Temu quality, Rolex prices. Sounds like a Trump enterprise to me.
Temu quality if they ever even ship, which doesn't seem to be the case
Not super important but just to say, Rolex is far more expensive than these. The most expensive option for the Trump watch is still cheaper than the cheapest model of Rolex. And that’s assuming you can even buy it at retail value, which is impossible in most places. Most jewelry stores won’t sell you a Rolex unless you have purchase history with them, and as such used prices are often way higher than brand new.
Vintage is a different story, some cheaper vintage Rolexes can go for under 5k (and some rare ones can be exponentially more expensive too), but if we’re talking new, they’re all more expensive than these Trump watches.
There's a Trump tourbillon version going for 100k. Sold out btw
I mean, at least it has an expensive complication that somewhat justifies its price? Not that a tourbillon is worth 100k but it is still a very expensive complication. I wouldn’t put it past these guys to sell a quartz watch for 100k.
Fair enough, for sure a tourbillon watch will be more expensive, but 100k? I'm not into watches that much, how much is a good tourbillon these days? Not that this could ever be good, in fact I bet it doesn't even exist irl.
You can get a used Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Tourbillon for around 30k at the low end I think. Not saying JLC is the cheapest on the market (it’s definitely not) but they’re excellent watches without being too bloated in price for what you get. I’m sure brand new is a bit more expensive but if you can get a JLC for a third of the price, that’s saying something.
