    I bet this would be one hell of a collectible. Limited run of bullshit paraphernalia with an obvious print error about an extremely controversial, transparently corrupt and serial lying felon with an enormous cult following.

    Just think in 20-50+ years. People still go nuts about their nazi shit. The price of the watch is high enough that there won’t be too many of these in circulation. Unless many of them have this print error, it’s something anyway.

      Some day, hopefully, a grandkid finds a trunk in his grandparents attic full of MAGA shit and has a crisis realizing that his grandparents are really shitty people.

      all this trump shit will be worth about the same amount as beanie babies. Probably less since grandma and grandpa will need to keep it hidden away in the attic with the other nazi paraphernalia.

        Just a matter of time and condition man. People will pay money for pristine old things, especially if they are related to major events. Infamy too, not just good things.

        I could see this on antique road show and the fact that it has a news article associated with it and it kinda portrays him in a negative light would help establish provenance and make it way more memorable than most bullshit. There’s even parallels to the defect of the item and the defect of the administration. Plus the potential wildcard of who knows what will happen in the next few years…

      The very fact that he’s selling these watches while in officeis, in and of itself, corruption. Why oh why is that not the story, rather than the shit quality of the products?

      Nazi shit was cool looking. And not made of plastic. If any of this shit survives it actually might be collectable one day though.

      Good chance you might pick one up at a hock shop for fiddy in a year or so

      Yeah it could be a shrewd investment if you can get it cheaply
