They need to look at a brand like Rolex. And, so yes, you cannot walk into a store and buy a men's Rolex. You have to give your details to be on a fake waiting list that can be up to 6 years wait.

I can't see Rolex changing their logo anytime soon. "Bow to the crown"


Rolex are the ultimate marketing brand, slightly above average watches but since the 80s they have made themselves the go to brand to show everyone you have ‘made it’. They artificially limit supply to get everyone wound up into a frenzy over them. The bubble will burst at some point though, only so long you can limit supply before people realise there are better alternatives you can just walk in off the street and buy. Rolex live off their heritage, Omega currently make better watches but their marketing game is severely lacking.

My father always said to 'never trust a man wearing a Rolex'. Advice that has served me well. Thumbs Up Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

In my youth I bought a 'fake', but good sweeping hand, Rolex. Went for an interview, got the job, four years later, aged 48, I retired !!!
Never worked a day since, that was 21yrs ago.

In the spirit of copying everything that nobody wants to see then telling people its new, not copied and doesn't resemble the Telly Tubbies before they walked into a The Macc Lads concert, nor the majority want.

Did anyone see the latest spy shot

You can’t tell much from that photo but it appears to have the look of a big engined rear wheel drive layout. Surprising when it obviously isn’t. However that wouldn’t worry me because when allowed to Jaguar designers almost always turn out great looking cars. I’m sure they will look stunning, I hope they drive that way too and don’t fall apart! WARNING.

No idea what it is, but it looks like something Lagonda produced in the 1980's. They were very gross cars

I was more interested in the Landmaster from Damnation Alley than the new Jaguar.

Well they would pander after the 1% of the population. Laughing

A lot of damage was done in 2010 (approx) when Gov bailed out EU car manufacturers and not others, Citroen I belive and a few others.
Of course they would put foreign car manufacturers first, they had to for tradition didn’t they. Rolling Eyes

That was about the time LR was sold to Ford, which was fairly good, but then when Tata got hold of it things got weird.
Gov never sent any money JLR’s direction, considering the jobs in GB as well.

That doesn’t even include the stupidity of closing Port Talbot steelworks, it is awful and it’s costing people their living.
There is something very wrong about that. TheThunder Rolls🇬🇧🇺🇸

I would like to comment but if I do I run the risk of being questioned by "Starmers Stasi" after being taken from my bed at 03.00hrs

Its fantastic living in a democracy eh?
