Luv2play Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Next, travel advisories will tell tourists visiting the US not to wear expensive watches or jewelry in public, as is the case in countries like Brazil.

pubic_assistance Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 We are not a city that will be tolerant of this type of conduct,” Jenkins said. What a joke. San Francisco is a MESS specifically because they DO tolerate so much misconduct, that it creates an environment of "anything goes" with no consequences.

It ain’t safe. I couldn't comprehend spending thousands for a watch. I have the ability to do that, but I guess it just isn't a priority for me. Hopefully nobody wants to steal my $89 Timex.

It ain’t safe. I found it mind-boggling that a 23 year od was wearing a watch of any kind - and not a 'smartwatch'. I work with college kids 18-22, and can assure you no one - neither guy nor gal - wears a traditional watch. It's a smartwatch, or they just check the time on their iPhone. It was a tragic situation indeed, but I'm glad we A) caught a glimpse of his beautiful chiseled chest when he had his shirt off with the paramedics (and was wide awake, alert and talking to them while sitting up) and B) made it back on the field a few days after.

Watches, specifically Rolexes have grown in value significantly, and can be good investment pieces to have. Many people have them and never wear them. Just lock them away like you would lock away and keep gold bars. pubic_assistance, marylander1940 and CuriousByNature 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monarchy79 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 The crime in SF will not be addressed until the money leaves SF. When tourism drops, the class of high tax payers move out, and major retailers leave in mass exodus, that’s when leaders of the city will “sound the alarm”, and make changes. Money always talks.

Except that Ricky Pearsall is hardly your typical 23yo. He was a 1st-round draft pick who signed a 4-year deal for $12.5 million guaranteed. Plenty of the young men you work with will buy a fancy traditional watch once they've "made it." Women have plenty of options to show off their affluence -- a designer wardrobe, a pair of Louboutins, jewelry, a Louis Vuitton bag -- whereas men are kinda sorta limited to one flex: an expensive watch. I say this as someone who can't afford even an entry-level model, but I gotta agree with @pubic_assistance ... I find Rolexes a bit tacky.

For 'status' symbolization, these young guys who are Pearsall's age (Gen Z) invest in the most expensive sneakers out there. None of their friends / colleagues are impressed with the watch on their wrist - they're impressed with what's on their feet. And those sneakers are outrageously expensive - I'll never understand it. (PS - I'll never understand the guys who buy sneakers for 'investments' and as 'collectibles'. WTH ?) pubic_assistance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be zero tolerance when it comes to crime! No more slap on the wrist for folks who steal something under a certain amount of money, if you're a thief you have issues and need to go to jail!

Violent crime is not out of control in the USA, and it's been coming down since it peaked in 2020 and even then, wasn't even as bad as it was in the 70's. Shoplifting has put stores out of business and must be stopped by undercover cops arresting criminals and judges who will put them in jail. It's crazy that in some cities they're released even if it's the 20th time they have stolen something. pubic_assistance and Redwine56 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually no college students become financially successful enough by 23yo to buy a $60K watch, so they flex by showing off more affordable status symbols like expensive sneakers or flagship smartphones. But once entrepreneurs, lawyers, MBA types are making serious money, not just "I can make my student loan payment and still afford EDC tickets!", I can't imagine they're flashing their affluence with Air Jordans.
