As for the watches I think a Breitling or Rolex is a tad high end (I'm sure though there would be a few could afford one on here?) However a Citizen or Seiko special edition would have gained a bit more interest I would have thought ?and still been affordable ... teehee i'm world renowned my paintings are all over the world , perhaps in toilets but they all count 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take time to get things right. He has probably been naive in think doing everything in house would be better. As for the watches they would've been better putting out a statement ala Glastonbury that demand was so high that they sold out very quickly and refunds would be made ASAP and leave it that. Then when the 150 watches had been shipped offer the others at something like a £100. How hard can it be to order 150 watches? SWFC Commercial Office: We want 150 limited edition watches to celebrate our glorious 150 years, what can you do for us? Bare in mind not one of us who works here has got a scooby what we're doing because of the last 15 years or summat like that. Supplier: Errm, ehy???... You can have 643 at 30 notes a chuck...While you're here, do you fancy some cycling shirts? SWFC: We're a football club, what do we want cycling shirts for? Supplier: Well...umm, err...they are blue and white and Chris Froome is sort of English. SWFC: Brilliant, we'll take the lot...Do you meck home kits? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest they were always going to sell out very quickly. Where they have fallen down is what has happened after they've reached 150 sales. As I said what they then should d have done is posted on the OS that as expected interest in the watches was huge and they sold out very quickly. People who were unlucky will be refunded ASAP. There will be a number of the same watches available which will not be numbered. If you are interested in purchasing one of these at a reduced price please contact the club on *********. Job done. I do think there is a modicum of feet stamping tantrums from some who didn't get one tbh. Edited October 8, 2017 by darra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I really like mine. Useful feature of day and month on the dial. Just can't believe Meadowhall was that quiet today 2 weeks before Christmas. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have highlighted a scenario that no one apart from your good self could have ever foreseen...that demand would outstrip supply...who'd have thought it eh? It really is basic stuff to get right, sell only 150 of the limited edition watches and like you say have a back up option for the ones who missed out.
