You all are going to take my hobby away. Realy folks with all of the cool watches leave Inv. alone step back from the table and let it go. The design team that designed the watches that you all use to talk about on the old forum left about two + years ago you can only get skrewed so many times. They keep trying to redo old ideas they picked up off the cutting room floor.

As you all know, I have several Invicta's which I love (2014/2015, 8926ob, S1 prodiver, 2274/2275, etc), but, I have absolutley no respect for the company because they have instilled true fear into the saying ,"caveat emptor". They have no intellectual (or actual) honesty. As to JS, I truly do not know the extent of his watch knowledge, nor do I really care. To me, Jim Skelton "lost it" when I discovered the depth of his dishonesty, depravity and lack of character and personal ethics. and now...............back to lurking!

No comment on if Jim has lost it, but I need to ask.......if he's the watch "Guru" why does he do so few shows???? He doesn't work 4 hours a week. 2hours of watches yesterday handled by Daniel Clark? 2 early shows today someone else and Shawn tonight/tomorrow????????? Granted he does do primetime Sunday and Wednesday, but thats it....and rightly so Slop does not have him sell anything else.:( Sorta odd to me:(

If any one looked the price on the automatic Speedway went up $200 +, from the last time it was on Slop. Not for sure did not get mine there, but tried to keep track of it. I thought they only droped the price to the point it took all of the value out of it. They are saving that for later. Last edited on Sat May 6th, 2006 01:07 pm by e.avery |

Really begs the question "did he ever have it?" Only 3 years ago he was selling dark glasses and fossil watches in an eyeglass hut somewhere.. He has come a great distance in terms of his personal fortunes. It is amusing how we put him on a pedestal for what we think he is, and come to revile him for lacking the traits we, ourselves have mistakenly attributed to him. JS is a hawker of TV merchandise to late night, sleep deprived people. He sells by promoting an illusory comparative value to truly great watches, and by creating a false sense of urgency in his following. As his followers become increasingly knowledgeable, his relevancy is reduced by a similar degree. As long as we endlessly discuss him, his perceived credibility will remain pretty high. This is why you are asking the question "Has JS lost it?". ...Nope...Never had it to begin with. IMHO it is time that JS became a non factor in our watch world. New Wissers who let him do their thinking do so at their peril. JS is there to sell thousands and thousands of watches. His prime directive is to move product. Whether or not he is a real watch fancier is entirely beside the point (and rather a good smoke screen). First and forever, he is a peddler whose job it is to sell many thousands of watches a week. JS hasn't lost a thing. He is steady as Gibralter, and predictable as George Bush the younger. Last edited on Sat May 6th, 2006 03:31 pm by Eddyboy |
