I wouldn't call them a waste at all. But they are sold to marks. There's levels. Most people who buy them can "afford them" yes but the people who are selling them are the real winners in all this.

There's a reason why dudes like Meek are online complaining about record labels while Bernard Arnault is worth over $150 billion dollars.

Floyd wears his a lot. Just say u don’t like Jacob timepieces I don’t

Or we can just admit that they ain’t hot no more and that nobody (except for Mayweather) wears them. It was a trendy watch, not a classic design. And I’m taking about the one watch, not the entire brand, just to be clear.

You seem like u want to argue just to argue rn I’m not disagreeing w the notion of not liking Jacob’s pieces and if you’re just arguing one fukking design of a whole watch house is even more asinine. Some people might just fukk with Jacob for the history he went to prison for not being a rat that’s commendable for some people still. I’m p sure I can find more examples of people wearing his current watch actually Travis Scott has a $1M piece from him as well and if I can’t find anymore which isn’t hard to find that’s still over $12Ms off those two pieces alone. But now you’re backtracking and only speaking about I’m assuming the timepiece he made that has the globe inside the dial, like cmon that’s like me saying the Cellini is outdated no fukking shyt.

Richard Mille cost a lambo
Known to keep the baddest bytches on commando :salute:


Even if I could afford one, I wouldn't walk around with a lambo on my wrist. It's too easy to lose it and I think they look hideous :pachaha:

I 100% agree :manny:

they're this generation's version of the 2000s jacob watches, which is ironic since Post-prison Jacob watches are actually incredibly interesting an unique.

if you're going to get a ridiculous watch at least make it interesting. Milles are just loud.

Personally, I'm not even a watch guy, I'm a glasses guy, but favor traditional watches like the Rolex Daytona, Cartier Santos or Diablo, or Breitling Navitimer

I posted a bussdown before and nikkas just swore it was fake lol. I don’t think yall know too much about watches. I’ve never been into watches that much myself though and don’t like Richard Milles either.
Alot of bussdowns are fake in a sense. Most have parts replaced with aftermarket parts like the bracelet, the bezel, the dial, even the case. Only original part left is the movement and these jewelers have been known to put movements from cheaper/smaller or ladies watches to further stretch their profit margins. If you do find the better made bustdowns you're still drilling aftermarket diamonds in a perfectly good watch and ruining the value.

Other then prestige that come with them.:pachaha:

Watches make absolutely no logical sense, since the cell phone :pachaha:

It's one thing for actual wealthy and rich folks, also Scammers to waste their money on these kinda trinkets. But if you're not in those 2 brackets. Fukk are you doing in these days to waste a single cent on something that is truly useless?
On average, a watch store can expect a profit margin of 20% to 50%. Type of watches: The profit margins for luxury watches are significantly higher compared to regular watches. Luxury watches can have profit margins of 60% or more, while basic watches may have profit margins of 10% to 20%.

Luxury brand = higher profit. A high-end Rolex or Cartier is near $8000. Flip that, you can double your profit selling at a higher price. Supply and Demand will never go out of style

It defeats the main purpose of wearing a watch because it looks difficult to even tell what time it is just based on those photos.

Me personally, if I had the money (which I will in a year or so), I'd rather cop an Omega Planet Ocean with a NATO strap or a Grand Seiko Spring Drive.
I wound up getting a couple Tudor watches.

Got a Black Bay 58 for a few racks and a 1926 for 2.

Edit: crazy because I still want those same watches from last year:russ:
