I think it's more that your slightly random utterances come across as poorly constructed moralistic flailings with very little evidence of a specific position or point. It's all relative. Some people might say that you are worse than the 13 Patek guy by advocating the purchase of deadly weapons for war instead. Some may think that a watch that costs more than a 20 quid Casio is a disgusting overindulgence and is laughing in the face of other people's poverty. Do you think all investments are immoral or just watches, or just Patek Phillipes? Don't answer that, it's a rhetorical question.
Is extreme wealth obscene and bad for our society? I think so, yes. Do I think that opinion needs to be properly framed in a more wide ranging set of priorities and beliefs in order to be taken seriously? Yes.
Do I think that the watch enthusiasts thread on a fixed gear bike forum is a place where that discussion can be fleshed out properly and discussed in depth? No.
Or maybe you are just a troll.

I think it is just the place for it, because whenever I splash out on a luxury I think about the people who can't afford it. Maybe that's just me. I've had a very up and down life, wealth and poverty, sickness and health. And I analyse things a lot. But I don't want to believe that I'm the only one who does.
