Thanks for posting this - I thought I was going mad. I saw the ad the other night a couple of times. The first I was making tea and The GF wasn't paying attention and the second I was enjoying a scotch and reading a book. I'd more or less convinced myself I had imagined the whole thing.
Don't underestimate the Chinese. They have invented whole new ways of making things badly.
Got to note however all the watches are quartz. Most of the originals were mechanical / auto .
You can get vintage or we'll made mechanical copies of many of the watches for sub $100
