How about one from last month that went for almost $100k?

It's the knuckleheads who fell bass-ackwards into money who brag about how much money they wasted on some gaudy piece no one with money would be caught dead wearing or owning.

I didn’t say anything about bragging?

And likewise, most of the wealthy people i know are also the most thrifty people I know. But not all. And personally, I’ve never cared how people have made/got their money (within reason!) and i think people should enjoy what they have however they wish. It’s not for me to judge or care.

Still hopeful this bubble will burst one day, drive prices down, and begin the “I need to sell fast” ads. I would feel much better spending 60k on 3-4 pieces.

I have a number of different colored dials, hands, and bezels for my subs. I taught myself how to swap them out. Maybe I can throw a hulk together so I can know what a 100k watch feels like to wear.

Interesting. Well, here's my wish... I'm hopeful that one day that price-policing socialists — who clearly resent the free market setting an item's price — will calm down and deep-six the incessant complaining.
