longshot Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 $4700.00 for a fugly quartz watch that supposedly protects you from harmful electronic emmissions Wouldn't a tinfoil hat just be cheaper? But I guess Oprah does not want to wear her tinfoil hat in public Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvt Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I have always HATED the Philipe Sein watches, they are just aweful. A family memebr owns a jewelry store and repeatedly asks me if I think he should carry this line... NO!!!!!! I keep telling him and yet I think he might go for it... sad.

ahchard Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Thanks for that!!! Great spotting with a lousy photo like that... actually I took the photo with my camera phone...the image was on my laptop screen. I tried to do a print screen and paste it in paint and save it as a jpeg...but it would not let me do it!!! Maybe cos the image was in windows media player?.... it was off some music video and I paused and did a print screen... it showed up when i pasted it in paint...but when i saved it as a jpeg the image went blank.... weird.... anyway.... i agree the watch looks weird and is probably and acquired taste....

tvt Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I agree 100% , he needs to stock what sells and makes him money. But I don't think this watch will sell, especially where his store is located (Colorado which is very outdoorsy and rugged, not the type of place where people want watches of this style). Years ago I told him to buy panerai (about 6 years back BEFORE the trend hit full force) and he chose not to. Today he is kicking himself as he can no longer get them for the store (plus if he would have carried them it means I could of purchased them at cost damn it!).

Guest TTK Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Only reason Reg guessed it was because he's been sitting on a handful of them that he brought back from his Marco Polo expedition to Guangzhou via the Silk Road.......and canny shift the fugly things....
