A few reasons to that. It’s going to generate more content and clicks by dragging this shit out long term, so for the YouTubers or content creators who make their living off of making watch content, the longer they talk about this by slowly releasing the info the better.
Also, the watch industry is fucking weird, with most brands and individuals being oddly shuttered and extremely secretive, so the people who know this info probably do not want to directly come out and say what they heard, in fear of their identity being outed and being blacklisted in the industry. Not even exaggerating saying this but FPJ in particular will literally blacklist customers for selling their watches. They expect them to buy and keep forever, and if you ever sell, ESPECIALLY if it’s a limited production piece, you will never buy from them again.
They likely just don't know the details. It's all second- or third-hand rumour to them too.
