The Aviators Thread

Greetings all and hope everyone is in good health.
I’m hoping to start a thread here for aviation enthusiasts and pilots who also happen to be into watches (like me) 😀
A place to shoot the breeze on all things aviation related and to share stories and pics. To me, the world of aviation and watches have always been inextricably linked so I thought it fitting to create a thread which brings these two areas of interest together.

Fair or Foul? Instagram Watch Influencers

Fair or Foul?

There is an Instagram watch “influencer” and fellow Omegaforum member (no names) that gets free watches from Zodiac and others, posts a picture, then sells the watch to fund future purchases. Is this fair or foul?
