"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 Trading Cards? Or BitCoin?

He could sell to a certain politician here.

Seems so desperate.

Sneakers, now watches, what's next? Trump personally signed nukes (made of gold and sprinkled with diamonds)?

That politician only borrows watches from dead friends...

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.

But Trump is not "hawking" fake watches.

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.

Probably made in China.

Independently confirmed as being made in Switzerland.

Something tells me this isn't going to age well. Weren't they desperately removing Trump's name from buildings a while ago because it lowered the value (and tone🤣) ?

No, they weren't.

I can't imagine why anyone would think I have a degree in English.

What's wrong with wearing a Timex?

Nothing, but what's wrong with wearing a $499 Trump watch?  Cheaper than some Timex.

Inflation? If your presidential candidate is trying to sell you a $100,000 watch it means he don't give a fank about what you're paying for eggs.

He's trying to sell $499 watches also.

Obviously I can’t speak for the quality of the watches, but yeah, they’re definitely not the best watches in the world.

Did he claim that they are?

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. 

"If Harris started a grifter watch business now and also a grifter Crypto business now, everyone would be saying that is insane and disqualifying..."

Would they?  Explain how that is factual.

so why not pedal them a $5,000 watch for $100k? 

They're not "pedal"-powered, the watches he is peddling have manual wind movements.

Of course, he's shameless and desperate. He's trying to flog anything he can.

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.

No. He said one of the best, but the guy I was replying to said Trump said it and I was playing off that.
