Wheeling Jim Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I found these watches on Overstock.com under luxury watches. They claim to be Swiss watches, with MRSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mike Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 ShopNBC brand as I like to refer to them. Roots might be Swiss but the watchs are not. Interesting looking though. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailboss Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 This guy again He pops up all the time. I'm lazy to night so I'm gunna cut and paste what Greg_r had to say about one of his other brands on RWG1.1 yesterday. This is the guy who makes up watch brands, invents a back story for 'em and puts up web sites. He then starts selling cheap but flashy chinese watches on eBay, uBid and a couple of other sites. There's potential to get a nice-looking watch for very little money, so it's not really a rip-off, but newbs get sucked in by the backstory and frequently bid way too high. He just comes up with something that has the right kind of tone and assumes that people won't really pay much attention. Works, too. He also sells watches under Bernoulli, Eberle, Wohler, Louis Richard and several other brands. All of 'em made up. All of 'em with websites that 'confirm' the high RRP he quotes. Very nice little scam - and some of the watches are really genuinely nice - albeit inexpensively made. He charges a lot of money for p&p to make sure he covers his costs and then just banks on the gullible to bid too high. Slick little operation, and he's been doing this for years. Nothing wrong with the watches but Swiss? No, sorry. Made in same factories as our reps probably. Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheeling Jim Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Thats what I said in my post. They are probably made in the same factories as the other chineese watches. I never said they were swiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Nice watch for the money. Certainly more "exclusive" than a 90 USD Submariner. I was attracted to the "Aeromatic 1912" and "Tauchmeister" brands when my interest in watches started.. They are "German" brands.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yeah seen lots of these supposedly expensive watch brands selling for....cheap ....on the bay. Still for 91 bucks I would say your a winner on this one. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
