"Almost" 200 grams of gold. Sure.     Can you imagine, for a moment, the apoplectic outrage on the Right if Kamala Harris was hawking fake watches? Or silver coins? Or NFTs? Or Digital

Alas, the grift never ends. Never an ounce of shame.   People shouldn't be legally allowed to flog shlock like this when they think they are running for president.   Seems so desperat

What's seems to be the issue? 200 grams for an 18K gold watch on a solid 18K gold bracelet is definitely within the realm of possibility. I have stainless steel watches on a stainless steel bracelet weighing about 170 grams. 18K gold has a density of 15.4 grams  whole stainless steel has a density of 8 grams per cubic centimeter. 

 

Also, these watches have an original design, so how can they be fake? 

 

Finally, let's say the gold was fake, there's absolutely no way that wouldn't come out immediately!

Actually, if the casing was made out of tungsten, then gold - plated, it would be difficult to detect without either destroying the watch, or using some very expensive spectroscopic equipment.

I understand a few gold shops in Thailand have been stung with fake bullion.

 

Based on current gold prices, the profit on those $100K watches is at least $60 K. The diamonds are so small they are as common as dog droppings.

And its's also a fraud: 200 grams of 18k gold cost around $13,000. One hundred diamonds priced from $10 to $30 each, $2,000. The Olivier Mory Tourbillon movement $1,200-$1,800. Add $2,000 of other components and assembly (and I am generous), and you have a $18,000-$19,000 USD sold for $100,000.

No, it is not a fraud.  Selling an item with a mark up is perfectly normal, legal practice.

If Harris started a grifter watch business now and also a grifter Crypto business now, everyone would be saying that is insane and disqualifying and it would instantly ruin her chances to win. But yet the public and the press somehow accepts continued totaly INSANITY from Trump with new examples coming up daily. 

Explain.

Would they?  Explain how that is factual.

Bizarre that anyone would question that.

Did he claim that they are?

Expand  

Yes, he did. How may a Trump branded watch be anything else than "among the best in the world", albeit it is based on the cheapest tourbillon, Swiss assembled movement available in the marketplace?

 

Provided, of course, the ones delivered to the customers are not equipped with a Chinese movement (check the fine print: "The images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product"). Caveat emptor.

There's devices you can use to check and they'll tell you immediately whether it's solid gold, gold filled or gold plated. It's definitely a rip-off. Plus they're as fugly as the night is dark and you can get watches with a lot more complications for the same money, plus he's an idiot. I wouldn't even wear one of those to go take a dump in the woods.
