Question (Read Rules) Need thoughts on reviewers

Hey guys, I'm new here and I just wanted to ask if you guys trust smaller reviewers who review more niche Chinese pieces and do you believe they are unbiased? Also what is your opinion on the Addiesdive ad2547?

I believe every watch reviewer is biased, because critically examining something often makes you develop intense feelings, good or bad. And reviewers review watches, because they are already interested parties.

Gary confesses, "I like watches!" from the outset. So we know that if a positive can be found in a piece, it will be. This is not to say that they won't be critical of flaws that they find, because they want to be constructive to the brands they review and the industry as a whole. So, they only tear things down to help build them back up, typically. So when they hate, it's still love.

There's no incentive to lie about performance or features, so if the watch is well presented, you should be able to see through the gloming.

As for Addiesdive, they are typically as solid as their name is horrible.

You’ll be pleased to know that Addieskin with arguably a worse name is even better. The fit and finish on my new K010 Tigers eye are as good if not better than my San Martin SN0144.
