    Since people keep commenting on how it looks. Here they are. That way you don’t have to give that cretin more clicks.

      Dude if someone told me this was a modded Seiko 5 with a “tourbillion” movement in it I would 100% believe it.

      Unless he is destroying the watches and saying “oh look, I received these duffle bags of cash”.

      No, no, I think this is just blatant scamming.

        You don’t need to destroy the watch for it to be money laundering. If he receives cash for the watch, he can hide the exact amount by means of some Weisselberg-esque money tricks.

        But yeah, more than likely it’s his semi yearly trashy overpriced product drop.

    Wow, these are some truly hideous watches. This has got to be a money laundering scheme or something. No one actually interested in watches would spend six figures on one of these.

      It’s not for people interested in watches. It’s for people interested in seeing a large economy having a figurehead who is a complete fucking waste of space.

      Honestly, better than I was expecting. I was expecting gaudy gold, maybe with some (probably fake) diamonds. You know, Trump’s ugly style. These just look fairly plain and cheap. I agree it does look like money laundering because they’re far from nice, but they’re just not as ugly as I expected.

    the $500 ones have mineral glass crystals - sapphire coated.

    movement is not mentioned, just “Automatic Movement With Date Window”

    signature on the dial looks atrocious

    grifter trash

      So he’s not seen as the one to directly profit from it, but can still make a quick buck on the licensing and play dumb when the watches are worthless crap

        Fuck me, at this point I feel like it wouldn’t be too hard to just… create a website selling expensive ass Trump shit and in reality dropship it from Aliexpress

        I mean there’s probably a bunch of people doing it, but I wonder how hard it would be to do it without, y’know, any legal trouble.

    Why buy a Hublot when you can get in on Trump’s latest Aliexpress drop instead? It can even pass as a Rolex at 20 feet

      This is probably the only watch douchier than a Hublot. Even Richard Mille can’t hope to match this.

      His hands aren’t even particularly small. But he’s an old, fat and decrepit man and he needs a very large and padded suit to give his body some sort of healthy appearance. His hands sticking out of that suit therefore look tiny.

      Seriously, look at the pictures of him golfing in his XXXL polo shirt. The guy is shaped like one of the McNuggets

        I was listening to some interviews with undecided voters.

        Several saying that Trump is a business genius and has what it takes to balance the budget and run the economy.

        These people are “low information voters” who saw a meme in tiktok once, so you can’t really blame them. Still, it’s weird that this impression has sick with him despite him being the worst economic manager in the history of forever.

    The old weirdo doesn’t have time for a second debate because he’s too busy playing golf and hawking overpriced collectables.

      TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC started in 07/2024.

      Located at:

      1309 Coffeen Avenue, Suite 1200 Sheridan, WY 82801

      Which is also the location of a dozen other companies.

      I can’t really find any info on who owns it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was essentially owned by him and this is little more than money laundering.

      Edit: Looks like it is registered by Cloud Peak Law Group, LLC and the filing was put in by Andrew Pierce. The last registered person on thir paperwork was Ashley Preston. They both work for Company Sage (Andrew Preston being the founder) which makes software to make it easy to start an LLC. But it seems odd to have your own employees be the registered person for the LLCs.
