I am looking to review some Rolex Watches other than my family owns (Older Yacht-Master, Two Tone Subs etc)

and I recently saw a video review online and the guy said he got it (for two weeks and then will ship it back) from Bobswatches. I've seen more negative feedback then good about them on these forums so I'm a little on the fence about some things. If I was to ask them for a review unit (and they agreed to ship me one) they would most likely want to be mentioned in the online video review and I dont know if that would be a good idea leading people to that site? (they are RIP offs...? that's what some people claimed but I'm not sure if that was buying or selling to them or both)

Or if not them, do you guys have any suggestions where to get a review unit? (for 7 to 14 days)

I know this is probably the craziest question ever these forums have ever received but I have to ask it.

Looking to review something other than mentioned above

(from the south fl area if that matters)


EDIT: before anyone says it I'll say it, yes I know buying a watch to review would be the best thing do but unfortunately I don't have the money right now to buy a ton of watches (wish I did tho [emoji23])
It is definitely possible a store might send you watches to review and return in exchange for mentioning them. You are asking how to become a social media influencer.

I mean no offence when I say this but having looked at your youtube channel, you only have 83 subscribers. That falls way short of what a company is going to want to see before they would think of getting involved with sending you watches. Realistically you are going to have to have over 50,000 subscribers + followers on social media (and that is a very generous minimum I have seen for far cheaper products so for luxury watches you could easily need over 100k)

You have to ask yourself why does a business use influencers? Are you meeting their need? They are not going to do this as a favour to you, they will expect results. No results, no free watches to play with for a week.

Hope this helps.
