    The small print at the bottom of the page is quite something.

    Wow, these are some truly hideous watches. This has got to be a money laundering scheme or something. No one actually interested in watches would spend six figures on one of these.

      It’s not for people interested in watches. It’s for people interested in seeing a large economy having a figurehead who is a complete fucking waste of space.

      Gotta take the rubes for everything they’re worth. I wonder how many inheritances that fucking guy has sacked.

      Honestly, better than I was expecting. I was expecting gaudy gold, maybe with some (probably fake) diamonds. You know, Trump’s ugly style. These just look fairly plain and cheap. I agree it does look like money laundering because they’re far from nice, but they’re just not as ugly as I expected.

      This is probably the only watch douchier than a Hublot. Even Richard Mille can’t hope to match this.

    Since people keep commenting on how it looks. Here they are. That way you don’t have to give that cretin more clicks.

    the $500 ones have mineral glass crystals - sapphire coated.

    movement is not mentioned, just “Automatic Movement With Date Window”

    signature on the dial looks atrocious

    grifter trash

      Sapphire isn’t even that expensive anymore. So cheap. The “automatic movement” really gives it Wal-Mart vibes 🤣

        Even that sounds too expensive! Unless it’s like a three pack or something

      Unless he is destroying the watches and saying “oh look, I received these duffle bags of cash”.

      No, no, I think this is just blatant scamming.

        1. Trump gives Joe $1mil worth of Cocaine
        2. Trump manufacturers a watch at the cost of $10/each
        3. Joe buys 10 of these watches for $100k each

        That is how you money launder via purchases. It’s more common to use artwork but you get the gist.

        Foreign nationals are prohibited from donating to Trump’s campaign fund. There’s no rule against them buying a dozen overpriced watches, though. They may not even be upset that their order is never delivered.

      His hands aren’t even particularly small. But he’s an old, fat and decrepit man and he needs a very large and padded suit to give his body some sort of healthy appearance. His hands sticking out of that suit therefore look tiny.

      Seriously, look at the pictures of him golfing in his XXXL polo shirt. The guy is shaped like one of the McNuggets

        I was listening to some interviews with undecided voters.

        Several saying that Trump is a business genius and has what it takes to balance the budget and run the economy.

        These people are “low information voters” who saw a meme in tiktok once, so you can’t really blame them. Still, it’s weird that this impression has sick with him despite him being the worst economic manager in the history of forever.

    The old weirdo doesn’t have time for a second debate because he’s too busy playing golf and hawking overpriced collectables.

      Have you thought of selling it as a wood and leather watch- but with AI?

        it’s similar to this. got it from amazon back off one of their first prime day thingies, I’ve only had to change the battery twice in ten years so I like it. I like the minimalistic look tho

          I’m not much for watches and stuff. I have my phone, it does what I need and then some. But that is one nice looking watch.

          Simple but elegant.
