Great collection!
I personally like to have balance in my collection, so if it were me, I’d go with a blue diver to add both a color and a complication you don’t have yet. A blue Pelagos or BB58 would be great choices!
I don’t think YouTubers and brands are conspiring to change tastes in order to sell more watches… I don’t think they need to. However, YouTubers gaining access to product to do an “honest review”, or to sell watches in their own shop, clearly influences the influencers. As long as they disclose what they are receiving, so we know what their incentives are, I’m fine with it. If we are so easily swayed that we can’t factor that into our own judgments and preferences, that’s on us.
