    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!

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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 thought that was lovely, didn’t watch it all, just the unboxing, genuine delight.
    Cheers..

    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.

    Agree 100% - rather sad attention seeking IMO.

    Given she handles these watches day in day out, by the looks of it already has a datejust on the wrist, the reaction did seem a little OTT! However, as Rajen says above if genuine, it is a nice moment.

    On the other hand, more interested to work out if I can pull off an Apple Watch on my second wrist!?

    yes,that will be a much more colourful and entertaining video.

    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.

    Absolutely agree, it is just a bit of harmless advertising, nothing more and nothing less. If you don't like it, watch something else.

    Reaction videos, showing off wealth on social media and so many more other influencing outlets is one of the main powers driving the Rolex RRP machine.

    All this type of content is creating a world where a lot of people feel they have to post 2/3 times a day to receive some kind of positive comment on their post, showing what they own or how they look, it becomes a drug of self obsession and many people are falling into debt just to keep up appearances.

    We go on about the Rolex bubble and when will it burst, but the only thing that will burst it would be a complete social media blackout..

    I said something similar to the wife after seeing the advert for the iPhone 12 on EE, the whole crux of the advert is to ‘be the envy of your friends’. I think that is a very shallow message.

    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.

    Or even a dodgy Explorer?

    Quite. Evidence suggests a dodgy PAM too, but I guess we'll never get a straight answer.

    I don’t think it was inappropriate. Nothing derogatory was said about her. Just a bit of light hearted fun.

    Surely she should be genuinely happy every day, without the cattle prod of a gaudy expensive gift to encourage her?

    Maybe that phrase means something different to what I'm familiar with, very happy to be enlightened if I'm off base!

    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.

    You realise it's her job right (or one of them anyway)? She probably makes better money on YouTube that most of us do

    Is that a pure guess or do you have some expertise in that area you can share? At 1.1k subscribers and average daily views around 5,000 I'd be surprised if she was making enough from YT to pay the groceries just yet, but happy to be corrected.
