   Idk I think he said 6K or was looking for one in that price range. He was obsessed with watches and perfumes.

   How often you need a compass on an average day?
   
   And before you ask I regularly look at a watch for the time. Either because I'm not carrying a phone or even if I am I think it's easier... or maybe that's just because I've gotten used to it.
   
   And skeleton watches look cool. OP has fairly impressive legs. No Lindsey.

   Now I remember he was looking for the perfect perfume to overwhelm people in a bad way, wanted them to choke on it.

   That's fucking stupid. It only makes sense if you're just so rich you couldn't think of anything else to spend $6000 on. And if you're that rich you should be shot and have your watch stolen but I think they have serial numbers on them anyway. So it's fucking stupid either way.
   
   Are fancy watches like that autowinding or what?

   Of course a real man doesn't need a compass he just looks at the position of the sun or stars.

   It could be useful for a couple of things but only a fucktard would be walking around with a compass on their wrist as a fashion accessory. I wouldn't imagine they would even work well with steel in a watch.

    I think they sell WiFi jammers that look like that. Idk how well they work but it would probably be more useful than a watch these days.

    It is frankly a bad decision no matter how much money you have. But you are learning how different people have different relationships with money. For many people the whole point is to subsidize their bad decisions. Like they genuinely don't understand what the point of having money even is if you don't spend it pointlessly i.e. "have fun with it".

    Come to think of it aren't new IPhone models like $5000? That would be even dumber than buying a Rolex and a lot more people do it.

    I think it makes sense to have one if you have to go to events with rich people. It's better to be over-dressed than underdressed. That's if you can afford it though. It's embarrassing to dress above your station in life.

    I think a lot of people buy things they can't afford because they think it will make them feel free but it doesn't, saving the money is what makes you financially free.

    Wearing a dinky little $6K Cartier Santos is probably more embarrassing than a $300 Orient.
    
    I remember one time I saw a guy with the cheapest $12k Patek Philippe, it told me he couldn't really afford that watch when he got it.

    I spend a lot on skincare and don't regret it because your face is the most important thing in society and it's working for me. Myers told me I look 20 and I got asked for I.D buying Monster today. No one will ever love me if I'm not pretty.

    iPhone 15 Pro Max starts at $1200. But it is a bad comparison.
    
    Relatively speaking, you can get like 10 years of software support and a really functional device.
    
    You can probably resell most 4-digit+ watches at least for around what you got them for but as a legit store of value or investment, they are very stupid and should be considered more like baseball cards.
    
    Even if you have $1 billion then still no, objectively it's still not a good idea to have $40,000 of it tied up in some random baseball card rather than as cash in a savings account or something... No it's not going to affect you at all at that point but doesn't mean it's not stupid.
