What do you think the watch enthusiasts who bought this thought when gen 2 came out the next year?

they don't exist

cool I'll buy a broken one for $10 bucks and convert it into a retro emulation machine

They're worth nowhere near the original 17K, but you need to consider that the gold itself is worth at least 3K

>>105822310 (OP)
I don't think anyone willing to drop $17k on a watch feels anything but excitement to consume the next product.

>>105822785
Well, ok, but what if I was paid in gold Apple watches for a minimum wage job in 1971? How many gold Apple Watches would I get paid today?

>>105822785
lmao there's a few mgs in there tops, no where close to a full oz of gold

>>105822310 (OP)
people pointed this out at the time so nobody can say they didn't know
I remember when it came out everyone who wasn't a retard was saying that unlike a real watch it would eventually be e-waste regardless of how well you took care of it

the sort of people who bought it probably see that as a bonus though, it's even better for wealth signalling. "I'm so rich I can flush $17k down the toilet to buy a piece of garbage and not care"

People who paid 17k for this shit probably aren't stressing about money

One oz of gold costs like $3500. No way in hell Apple is going to sacrifice profit margin for that.
At best, they use gold plating on top of steel.

Surely the only people who bought those were a saudi prince or the son of an arab oil sheik or something

Anyone who bought the gold Apple Watch probably didn't have to look over their finances to see if they could afford it. And they probably already own a number of other watches that cost way more.

>they probably already own a number of other watches that cost way more
absolutely not, the overlap between real watch people and gold apple watch buyers is almost zero. the latter are rich, yes, but they have zero taste.

>>105823557
They also look at $17,000 the same way you look at $170, if not $17.

>>105823606
yes, I agreed that they are rich so I'm not sure why you felt the need to reiterate it. I am saying they have bad taste and I'm disputing that there is much overlap between them and people who buy nice analog watches.

There were literally people camping out in tents to buy the iPhone X.
People like this don't think long-term in terms of investments in products they buy.

What kind of preening faggot buys a watch in this day and age anyway?

>>105824650
With real watches they do.

>>105824678
The kind that won't accept the regression to pocket watches

Don't even look at the price tag they are whores for the rich. Hell there usually isn't a price tag at all in these stores.

Not relevant to my post.

Only brownoids and women bought it. They can't conceptualize the future.
