And you make an excellent point. Am a journalist so i very much am aware of such things, that yes do happen with YouTubers, influencers, etc.
Disclosure: Have no financial interest any timepiece company
Am not paid by / no 'favorable' discounts
Heck, it's been a years since the last time ANY discount was provided, and for full disclosure that was in February 2000 with a Tag Heuer Monaco GULF edition, though we paid full price for the wife's Cartier Tank XL purchased at the same time.
No 'unethical' freebies. Ok, get a Panerai you sometimes get a nice hat, maybe on the second Panerai purchase (no discount) a nice vest (i gave to my wife's daughter, she loves it!).
No conflicts with brands mentioned other than yes, i happen to have purchased their products because am very passionate and it's great to see companies i feel are 'doing the right thing' doing the right thing. Still, you do make a good point and understood. A most humble thanks for allowing me the opportunity to post if there are any conflicts, as there are influencers/YouTube folks who do paid promotions yet do not disclose it to their audience. Imho that is not ethical.
Again, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to clearly state my position... and deep passion for the art and science of horology.
