Mechanical watches are less accurate than quartz and significantly more difficult (read: expensive) to maintain. *All* premium watches are about buying status.

I mean this isn't really true at all, plenty of mechanical watches are nowhere near the cost of a Rolex and have *zero* status, and yet plenty of people buy them because they appreciate the craftsmanship aspect of it. Also, I would consider it to be extremely risky as an investment vehicle but plenty of people have bought them for that reason too.

The median income for my home county where I was born, is 22,760. (Buchanan co Va) Household is like 37K. That poverty level is a joke. People back home are poor as dirt. But I guess too be "poverty" you need to be on services or have a shithouse instead of an actual bathroom.

To be below the poverty level you need to have no "claimable income", work inder the table, have a 60,000 plus car and live in substadized housing.

I'll just take a watch with a calculator or some rando Simpsons watch out of a Burger King Kids Meal like back in the good ole days.

I had the "Mmm Burger" one and it somehow lived for like 10 years. Sadly I think I threw it away accidentally.
