They forgot most important thing, pay some fake expert on youtube to shill your product for you telling their audience how magnificent and gentlemenlike the design of the case and hands and the strap are. This is they key to success.

So a forced landing in Monsieur Bremont’s turnip field is the way to go. Standby for the ‘Peterhead - thank fook we reached dry land because I have quite literally shat myself', new brand name for Offshore Professional. Massive social media campaign dependent on surly teenage children.

Unfortunately the post got deleted before someone could direct them to this thread, to help them with marketing.

I think they've got it sussed:

Name - tick
Swiss movement - tick
Heritage & story - tick
Unrelated pictures - tick
Social media - tick

Even the price is bang what the article suggests you can get away with. I do like the case knurling though.

Fantastic story behind that watch and so many pictures which are related to something. That's how Rolex and the holy trinity release all their watches so who can blame these lads for copying the perfect recipe for success. I'm waiting for an in-depth review on the Fake Aristocrat's youtube channel.

smile bought an old engraving machine as well, but after buggering up the back of my wife's watch I decided to use laser engraving instead.

Anyone fancy buying it? comes with an instruction manual

I'm blown away that by having a nice design idea and getting

https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Build-your-...

to build you some test units for marketing to use this promo formula

that you could end up clearing apx $130 per unit on a 300 unit run = $40k ish.

Bonkers. I'm tempted to do it in the evening for sts and giggles!
