Thanks for sharing - she's so excited!
Link below to the relevant part of the video.

What I never understand is why people share those moments all over social media, other than for the seeking of attention. Someone I know bought his daughter a Rolex for her 21st recently which obviously is great but felt the need to film the unboxing and share it on social media. He did the same when he bought his other daughter a Merc for her 18th recently. It was all about him being the big man and making sure people knew he’s done it.
100% attention seeking and very distasteful IMO.
I wonder if I should film my wife opening up her new Vostok on Xmas day? She actually wants an iPad but I reckon she'll be stoked anyway!
yes,that will be a much more colourful and entertaining video.Originally Posted by Lampoc
Everyone has their own level of what they're comfortable doing on social media, some people jealously protect their privacy, some actually make a living from posting stuff online.
Is it really worse than posting a Panerai or Rolex in the Friday thread?
Or even a dodgy Explorer?
Quite. Evidence suggests a dodgy PAM too, but I guess we'll never get a straight answer.
I agree, don't get it at all. I think you can kind of let them off in this instance slightly as watches are her job and she's a blogger but even so it surely would have been better as a private moment.
Yes, much. Can't compare the Friday thread or the forum in general to putting a Rolex up on FB etc. More than happy to share pics of watches here but wouldn't dream of it on social media.

Well there's 12 minutes of my life I won't get back.
She's a watch YouTuber. Her job is to react to watches and share the experiences with her audience.
There is zero showing off in this video, it's not even an expensive watch compared to much of what they show on that channel.
Agree 100% - rather sad attention seeking IMO.
Absolutely agree, it is just a bit of harmless advertising, nothing more and nothing less. If you don't like it, watch something else.
But still sad attention seeking?
Sorry for terming it ‘sad attention seeking’. My age is showing - I didn’t know what a YouTuber was but my daughter has explained it to me. Armed with this knowledge I think it is deliberate sad attention seeking.
I managed about one minute of that - there's a whole lot of World outside...

Touché!!
I like Jenni Elle's watch channel - she comes across as being very down to earth and knowledgeable without being cringey. She's not acting up for the camera in the vid - looks like genuine gobsmackedness and gratitude for the present.
What was the question again? Oh... yes I would. Definitely.
It’s all a bit nauseating though, isn’t it? Gaaaarrrggghhhh ....
I thought that was lovely, didn’t watch it all, just the unboxing, genuine delight.
Cheers..

Aye, feel same.

Hahaha so true...

If it is not put on, it is cute. Regardless of showing off or not, I find it gratifying to see someone’s happiness and joy.
She already has a Rolex as we see she is double wristing with a Rolex on one wrist and Apple Watch on another.
I really like her.
Well said. I hope my wife gets that genuinely happy this Christmas.
I bet she’s a screamer
This made me LOL
Surely she should be genuinely happy every day, without the cattle prod of a gaudy expensive gift to encourage her?
Mike, nice to meet you
Maybe that phrase means something different to what I'm familiar with, very happy to be enlightened if I'm off base!
I wish!Surely she should be genuinely happy every day, without the cattle prod of a gaudy expensive gift to encourage her?
I’m only 36 but I don’t get these kids and their social media obsession.
Good on her and congratulations on a new watch but the fact that she gives opinions on watches she borrows does not have to correlate with her husband making a rather vulgar and exhibitionist show of gifting. I’d rather that was kept private and she did a video later on what she liked and didn’t like about the watch.
Still, it’s not for me and I don’t have to watch it. More power to those who are into it, hope they got some enjoyment out of it.
Some are into it and enjoyed the video. Why would you prefer that it was kept private - given as you said, you ‘don’t have to watch it’. It seems a selfish attitude to suggest that only content you want to see should exist.
Odd question, the first paragraph was an expression of my personal opinion on the video. The second paragraph was a recognition that it was just that, a personal opinion and that others may disagree. I don’t think I said it shouldn’t exist, rather that I would prefer a balanced watch review. There are a lot of things I don’t enjoy and would rather were kept private, I’m not sure that means I’m selfish. Still, I respect your right to have your own opinion.
Glad that's sorted then...
Does it come in Navy?

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Yes but I'm sold out of XXL
That's OK, I'm sure some will surface on SC after Christmas.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I put a 1 word comment and there's been what feels like a dozen responses and now even a t-shirt. So yes... controversy!
Evidently people are touchy about the subject. Notice I haven't attempted to ostracise anyone, I pointed out a comment was inappropriate - that's all. While I agree it probably would be easier not to say anything, that doesn't mean it's not worth saying.
Never heard of Mary Whitehouse, but let's not rule it out

Actually like the video and more so the watch which has now given me an idea for a retirement present next year for my deserving wife. Wasn’t aware of this iteration of Rolex and as watch prices go I guess reasonable.
Hope there aren’t “lists” for these !?
I’ve not watched the unboxing vid, but I’ve seen some of her other vids and the interview the other day with Adrian from Bark&Jack, she’s really cool and likable. Social media & watches are how she makes money so I don’t have a problem with this - nobody is forced to watch it, good luck to her.
I don’t think it was inappropriate. Nothing derogatory was said about her. Just a bit of light hearted fun.

I was waiting for the washing machine repair man to turn up! 🤓🤣
Not bothered either way by this video, I didn’t particularly enjoy it but I wasn’t offended by it either.
That said, I think she’s really likeable and has good content on her channel usually. I hope she sticks around.

Well who knew this would prove to be so divisive. Personally, I found both the video & her to be 100% unaffected & adorable, and I think on balance the majority agrees. It's led me to watch her YouTube channel, which is also surprisingly good. There's a dearth of non-annoying watch YouTubers, so it's nice to see.
...all for the ‘likes’. Not sure it quite cuts “adorable”.
Did she say “Oh s***” just before she opened the green Rolex box?
