Re: What Your TV Watch Says About You
Fifteen million Stuhrling Originals?!?franklin wrote: ↑August 6th 2020, 7:02amStührling is such an obvious "German transliteration" of the English word Sterling that I'm surprised anyone at all falls for it. But, at least they don't claim to be Swiss -- "manufactured a hemisphere away" is hardly impenetrable.
And, I love their exclusivity: in the last eighteen years they claim to have manufactured fifteen million pieces. That's almost as ubiquitous as Rolex.
That's a whole lot of crap, considering I've never seen one on a single wrist other than my own (yeah, I made that mistake once). That's also a lot of landfill; those things disintegrate as they sit in their boxes waiting for sale.
