Watches from a marxist point of view

Kinda. Pleb tier is to think that is the best brand in the world. Then it comes the contrarian phase in which you think is overrated. Then it comes the patrichian elightment where you understand there is a reason behind sucess and fame. They are fucking good watches but they are popolar too. That's the problem. I own a lot of better brands but no way rolex is bad or pleb tier

Nope
Please report to your local Russian agent, turn in your Communist Card and pick up your copy of Atlas Shrugged and gulag ticket.

my dad have a lot of watches he bough in ebay for less than 2000 pesos argentinos (i think is like 150 dollars back then)
they work really good, i have one he gifted me and it just have a minute of delay per year
it also looks good and give bitches

Nope, sorry, you get the gulag.
A $15,000 watch. You should choke on it.

Wew, so much for the tolerant left

Get yourself a nice A.Lange & Söhne. Or Arnold & Sons, or any other ridiculous piece of jewellery.

TBH, I think watches are faggy, and an expensive watch is a waste of money, and I personally wouldn't trust someone with an expensive watch to be my comrade; but you know; 'There's no ethical consumption under capitalism' yadda yadda yadda.

bunch of fuckin cucks who can't tell time based on shadows ITT

Oh, piss off.
We all know what you mean, but don't act like it's not better buying from a friendly local co-op than a company that uses child slave labor to pick beans.

I own a zeitwerk and a lange 1.
I literally spend money only for watches. I don't even own a car.

You wouldn't trust che guevara, fidel castro or even the fucking dalai lama as your comrade?

Totally forgot to take off the shitposting flag

Obviously a 15k one isn't pleb tier, but it always gives me a minor kek when somebody with little money who dresses well to get laid shells out 1k on a Rolex.

Nigga you need to get some Jura Federation down your neck

why is his face so fucking retarded and why does he have absolutely no lower core in comparison to his back?

He said that abs are un-germanic.

...

No, fucking kill yourself.
You can buy a nice car with that.

How much fucking money do you have, user? I've been looking at a 200€ Seiko automatic and feeling kinda smug, kek.

no, i would not trust the dalai lama. are you retarded?

this is why i support economic planning tbqh

I wish I had a 15k watch so I could sell it and survive longer

why

Sell it and get a glorious Soviet watch.

Dude go with the seiko skx007. I'm doing pretty well with the money. I don't own anything except clothes, watches, dvd's, and a pc because I travel a lot. I don't have a stable home I change every month or so for work. So I basically can spend a lot of money in bullshit

I own a few Vostok vintage watches but I never wear them because some of them are pretty rare and I'm scared of ruining them

Aye, what of it?

It's better because it encourages different modes of production, but it's not like the friendly local co-op lives in a void. The guy who tills the soil with the tractor has to put gas in, for instance. It's not friendly local co-op gas.

also if you know what he means why did you anyways proceed to attack a strawman?

...

yeah, spooked theocrats aren't my comrades. strange, right?

steroids

It's better. But just like being kind to your fellow coworker is good to create a sense of community, it's not a revolutionary act.
And focusing on these stuff will make you a lifestylist.

Thanks for all the (You)s. Any faggot who owns an expensive watch will need to work extra hard to earn my trust, 2 of the guys you mentioned did, the other is still a faggot on my book. Don't get me wrong, I know on a rational level that you might be a cool guy, but my life experience tells me to beware those who show off expensive (and mostly useless) stuff.

user you are tearing me apart. Where are from? I don't show off it's just that I seriously feel guilty buying watches because of comrades that think i'm a porky scum who buys watches JUSTBECAUSEHECAN

it should be tbh

Third world spanish speaking country.

Come on man, just be kind to your fellow man and work towards socialism. Don't fall for the morality spook, communism should strive for everyone to share the luxuries, not to erradicate them.

actually i'd feel uncomfortable to have a 20k thing on my wrist as i'm walking around. i don't appreciate being mugged.

Marxist? If you really are one. A fucking idiot? Yes.

For those wondering about Che and Fidel's Rolexes, back then, the brand wasn't the ridiculous male jewelry it is today. All watches were mechanical and cost over a hundred dollars. Rolex was on the high end but you could still justify a functional value to it, kind of like Apple today. It was only after quartz/digital watches were invented that the swiss watch industry reinvented themselves as heavily marketed male jewelry, and raised the prices far beyond their original prices in the 50s and 60s.

...

Regardless of ideology, you're an idiot.

An old tactic to steal phones is to ask someone what time it is and hope they'll pull out their smartphone to check.

Pretty much this. Hobbies and collecting is nice, and I don't begrudge someone if their interest happens to be expensive, but shilling out that much money for a piece of fucking jewelry can't be justified by just saying it's an interest. It's pretty absurd to be against Capitalism while engaging in conspicuous consumption, which is a important feature of it.

lmao you sound worse than the executive fidget spinners guy

If Che and Fidel lived in luxury in real life I'm not defending them (my only knowledge comes from the Che movie) - I'm just saying that in their time wearing a Rolex wouldn't immediately raise eyebrows like it would now. I wear a $10 Casio watch IRL, definitely not defending OP.

I know, someone tried with me.

Can't steal my pocket watch though because nobody will buy it.
