Love the review (2*)

I bought this item as a stocking present for the missus this last christmas, I was disappointing to find that the watch did not have the date easily visible, this is extremely disappointing and I had to drive all the way back to the post office in my Bugatti Veyron, half way there I realized I forgot to update my insurance. I was then forced to drive all the way home (a full 5 minutes) and get in the Ferrari 599 instead. This was just the first of my problems. When I got home I found the wife had cheated on me and we have divorced. She got £865m off the divorce, I am extremely disappointed with this product and for that reason I have decided to give it 2 stars.

By the way if anyone is in the market for a 15 bedroom villa in Monico give me a call on my diamond encrusted iphone 4gs.

Re: Shock, Horror.

I wouldn't even pay the shipping charge for the watch. It's butt-ugly.

Love that review too (4*):

A fairly decent timepiece. I felt it was slightly overpriced, but if, like me, you have 300K burning a hole in your pocket then it's worth a punt. As the item suggests, this is a Minute Repeater, as in it repeats minutes. I can confirm that it does this effectively.
The strap is made of crocodile, so you know it's good. The minute and hour hands are made out of the whiskers of snow-leopards, and the mechanism itself is powered by the teardrops of baby pandas. This all makes for good timekeeping.
So why not 5 stars? Mainly, it's the image on the face of the watch. It appears to be of a circus; you have the usual circus sights of dancing bears, clowns, ballerinas and a guy hitting a tiger with a stick, but there is no tight-rope walker. This is a glaring ommission.
In these challenging financial times, you could be forgiven for thinking it foolhardy to spend 300K on a watch, but if you are in need of a quality timepiece displaying a circus scene (and you can forgive the lack of tight rope walker) then you could do alot worse.
Also arrived in good 'time' - thanks Amazon!

Re: Shock, Horror.

I took a peek at the sellers other products for sale.

Re: Shock, Horror.

If we sold our house I could buy but it doesn't have any numbers on it.

As an after thought we wouldn't have anywhere to live!

Re: Shock, Horror.

Re: Shock, Horror.

would you entrust delivery to the usual suspects ????

Re: Shock, Horror.

Sorry, I thought you meant it was a fair way higher....

Anyway, for that amount, I would want at least 10% discount...

Re: Shock, Horror.

Can I just have the discount and not bother with the watch?
