More bad watch brand names...

[williemays]

The GrillTimer BBQ Wristwatch by Little Griddle. Pat Pend.

Not naming the brand Liddle Griddle was a missed opportunity.

Not sure whether to apologise or make a cheeky lowball offer ... what's the forum etiquette in these situations?

I believe the MO is to pretend you have one, source an internet pic then post in SC about how the market for them has gone pear due to brand revelations so you're selling.

Low ball yourself using your dual account, revert to your original account and cave in at a low price.

Then post a WTB for one citing a change of heart and quoting the recent SC sale as a reference.

I'll take a Marronpain in exchange. Nothing more nothing less.

YOU TRY finding a more pointless name than this Orient sub-brand ....

[snowman]

I cannot believe the translation has never occurred to me before. I actually think I've gone off my gorgeous Bathyscaphe now. Absolutely gutted.

But everything sounds better in French

You are quite right
e.g. maladie vénérienne or les hémorroïdes

Both don’t sound quite as bad in French...

Ah! Les oignons-de-cul et le Pox Anglaise! Frotter beaucoup vigorously avec le wire-brush et le Dettol!

Agreed, sounds so much better

[TimeThoughts]

Geckota is a terrible name....

[Itsguy]

Had enough of clown watches? How about a moron watch for only £19,398? Oh sorry, that’s ‘Mauron’.

I knew it all along, and therefore I am not surprised, but I actually like this

How would Jesus tell the time if he was amongst us today?

Not sure how he'd feel about Roman numerals.

I bought my one and only G-Shock from Christ.

I'm French and 'white bread' is 'pain blanc' but I'm being pedantic.

I've always struggled with this brand - http://en.marvinwatches.com/

What time is it? 42.

Careful, he might pounce on you

These Jesus puns have made me a little cross.

[Sinnlover]

I think you could prophet from religious branded watches

[Oracle]

I think you've nailed it there!

Not strictly a brand name, but Glashutte Original had a range of (I think) four 'Julius Assmann' models -

I wonder if Seymour Butts wears one?

[snowman]

I've mentioned it before but I think IWC (International Watch Company) sounds exactly the kind of name a cheap HK operation would come up with.

Migma Plankton.

Watch itself is great but the name is a constant reminder of this little fella



Good thing they did not engrave it all over the watch
