>>2231418>a Rolex is better than a watch from WalmartA dollar store watch is a better timekeeper than a Rolex, but that's just because quartz is more precise than any mechanical movement. However, a Rolex Oyster Movement is infinitely superior to a Chinese Standard Movement in terms of material quality and fitment. All depends on what you value. I don't mind watchfags spending ungodly money on a wristwatch, provided it's their hobby and that's what they're into. If it's just a hiphop nigger buying a Rolex as a status symbol, that's when I have no respect (even if it's not a nigger).
Similarly, if some moneyed up boomer wants to drop $1500 on a freehand pipe that IMO looks retarded, it's ok because that's how he enjoys his hobby. In fact, I doubt these people ever do it for status, because who the fuck even knows about pipes outside of the few pipesmokers left in the world? Your typical normie would think his pipe looks dumb, he'd lose status instead of gaining it.
