He puts a lot of pressure on himself lately to be a entertainer, lifestyle guru and fashonista. Sure he will be back soon. His instagram is busy enough.

I have followed him since before he had 100 subs, there have been a good few hints dropped in the past for the observant. It aint covid the lucky bastard was having a meal in a restaurant last night.

New Timeless video in partnership with the micro brand Zero West. Hawker Hurricane related. It contains one major historical howler.
(2) NEW RELEASE!! - Zero West H1-P3708 - YouTube
A very nicely done vid, but not a lot of watch content.
Must say I wasn't terribly impressed by it. The history bit was undermined by the obvious shallowness of his knowledge about WW2. Looked to me like he had read the publicity pack given to him by Zero West regarding the pilot and his Hurricane and then the rest came from movies he's seen.
Judging by the comments section, however, I'm definitely in a minority, lots of gushing praise.
Yes the watch bit was more a presentation than a true review. Not to my taste, reminds me too much of those commemorative products companies try to flog every time there's an anniversary of some Anglo or American victory. They love to milk the WW2 nostalgia market.
Oisin better up his game quick or I will be cancelling my patronage.
I much prefer his stuff when he doesnt try so hard. This one was very TGV like. He has been doing a lot of livestreams lately and you get a much better insight into his personality. I am finding him best in smaller doses. Would love him to do an actual SOTC.
He has started the playing the game a little recently with the live streams. Appearing on some very small channels. To get big subs he needs to change his style a little which is sad. Too niche otherwise. Nico with 400k and it’s all crap.
i enjoy most of his videos but this style one bores me a little along with his story time ones. I like his travel and drinking ones and some of his shooting the breeze ones.
I will also cut his salary if he don’t up his game.
That vid had me almost buying the watch, but my German ancestors stopped me. How much is the watch does anyone know?
The fact we don't know offhand says much about his video Blue... I agree with CT above, his "history" on this and the previous Spitfire watch was piss poor and more about ad copy and thumbnail sketches of history, with extra bombast. Then again reality doesn't sell so well. Should go over well with the "Murican market and Youtube Kidz(tm) who naturally are rarely that interested.
"Not to my taste, reminds me too much of those commemorative products companies try to flog every time there's an anniversary of some Anglo or American victory. They love to milk the WW2 nostalgia market."
Yup. More than a sniff of this going one alright.
That said the actual Franklin Mint made squillions from barely disguised tat, so there's that. The interwebs just adds some extra gloss at times.
Three grand sterling according to their website.

It's a bit too 'saving private Ryan' alright, will stick to the Damasko for now. It's always the winners who get to write the history books. Hopefully Oisin can give us a bit of balance in a future video. I'm no history buff, but even I had a doubt about some of the facts too.
Prices of the Zero West watches are insane. I'm a right to suspect that these watch channels get financial rewards for promoting the likes of these?
