   My coworkers and my boss think my fake Rolex is real. Is this imposter syndrome?

     @caekislove I turned a coworker on to it when he was whining about wanting one. Set him up with the high-end, $500 replicas and he’s been happy.

     Nobody really thinks a rolex is real, anyway. Unless you buy it from an AD, I’m assuming you’re too inept to know whether or not it’s a fake. By now, they’ve gotten to the point where a truly good one needs you to take off the back and check out the movement to see whether or not the lettering is correct. It’s extremely easy to pass off a ‘replica’ to a jewler or used shop if they’re not familiar with how good they’ve gotten, particularly when you even have a fake box, labels, stickers, etc.

     Besides, when I do wear a fake I tell people about it. I’ve had less problems with those than I have the real ones, I feel like a fool dropping that kind of money now. If omega didn’t want $1200 to repair the gasket on my seamaster, maybe I’d feel diff, but all I get now is a sense of being conned when I look at a $3k+ price tag for brand-name boomer bait

     Then again I just wear them for me, I don’t really care about what other people think about my watch choices. If you want a rolex for style, then having a gen is a huge, huge deal to fellow nigbrains

     @caekislove I know it pisses some people off but these companies are out of their minds. In their pasts, they offered a solid, high quality product for a somewhat premium price. Rolexes used to be just barely affordable for GIs willing to splurge, something that was simultaneously fully functional, reliable, and aspirational. Now? Submariners start at a list price of $10k, but good luck getting one without buying a handful of unpopular models so you can jump ahead in the waitlist and pay another $8,000 over sticker.

     Who stumps for these faggots at this point? They’re just raking in boomerbux like there’s no tomorrow, abandoning real humans who actually used their products as trustworthy heirlooms and companions. In 1984 you could get a Sub for $1400, or more than 2x that in today’s funny money. How the hell did they get here?

     Imagine if Carhartt pants cost $3,800 in 50 years

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @caekislove Could've used that money to buy guns and ammo instead of fancy conversation pieces you wear on your wrist

     @LordMordred @caekislove Come on. You really think that’s a problem?

     @Paultron @LordMordred @caekislove why would you bury it on your own land?

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @caekislove Don't worry, they will. And Darwinism will do its thing once the last of the Boomers run out of their daily regiment of adrenochrome, cocaine, and spite to survive.
     
     This is why I'm glad the younger generations' cheapness is killing off all the boomer commodities while the Boomers are still alive.
     
     It's one of the few "fuck yous" we get to lob at them before their final trip to Margaritaville where they get to rot away on the sofa while watching sitcom reruns and remembering the good old days.
     
     And their complaints are tasty to the eyes and ears.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @caekislove A Casio or a Timex tells the same time as a Rolex
     
     A cheap ass Ugly Stik rod catches the same amount of fish as an Abu Garcia rod does
     
     You see what I'm getting at here?

     @EssentialUtinsil @WashedOutGundamPilot Better than Dockers which are now as thin as pantyhose and have a plastic button guaranteed to break within a month of purchase!

     @caekislove @WashedOutGundamPilot I have a bunch of $5/pair lee and wrangler jeans I got on clearance years ago and they hold up 10x better than the last couple pairs of Carhartts I bought.

     @EssentialUtinsil @caekislove @WashedOutGundamPilot Carhartt has gone to absolute shit, I think they changed ownership and started focusing on the chink crap they sell at Walmart. Single stitched cotton hoodies, beanies and the like. Those old softshell jackets and such have no modern equal at the company that made them. Example #852 of a once decent brand whored out for a couple bucks

     @Paultron @WashedOutGundamPilot @caekislove Yeah my carhartt jacket is solid, had it for I think 5 years now and it's still good as new. Most of their clothing is just garbage now, and yeah, it was after they changed ownership or something like that. I wonder (((who))) took over.
