these stars all wear the watch brand. Mikey goes on to say that the watches sell for over $1,400 on the Aquaswiss web site. It is true that the watches are on that site at that sort of price. However, these prices are grossly inflated and Aquaswiss watches never ever sell for antwhere near that kind of money. It puts me in mind of the likes of Klaus Kobec and Oskar Emil. These watches also have rediculously high MSRPs and sell for a small fraction of them. Aquaswiss is simply just another internet mushroom brand and as far as I know are not sold in any store.
So mikey starts the first watch off at over £900, he has a quantity of only 7. He goes on about the stars wearing the watch and the price on the Aquaswiss web site and how Captain Kirk wears one. Well, if it's good enough for Captain Kirk, it should be good enough for little old you was the suggestion. At over £700, the first watch is sold and Mikey says "it's getting towards the stage now where you could sell the watch on". (Think we've all heard this before). The last watch is sold when the price drops to £518!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To me £518 for a 3 hand quartz watch is too much to pay for any brand, let alone what is a mere Aquaswiss. The next watch he sold was the same style with gold plated case and went for an even higher £530!!!
This is the style of the watches which he sold.
The actual watches were just a different colour. In fact the first was a stainless steel case and bracelet with black dial. The second gold plated. In every other way they were identical. The watch in the picture is in fact on sale on eBay in the ocean_treetrading shop, which is owned and run by sit-up. The price ther is £147 and it's a question if they are even worth that much?

I have also seen this style watch sold on the sit-up channels previously for a little over £200.
I know that no one forced the people to buy the watches on the channel. It was just the way they were sold as such high end watches, when they are anything but! It was very clever, but at the same time very underhand. Obviously the people who bought the pieces, knew nothing about watches and were completely misled.
Well done Mike Mason. I bet the company is really proud of you todaY.
