    People who like to be flashy with their money do buy expensive watches, but I only see them in the hundred TO thousand range. Anyone flashing a hundred-thousand dollar watch is out of their mind complaining about fuel prices.

    The rest of the meme tracks in suburban Kentucky.

      $100-1000 watches are not being flashy with their money. Almost everyone I see with a watch has a watch in that range. Flashy watches are usually 2K absolute minimum. Apple watches are like 300-700 and they’re everywhere.

      I had a friend who was REALLY into watches. He had a 7K watch he loved to show off, and he would research watches literally every day and knew tons about them. Walking around with him was wild because we would walk by some random dude in a tshirt and he would suddenly lean over and whisper “he’s wearing a Goobly-Gluk Goober FX367, that’s a 25K watch!”

      Really expensive watches often don’t look it. Look up a Patek Phillipe Nautilus. 1.5M. Looks (to me) like a casio or something.

      I don’t care about watches at all.

      In my mind, the $100k watch sterotype fits more with one of those pimped out Hummers than a $70k pickup truck.

      I doubt those guys complain about fuel prices either.
