Question about Nevill's watch

[G-Unit]

Well, I've always thought they were genuine anyway because Bamber  isn't someone who would be happy with a copy.

Sue Ford sold one for £150, which is less than £500 today.

How very gratifying!!! I bought mine, half price, from a jeweller who was closing down. It wasn't exactly peanuts, but neither was it squillions. The jeweller said it was an excellent choice because Seiko was a reputable and sought after brand. I thought he probably said that of all the watches he sold.

Oh yes, Seiko are exquisite watches.

My ex BIL owned two jewellery shops he’d inherited from his father, and by trade was a diamond cutter, so grew up in the jewellery business. He said Seiko watches were far superior to many of the known designer watches, but people pay for brand names. He also said the reason people aspired to brands like Rolex etc, was they cost a lot, while Seiko kept their price tags at a fair price.

Interestingly, Seiko have brought out a model that does indeed cost squillions, and everyone aspires to that one now...people are so easily seduced. Put a super high price tag on it and people will queue overnight for two weeks to buy one...

And? Who would pay £150 quid for a fake watch and how does that prove it's fake?

A genuine Cartier watch circa 1995 would have cost around £6,500 ....so for anyone to say it was sold for £150 is laughable.

If it wasn’t so tragic it would be laughable....

Who is this Aunt Agatha?

She doesn’t seem very well

Other than her claims of having once been a close friend to Jeremy, I have no idea where, or how, she fits into the story. I'd assumed her to have been a pre murders friend -how else could she have become the recipient of all those crime related artifacts and personal stuff belonging to Jeremy? It now looks as if she may only got to know him after his conviction.

They were once ‘very close’ according to a statement she made here http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,3851.msg358326.html#msg358326

“We were very close at the time - maybe he wanted to give me a piece of 'himself' to take home”

Aunt Agatha told me she suffered a great deal of abuse - however best she tells her own story

Sue Ford sold a Cartier watch given to her by Jeremy Bamber for £150 in the mid 1980's, according to Julie Mugford. Surely Julie didn't tell lies?

JM or Bamber ?

You're assuming Julie to have seen and handled said watch, possibly to have been with her when it was sold. Other than that, we really only have Suzette Ford's word for it.

There's also been talk of the police handing June's blood stained bible found at soc to the relatives which I've never understood? 

[Nicholas]

she only “met” him in 1993 after she’d sent him a letter and they began corresponding. It seems she began visiting him in prison

This is correct

Maybe Sue Ford lied?

Define ‘talk of’

[Aunt Agatha]

So it's not the murder weapon, if all of this is true.
The Seiko from yesterday? Looked pretty careworn for something that hadn't been used apparently.

Where did I state he hadn't worn the seiko.?

Please read my posts carefully. He used the watch in prison, I gave it to him.
