Sorry to hear that. I think it looks great and adds character. It's a collector's item. You should hold on to it and it will increase in value over time. Hope you get one that sings to you. | |

| Y-Y-A-A-A-A-WN! However, this is a great deal. The retail value is $99! SWI is offering 6 value pays on the $4.99 Once Only Price. |

Hope you get one that sings to you. The 32nd day was pulled from his "magical sack of wonder"...Get that bad boy on the wall and give it plenty of look time!!! |

| Oh, phuktard (gawd, I love that word), I can't believe I'm going to admit to the curmudgeons herein that I bought one of these......
Well, actually, WoW "gave" it to me...it was, I think, $7.99 when I got it — and came with a $10 gift card. I wanted the card more than the calendar.
So, here's my mini-review:
What I like about it: • Fairly good watch pics. I know, I know, "Slick" is a (fill in with your own favorite adjective).....but we will, I think, all admit that he's a decent photographer. Plus, the only mention that he took the pics is on the back — which is against the wall.
Did I mention that it was free?
What I don't like about it • The front cover says "To purchase these and over 3,000 styles at up to 80% off, visit worldofwatches.com. For everything else watches, visit watchgeeks.net"
I think such an explicit endorsement of a single watch forum by a watch manufacturer/distributor is in extremely poor taste.
• It contains notations in specific days about the birthdays of seemingly everybody who works at Wow/SWI. Do I really care that CS rep Herrson Taylor's birthday is January 5? Should Herrson be concerned that now everybody owns this little nugget of information?
The only non-Wow/SWI folks so "honored" are Android's Wing Liang and Croton's David Mermelstein.....oh, yea...and Slick. Not only his birthday, but also the date of his 6th anniversary at ShopNBC. What a friggin' blow job.
Would I have bought it if I knew it was filled with this shit? No phuktard way.

| I suspect Jim Skelton (Praise His Name and Offspring) dreamed up the calendar as a way to put a little extra coin in his pocket. I'd guess he sold 'em the photos - or turned it into a geek revenue stream. Lior WAS his best man! |

| The calendar actually says.."For everything else watches visit Geeks"? That is some bullshit right there. Why would Lior want to send his customers to a forum? Especially that one? A forum is the last place a TV brand should be sending it's customers. |

| I'm happy that we have a glowing review of the Calendar right here on our own forum! I know that I am very glad that I can already have HIS name and birthday on my calendar. No more the drudgery of having to transcribe it from last year's calendar. No more worry that I might smudge it on the slick paper and have to get a new calendar so HIS name is perfect on it. Oh, the release from those stressors is worth so much more than the pittance they are asking for it. |
