Why I am over Flex Culture & my final thoughts on the Timepiece Gentleman disappearance, charity stunt & Anthony's apology. I feel like over the last few weeks there's been a real spirit in the air: That people are SICK OF FLEX CULTURE taking over our gorgeous hobby! We see it everywhere from the "hype inflation", to the adverts we see, and the content we see.
But I think I can say: I AM OFFICIALLY OVER IT! I'm over the exuberant displays of wealth and luxury, I'm over showing off 5 platinum Daytonas, and iced out Nautilus'. I'm just over it! And I want to get back to what this whole thing is about: the joy of collecting and sharing these amazing timepieces!
Now, I don't want to make it seem like if you have a platinum Daytona, you're the worst. Because you're not! Collect what you love! It's just the over flashy, the overtly trying to show off that I think watch fam is just OVER. It's played out. It's had it's time, now let's let it die.
I also don't want this to seem like I am having ANOTHER go at Timepiece Gentleman, because I am not! I really don't want it to seem like I am kicking them when they're down. I know Anthony has apologised, and people like Archie Luxury has forgiven them. (I personally am not there yet. Just too much damage done and actions speak so much louder than words! So waiting for the actions before I cast anything out there). I just think PTG is the perfect case study for this whole "Flex Culture". That's what they've built their whole brand around! And I think that's what has made this whole stunt so hard to stomach.
Anywho! Maybe you agree with me, maybe you disagree! That's ok! Thank you so much for watching this video. I'd love to know what you think down below! And let's keep loving watches!
