AndyTravis Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Put his name on a tin of beans that guy. fair play to him - if do the same. If I’d achieved the same…which I haven’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 There's a fair bit of bling for your 500 quid if you're into that sort of thing. Proceeds to the Freddie charity trust, so fair play. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassfinger Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I eagerly await the Brian may official Y fronts. I've got a pointy stick on hand to keep the groupies at bay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassfinger Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Am I the only one that prostrates themselves before God as thanks that Brian May hasn't released his own signature range of wives? And the Brian May glute strengthener was an absolute waste of money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfoundfreedom Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I quite like that. It's gone one more zero than I'd pay for it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveXFR Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 If it was £500 cheaper I'd consider thinking about it and then I'd throw it in a drawer and never wear it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawbs664 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Am I the only one disappointed that this isn't a live feed of the Red Special to see what it gets up to next, akin to Springwatch? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 At least it goes higher than eleven. The charity thing is admirable of course but how long until I'm washing up with a B.M. Red Special J cloth? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Just had a look on the website and it's showing the wrong time and date; I'd prefer one that actually works for that sort of money. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The case design is like that of the Seiko he wore for years, and the dial design alludes to his famous guitar. Would you rather the dial looked like your BC profile pic?

police squad Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 this is the second edition watch. I've ordered one, I'm a bit of a Brian May fan and I regularly gig with a Red Special in my 80s duo. Interest free credit over 3 years, won't even notice the monthly payment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 It's odd with Queen, for a long time they seemed highly protective of their musical legacy, but the last few years they've been going the whole hog monetising the brand. While we're not talking Kiss levels of branding, it is quite shocking how they expanded things to include the musical, the movie, the various Brian May guitars and how their music is slowly creeping into a lot of advertising. Don't get me started on the almost weekly announcements by the Queen reissue programme. Cassettes anyone? I do feel all this seems to be driven by May; I'm sure Taylor and Deacon are fully on board. Incidentally, Brian May used to frequent the Half Moon in Windlesham for the odd lunch. My god-daughter Chloe served him a few times, explaining he'd have a baked potato with cheese and was not a big tipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
