people rationalize not having stuff like this pretty often
sure, a 10k$ car is going to get you to the same places as a 50k$ car, and you can also take public transportation .. that doesn't change the fact that having the 50k$ car is the nicest option out of those
i don't need a picasso to impress people, but if I had one i certainly would be happy with it
money doesn't make people happy, but crying in a 5 star hotel is more comfortable then doing so in a trailer
mentioning your hot wife just makes it all the more lulzy

I guess you missed the part where I said I am a Gluttonous American that does enjoy nice things. I only mentioned sports cars as an example, some people get boners for sports cars, I am not one of them. Cars have never interested me in that way, but that does not mean I don't drive a nice vehicle. I have a 2016 GMC Sierra XLT. Is it nice, yes. Is it flashy, no. Could I afford another $200 per month to be driving a some sports car, yes. Do I want one, no.
Not everything expensive is desirable to everyone, like your Picasso comment I highly doubt I would want one even if I was a Billionaire.
I spend my money on things that make me happy, for example I just remodeled my kitchen. Some people on here might like it and some might think I am crazy to spend that kind of money. To each there own. The whole you don't like to spend money on what I like to spend money on means you must be poor is just a dumb argument and that is my overall point.
So what watch do you wear Punko?

Little batman action for the troll thread, really should've cleaned it up first.

I work in a secure building so no phones/fit bits/ etc. I bought a Tag in Qatar at the Tag flagship store during their Ramadan sale as a "I'm never coming back to this shithole" present to myself.
I really want an Omega constellation as my next watch.

I've owned a few nice watches over the years, but only wore them when I suited up. I have bitch sized wrists and sensitive bitch skin, so these days I can barely wear my Galaxy 3 Frontier for a few hours a day. A buddy of mine "invests" in them, owns a couple dozen ranging from $2k-10k, and they all hold or gain value interestingly enough. I collect thousands in comic books and action figures, but my real money goes into things that lose value over time while I get greater enjoyment out of them, like game systems and other electronics. And alcohol that I actually consume.

On the glass, fairly deep for scratches - toothpaste is good for the band scuffs etc. But I may try it just to reduce it.
I was thinking of trying that stuff in Facebook ads to "magically fix" broken cell screens...

Don’t really like the Patek aesthetic. I could get behind a Royal Oak though. They hold value decently enough?
How annoying are people when you wear your Rolex?

I wear a fitbit. My watches sit in a box on a counter
Most people around me wear rolexes so no one bats an eyelash and no one is annoying. I guess if you have to ask about that, you would feel weird wearing it to begin with and should spend money on something else.

Yeah I’m certainly not surrounded by people who would find wearing a Rolex normal. Hence me leaning toward brands with less recognition as luxury timepieces.
It’d definitely sit on my counter most days.

Yeah honestly I am not a big fan. Only time I wear any of the nice watches is when I go to specific parties which will be full of materialistic faggots. But thats me. Plenty of people enjoy nice watches.

Friend of mine got targeted by a con artist bitch because he was wearing a $20,000 watch while sitting at a hotel bar. Spiked his drink to rob him, but he fell over in his bar seat before she could. So there's that...
Looks good in a room full of business partners, though.
