These guys apparently have a gift for marketing, and obviously have their fingers on the pulse of the watch collecting community. I'm seriously considering investing in their next venture, which, as I understand it, will be a string of bar/restaurants called Super Spreader Cafe.

I am convinced the vast majority of people flexing with watches online are wearing fakes.
EDIT: I'm not talking about Gringa. She's awesome. I mean the kinda people she is talking about.
You mean the type of people that charter a boat, don't pay for it, then get all agro at the captain when he asks for payment before pushing off?
Oh totally, or should I say, totes?
In 200 years time people will be referring to the deep and insightful wisdom of Gringa in the same breath as they do Wittgenstein, Sartre, Mill, Marx and Locke.
You know the hilarious thing with all this YT stuff is that all these guys want to brag and say I paid $50,000 for this Rolex or I paid $700,000 for this RM. But then if you actually go to a meet up of watch collectors, nobody brags about paying a lot for watches because being gullible and careless with money isn’t respected. So instead legit watch collectors brag to you like “See this Seamaster? I paid $60 and 2 turnips for it” or “See this Rolex Submariner, I got it 20% under MSRP back in 2011”. That’s literally what watch collectors tend to actually be happy and proud of, the great deal they got or how little they paid since that’s what takes actual skill and ability.
I think all these YouTubers/Instagram personalities/Influencers are part of the problem. Big egoes who feel the need to promote themselves.
Luckily, most of them seem to be focussed on modern watches.
I’m not sure they’re focused on watches at all… the thing they seem most interested in is themselves… and I suspect that if they could get likes/follows/sponsorships for talking about butt plugs they would.
Exactly.
I worked in the automobile industry some time ago when I was a big car enthusiast. I quickly realised that most people who worked in the business could just as well be selling white goods. No love there at all.
