Cool video....I have never been a fan of this reference either so I can relate to her opinion

THIS is the takeaway here. Everybody here is a Rolex fanboy, or at least a watch lover. It's easy to get caught up in this environment, where one guy knows more about watches than the next guy, and even the noobs are WIS-in-training. We lose sight of the fact that WE'RE the exceptions. Most of the world has no clue about fine watches, and no desire to get a clue. They say, "Meh" when shown a nice watch. The girl doing the unboxing has some watch knowledge - more than the average citizen - but she's not like us. She represents the general public, something it would behoove us to remember.

Loved it!!! She's a keeper... Totally hilarious...
I agree with her on this particular reference.
I've never been a fan of the Explorer 2...
At least she said the Pepsi was better...

If I would've sold off a few pieces this isn't the
model I'd spend $5500 on.... FWIW
I agree with her , time to return it or auction it off...

I like this review for many reasons. The big one was that she is a pretty girl but that was not the focus of the vid; it was a no BS what does she think of the watch...I like the honesty, she was straight up savage

I find that many ladies that are not into watchs are not that impressed by the steel sports line but do recognize the brand name.

Turn her loose on some vintage Rolex and Tudors...I bet her "meh" or "damn that looks busted" response would cause the price to drop across the board!

10 out of 10, would watch again.

Very nice change of pace from most unboxings and I really couldn't argue with her points on the explorer 2. Old Pepsi and Speedy ftw!

One of the better watch reviews I’ve seen. Would love her to review my collection and hear her honest opinion. Haha

Laughed quite a bit! She should do more watch reviews.....we could get a real-world/non-wis perspective. Loved it!

I chuckled out loud with that comeback as well .... she has a quick wit and is as honest as she could be, zero punches pulled.

I'd definately watch her unboxing and reviewing watches again, very entertaining and refreshing.

Very funny. She is probably more representative of the average person than the WIS.

Same thing, I guess, but I take it she didn’t like the Pepsi much.

LOL, I wonder if her review of his first 'unboxer-ing' was as vicious. :)

Loved her responses, "it's going back." "Spelunking?" I made it halfway through. Pretty comical.

No she clarified that the Pepsi was better.

Thanks for sharing that was very funny and interesting at the same time.
I also figured that a lot of girls don't like the Explorer or the Pepsi... When I tried the new Pepsi my wife said that the pink looks female and that I'm only allowed to buy it when she is allowed to decide what our next car will be.... Obviously I passed on the Pepsi lol
