Invicta Watches

[BurlyBeaR]

One word: Chavvy.

 

[vampyre]

Did you know Chavi is a Romany word, used a pet term for child, youths or an unmarried woman? So you can add mental images of caravans etc. to the burberry, hair extensions and tango tan ones.

You DO surprise me:

 

[vampyre]

Delightful, simply delightful. Actually since I found out the derivation I've stopped using the word because the woman lecturing me about it was scary,

Just how did you get your fingers on my picture HC? I gave exclusive rights to Hello, OK and Heat so you must have been watching me........:wink:

i'm struggling to understand the appeal of a watch the size of a brick, presented in a yellow shoebox.

clearly i'm very old fashioned.

Get another Skagen Sweetie, your impulse under the influence buy was very successful.
Some of the invincta timepieces looked to be the size of a pocket watch.

 

[BusyLizzie]

I think they're the size of a brick BB so you can clock someone with them if necessary!! :tongue:

 

[vampyre]

Oh dear, the first post wasn't an isolated incident.

Mayday! Mayday! BL is feeling punny tonight.

My first husband was descended from gypsies, his grandma's family used to park their caravan (the romantic painted horse-drawn type) on the beach at Blackpool. Wonder if I was cursed when I chucked him? Not as much as if we'd stayed married!....but I digress...

It's timepieces TIMEPIECES....how many times does Charlie have to say it before you get it?

Time.....ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz.....pieces...Oh yeah we all nodded off after the first syllable.

He's been watching Antiques Roadshow and got confused. Timepiece is the name given to clocks that don't strike a chime. (Clock is derived from the french word cloche which means bell)

A watch is a watch.

 

[HoodedClaw]

A watch is a watch.

And Charlie, while inoffensive, is a gonk.

 

[vampyre]

And Charlie, while inoffensive, is a gonk.

Without the associated aesthetic appeal of a gonk.

 

[HoodedClaw]

Without the associated aesthetic appeal of a gonk.

Do gonks have an aesthetic appeal?

 

[vampyre]

Do gonks have an aesthetic appeal?

I think so but then I think Aye-Ayes are gorgeous and have a pea brained pug dog.

 

[Rentochops]

I always think of The Apprentice when I hear about these watches, I'm sure there was a team in it called Invicta!

 

[vampyre]

I misheard some presenter and thought they said Invictus. Then reality hit that even QVC aren't going to be able to flog poetry.

 

[Frazzled]

Got to hand it to BL, for a second I wondered "did she dial Qcut quickly enough?" or "was she out of time?" :rock:

Sorry Vampyre!
