I buy what I like. The watches I like don't cost five figures. It really has nothing to do with price and everything to do with design. Could I buy a Patek? Sure I can.
I'd never wear it...
My photo "creds"?
Yeah, I take pictures at the Amelia. I also show at the Amelia. My '69 Charger has been there.
No one bothers with Maybach's at the Concours because Maybach's are relatively boring...
But not your 200' yacht. You can't, so you live vicariously through your "friends".
You continue to try to impress people with the fact that you know rich people.
Sad, really.
And I actually meant to delete the photo of the boat. I took it out of the body of the post...
When was the last time I posted about my camera equipment?
See, now I know you're clueless. Canon (not "Cannon") is used by many of the world's premiere photographers, just like Nikon and Sony are...
I'll take that compliment...
And, in a larger sense, what's fair and what isn't, correct?
See, the flaw in your reasoning is that you seem to believe that those making $50K a year don't spend the same percentage of their income as someone making $800K a year. It's not the actual dollar amount they spend that matters, it's the percentage.
Again, I believe it's monumentally foolish for someone with money to not be concerned with a budget...
I don't show my Maybach, it is my daily driver. I have a GT40 MK1, and I race several different classic race cars at the Monterey classics. One of my cars is in this picture.
Someone making 50k CAN'T spend the same percentage of their income as I can. Their base living expenses consume all they make.
My base living expenses are nowhere near what I make. Thus, I can spend whatever the hell I want, on whatever the hell I want to.
Who is going to be impressed by who I know? I have named no names, other than my friend who passed away.
You used to post a lot about your camera stuff, and I remember several times that the discussion got heated, why I have no idea but you and some other guy were trading insults.
Seemed rather silly to me.
But, once again, the couple making 50k are significantly impacted by the 6250 they pay in taxes.
That is my bill at Nobu.......
