Interesting to see Accurist advertising heavily on TV.
I'm watching Robson Jerome in his wild swimming adventure and that is sponsored by Sekonda. I don't recall watches being advertised on TV so frequently in the past.

Agreed - I saw a Tissot one t'other day. Maybe with the recession the more affordable brands are hoping to tempt people away from the pricey stuff for Christmas? :?:

We older Guys will remember the ads for Timex every Christmas, there was a jingle that went:
"Tic a Tic a Timex tra la la". :lol:
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Hello
Watching the football and judging by the pictchside ads,i think each club has a watch associated with it.
Ebel=Arsenal
Hublot= Man utd
Well thats all i can think of (Rainham steel, dont make watches do they ?)

I dont know if i am paying more attention or there is more watch stuff about.
Btw Has anyone else wiled away a few hours watching the Watch commander on one of the shopping Channels,The man is very passionate and although i havent bought any of his wares yet i have been tempted.
I think if you have an interest in something it will become highlighted in general.
Thanks Steve

Steve, yes watch that to see what he is selling, some of it looks tat but other stuff as you say is tempting like the Seapro Diver for £113. But then it has a glass back so how waterproof is it compared to the Seiko's on places like RLT?
