Well like it or not. It's the truth about rappers and bling. They don't care about mechanics but more about status. Y'all need to do some research on who y'all talking about...

Oh look, what is he wearing here ?

Yeah, you can't dismiss all rappers or any group as being certainly ignorant, example is Scott Disick, one of the most useless individuals on reality TV, and that's saying something! but he had a great collection of HH watches that he knew a fair bit about and modelled really well for me and others here to see.

Thank you for your constructive comment. Of course, there are always exceptions. But generally speaking...I don't know. Besides, I've been here for not even a weak and noticed many many trolls on this forum. Mods should do something about this.

I’ll see your comment and butterfly effect video link and raise you wit the “stop trying to be God” video. Leave the judgement to God. I always read threads like this because they always tend to go to the same place.

That said, we would all be kidding if we didn’t understand that guys point. Rappers and bling are like peas and carrots lol

Really? Rapper wears Calatrava? I’m not surprised at all. I did not know rappers were limited to the Nautilus, RO, Hublot or RM. Seems like a gross over generalisation.

Honestly, this coded racism is disgusting and you would be better served spending your time educating yourself on your prejudices than worrying about what people more talented and successful than you have on their wrists or their reasons for wearing what they do.

What ?
I'm just telling facts.
Why would you turn that into racism.
I don't speak codes.
I tell it like it is.
Don't worry about me.
I'm good lol.

Are there no mods here ?
Is it normal that I'm getting insulted and being accused of being a racist here ?
