Toy Watch

[sneijder]

I swear to God, how have they been getting away with it ?

Everything they do is a blatant rip off, viddy these :





That first effort is just shy of $200, and the second abortion just under $400.

Whoever is doing the marketing is very very good. The missus is eight months gone and about to drop, so I bring home all the glossies for her to keep her amused for 3 minutes, Every 'celebrity' is wearing them and every fashion page has them on.

$300 for a plastic Ed Hardy (which is bad enough) 'Homage' ?

Step right up :



Luckily the missus hasn't left her magazines open at the page 'by accident'. But by Jove if she does ....

Just had a look there.

While the watches aren't to my taste, they are not really trying to be something they are not. In fact, they are arguably taking the mick out of the more expensive brands.

I like the look of some of there watches, but for a plastic quarts watch they seam a tad expensive.

This apparently is why certain "celebs" are wearing them, either as an ironic statement - taking the piss out of the people who wear the expensive brands.

I bought one of these for my boy.

Its quite a good looking watch, 9was0 very unusual and it cost less than a hundred quid from Selfridges.

Prices seem to have rocketed as the celebs have pounced on them.

God. So now we're taking the piss out of the celebrities for wearing these and they might be taking the piss out of us for liking expensive watches?
