    A new watch arrived in the post today and on the face it says 30 cecond chonograph, is that a misspelling, I don't know what a chonograph is, the watch isn't a chronograph, and I've never seen second spelled with a c ?

    lol thats pretty funny , no it was 30 euro , impulse buy from wus, I like it though
    I can't believe they are misspellings surely not, misspell second on a watch face thats hilarious maybe they were trying to be cool , I googled chonograph and there are many watches decribed as,
    I'm going to email the makers support and see what the story is.

    A mate of mine brought a watch back from India many years back and it had Bollex on the dial. Pretty good(mechanical too) copy of a Rolex oyster. Class. :D

    I know, I know the charter what I did wrote has a blanket ban on fakes, but c'mon, "Bollex"? :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    My parents brought me back a RADD watch from Turkey years ago. Even uglier than the real thing, and the black coating would come off on your wrist. Ceramic it wasn't.
