Furious MAGA Customers Say They Got ‘Scammed’ by Trump Watches (www.thedailybeast.com)

Some MAGA supporters who paid for Donald Trump watches are seriously ticked off. The majority of reviews for GetTrumpWatches on Trustpilot give the company just one star, with some people complaining that it is a “scam.”

The timepieces are made by TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC and range from $499 to $2,999 per watch, or $5,389 for the “Ultra Mega Collector Set.” The president has been criticized for hawking them on cable TV as a government shutdown drags on over healthcare funding.

On Jan. 8 Lemme be Frank, from Switzerland—a country famed for its watches—wrote, “Absolutely horrible customer service. Do not buy any of these garbage products. Avoid like the plague!!”

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.
