Watch for instance salesman needing support from Apple? (8)
I believe the answer is:
repeater
'watch for instance' is the definition.
'repeater' can be an answer for 'watch' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'for instance' bit.
'salesman needing support from apple?' is the wordplay.
'salesman' becomes 'rep' (sales representative).
'needing' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'support from apple?' becomes 'eater' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rep'+'eater'='REPEATER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repeater that I've seen before include "Gun firing several shots" , "Amplifier in phone line" , "Timepiece that strikes the hours" , "Handgun able to fire again without reloading" , "One keeps saying" .)
