    I saw that Zuckerberg had a $900,000 watch. I cannot figure out what would cause a watch the cost that much so I figured someone is just selling an expensive watch and a billionaire will buy it because it’s expensive.

    So do you want to get in on expensive sticks we found in the woods? Starting price 200 grand

      I mean, there’s a lot of very impressive manual labour in that watch. Not 900k of it, but still, if you wanna charge prices like that, you probably need some kinda storied history, or innovation, or whatever else you can gesture at justifying your outrageous pricing.

      Also needs some stir, maybe find someone more or less famous willing to wear your product, would be best if they also made a scene while wearing it.
