Thread: Hilarious dial typos

  1. #1

    Hilarious dial typos

    Just watched a video on the many dial typos of Aliexpress watches by Just One More Watch on YouTube. A good laugh :D

    First up the Guanqin CHERONOMETER, made since the year 8500



    Then we have the Cradle Pulr To M’Lsationgs

    Two from Loreo, must be the cheapest COSC certified watches on the planet.. or not

    The ‘Oyster Perpetual Superlative Chronometer Officially Certifed

    And the second (update from the above actually), the ‘Eternall Classic Superlative Movementter Cnisoally Certifed

    Nice xD

    Many of the names of Chinesium dump-bin watches seem to involve the randomised use of an unfamiliar alphabet - kind of the reverse situation to douchebags with ill-researched Chinese-character tattoos which years later turn out to mean "child molester", "public phone booth", &c.

    "No, no - it means he's qualified to work Cnisoally."

    Fantastic. I thought I would check the scale, which is clearly Gradue pour 30 pulsations, and to lend s little credit to them, it is mostly correct.
    It is a shame that it misses a lot of the more relevant part of the scale from 100 to 150, and that it rather optimistically has a 300 where it should be 200 (which in itself is a little unlikely to be used), but otherwise the M'LSATIONGS are about right.

    I had a friend of Iranian ancestry who got a tattoo in Farsi. He brought a package to the tattoo parlour and asked them to copy the text. He though the text meant Persian or Made in Iran. When he revealed it to his parents they went from being furious to falling around in hysterics. It meant freezer bag.

    I know it kinda ruins the joke, but it would just be pronounced gwan chin. The Q makes a ch sound for mandarin.

    When we opened the case and took a look inside, we felt sad at first, but had to chuckle when, rather than finding the familiar Rolex Caliber3135, there was a cheap Japanese Miyota movement, entirely unembellished and wholly without engravings, held in place by a cheap plastic movement-holder ring. Our chuckles became genuine laughter when we read the engraving on the inner surface of the case’s back. Spelledout in capital letters across the shiny steel disk was a peculiar combina-tion of words and nonsense letters: ”MONARCH POLFY SA GELENA SHITINERAND.” Even before we read the first syllable of the last word, it was already obvious to us that what we were holding in our hands was best handled with forceps. But which regent did the counterfeiters have in mind when they inscribed the word “monarch”? And what in the world is a “POLFY”? After considering these five capital letters for arather long time, we realized that adding a little straight line to the right spot on each letter would transform “POLFY” into “ROLEX.” The counterfeiters, who most likely hail from East Asia, seem to have encountered some problems with the Latin alphabet. In fact, the entire engraving was intended to imitate the one inscribed on the inside back cover of a genuine Rolex: “MONTRES ROLEX SA GENEVA SWITZERLAND.”

    Nice to see this one return to Ebay.



    If I'm not mistaken, markrlondon almost bought it.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
