 Want horological knowledge, do you?  Here goes:  host of show told viewers that he'd been taught by the experts all about watches so he could do the shows.  And, "here was some exciting news he could pass on. 

"When the part that goes around your wrist is made of leather or some material, it is called a strap.  If it is made of metal, it is called a bracelet.  I didn't know that, did you?"

Now, how do you like that for real horological knowledge?  I all but parc-ed my pants!  Sadly, you're right about the influx of money to the bank.  Those who admire him and think him hot stuff (along with CG, et al) make excuses for everything.

TT, quite frankly, was my tutor......happened across him by chance and was mesmerized by the info he passed on about a watch he was showing.  'til then, I had but one watch!  Then, the sickness crept in.

However, when he left that place, I quit watching his pseudo-fill-in after one show.  Will now shut up.  Your last Vote For blew my mind--which isn't saying all that much about my mind. :D

 You would think after repeated shows selling watches, some modicum of real horological knowledge would simply be acquired by the host, even if just by OSMOSIS!
