Why do retards spend 5 and 6 figs on a watch when you can just see the time on your mobile phone?

It's how you communicate to other rich people that you are rich

[Anonymous No.53607478]

They're desperate to not appear like the poors they are. You can call it 'status' - but high-end designer products are designed with massive logos and a bunch of branding specifically marketing to the demographic of poors that want to appear rich. This is why every mall is full of specifically LV handbags

>the irony is the actual wealthy don't do this

It’s been a status symbol for the past 80-90 years or so. I’m sure 130 years ago there were a lot of expensive, custom walking sticks dudes had made as fashion accessories- only for their children/grandchildren to sell them when it went out of style. I predict a lot of expensive watches will go the same way-sold and melted down.

it's just jewelry. if I had tons of money, I think a gold watch with some rubies in it would be tight

Why not get a status symbol that's actually useful tho? Like a nice narco inspired gold plated gun or a good nigger beater like pic rel? With all your wealth you're not scared to beat niggers like some governable wagecuck, right?

When you walk outside and see a penny, why don't you pick it up?
You see, to me a 5-figure watch is so close to a penny on the ground that I don't even think twice before putting it on if I look even just 1% better doing so.

You can't take those things everywhere or show them off freely. The market for resale is less liquid. Most people aren't autistic.

As far as material possessions go, I think men generally go in one of three directions when dreaming about getting rich

>fast car
Loud, flashy and ostentatious, the quintessential "look at me" purchase. Lets random people who you will never meet know that you have a lot of money. The restaurant valet will love you, but everyone else will be largely indifferent. Stroke your cock while taking off from red lights and passing grannies on the highway, but your german muscle will probably break down 200k miles sooner than if you had bought a Camry

>big house
Fairly self explanatory. Some men dream of falling in love and raising a family, others dream of living the epic bachelor party life. Probably a mixture of both. Neet autists probably just wanna be left alone. Keep in mind big houses come with big problems, maintenance is a bitch, HVAC is a nightmare, etc. Avoid cookie cutter McMansions

>watches
Basically just a personal reminder of your success and accomplishments. Almost nobody will notice the difference between a Rolex Submariner and a Mondia Madison, or any other of the million knock-off watches that look exactly the same as their luxury counterparts. People will automatically assume diamonds are rhinestones and solid gold is gold-plated, which makes you look infinitely more tacky than a more tasteful watch. Basically you are the only one who will ever know what's on your wrist. It's not about being flashy or gaining fake friends, it's the subtle mark of a distinguished gentleman who wants to remind himself of where he came from and where he got to, and hopefully will be passed down for generations to come. Avoid anything quartz, Seiko spring-drive being the only possible exception. Avoid jewelry store chain brands like Movado, Victorinox, Citizen, etc.

My grandfather spent a shit ton of money on custom drapes and a grand piano. The coat of the drapes for his house was literally more than the house itself cost. Then drapes went out of fashion.

Something that is actually decently made can be a 'store' of value, hard assets you can resell later on. Obviously it doesn't work with american goyslop products but it's like buying a commemorative gold doubloon to celebrate your grandson's birth.

[Anonymous No.53609947]

>>53608518
poorfag, if you're wearing the watch you had no intention of keeping the value to resell.
