I never cease to be amazed at the sort of marketing that appears to work.
But then, I’m probably not their target customer.
The way I see it…I dont spend my money on that kind of thing, but if it serves to pump money and good image into GA, I am glad.
I do not support Red Bull products, but I like the fact that so much of that money is used to promote GA activities that the public appreciates.
Likewise with people spending their spare money on watches that support GA…
While few uninvolved people would directly provide monetary support for GA activities I guess quite a few more people are happy to spend a lot of money on watches , part of which is later used to support GA activities.
I don’t see whats wrong with that.
MArketing hype? Thats in big part what a free economy is about, as long as it is not deceiving (ie it is still a very good watch), I dont see anything wrong with it. Even if all that money only served for the owner to spend it on a Ferrari or his new airplane toy, I still support it: that money goes on to support a lot of families that work to build those toys, so much more than if it is spent on speculative business.

Good way of looking at it.
