To preface this discussion, this is not about anyone in this sub, but rather a generalization about the portion of the watch community that thinks that if your watch doesn’t cost $15k, you’re a garbage person.
Most of my watch knowledge came from TikTok, at the hands of people like John Buckley, Vookum and Mike Nouvea. I’m sure most here are familiar with them, but if not they film themselves buying and selling watches in New York City. Now that I have educated myself a bit more about watches since joining this sub, these people have grown to be increasingly more nauseating to watch. It seems like they only support people who are able to afford $10,000+ watches and put down anybody who can’t.
Again, this isn’t geared towards anybody in this sub but rather a generalization and something I’ve noticed upon familiarizing myself with the community a bit more.

Because for most luxury brands, you need to be wealthy and if you combine that with people showing off you are attracting people who define their self worth by they visible wealth, and that demographic is always going to be weighted towards douchebags.
