I agree, my interest in the Tag Link came from r11co's review rather than anyone else's. Pugwash and By-Tor do great reviews, but I tend to already have those watches so it doesn't impact on me as much. A few people who should get credit on being early adopters and getting people into other brands are people like sql_pl (who, in my opinion, was responsible for the popularity of the IWC GST Chrono and Ingeniuer) and to a lesser degree tonton2000 (got me interested in the Cartier Pasha Seatimer). There are other pictures that do well, V has some good stuff (and straps) with his PAMs, and don't forget ThomasNg for the Vacheron Constantin Overseas, AP Royal Oak Jumbo and watches of that ilk. Credit to cwai02 for great info on the Omega Planet Ocean too.
A lot of good people around
