commented on YouTubers watches? Worth the Punt?? ·

If you like the watches and the people in general, then yes. They don’t force us to buy the watch. They have given us ‘free’ entertainment/knowledge/content over the years after all. Some solely rely on YT as their main source of income, so why shouldn’t they collaborate/make/sell their own watch (or other wares)? We always have the unsubscribe button or can choose not to watch them if we don’t like it/them. It’s just another choice for us.

The funny/ironic part is; the ones that have ragged on brands/watches in the past are now (potentially) subjecting themselves to the same treatment

Any brand that doesn’t want to/cannot sell me a watch.

Fakes (not including homages).

There are always minor niggles but as long as the good outweighs the bad, I’m good

There might be a watch thing in Manchester around Nov time and I’ll be coming up for that

Thanks Rob - appreciate it. Hope you’re well and we’ll bump into each other soon!

commented on Major or Micro? ·

I like any brand that wants to sell me a watch I like. That’s most brands. I want all brands to do well (whether or not I’m their target customer or not). More brands means more choice for me. Just because a brand doesn’t make anything that I like today, doesn’t mean I won’t be a client/fan in the future.

I like micros because it’s exciting to see people starting out and building their brand. It’s interesting to see how they can engage and interact with customers/fans in a way some bigger brands don’t/can’t.

I like major brands because they have the experience in making nice watches. They have the added historical element which furthers my education.

I don’t think one is better than the other. If they make the effort to reach out and make appealing watches (to me, at least) then I’ll make the effort and take an interest

commented on NWA‼️Longines Spirit 37mm ·

Congratulations on your NWA! Looks great.
