:roll: :roll: :roll:

Only a STUPID ASS BUM would buy a watch worth more than a house. I can buy a freaking $1000 watch that would look better than that shit. Hell, I could probably get a better one for $500. Melo is one retarded dude. Seriously.

[navy]

Carmelo Anthony has 80 million dollars and a contract that will pay him 100 more million dollars.

And here you are talking about how he bought an expensive watch?

[DCL]

this boy will file for bankruptcy one day.

if i could, i'd put 100% of my shit on vegas that it would happen. :oldlol:

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

hate how hollywood nikkas get.............CP is into watches too i dont get it. Watches serve no purpose no more the trend should die

[Taller than CP3]

$500,000+ is like $50 to him

Dude that is wearing the watch looks like he's on steroids.

Only thing of value he'll ever wear on his arm/hand.

Dude, you're missing the point. Melo could've bought 2 fancy two story houses for the price of that butt-ugly watch.

[Lensanity]

The cheapest watch i own is $100 and it looks about 100 times better than that

[Taller than CP3]

I wonder how much Lala spends with Melo's money

[PhutureDynasty]

100 million left on his contract

[Jud]

100 million left on his contract
Don't care. The dude doesn't know how to spend his money.

[RoseCity07]

What an idiot. I say he paid 100 for the watch and burned the rest.

[Mr. Jabbar]

money aside, its kinda ugly.

but if u wanna talk classless spending, look no further than this:

$500,000+ is like $50 to him

Your math is a little off. If $500k = $50 then 180m = 18k. People making only 18k over a span of 10+ years can't afford $50 watches, nevermind a roof over their head or food on the table.

[iamgine]

Carmelo is paid $2 million a month. He lost 50% of that to tax so he makes $1 million. The watch is 56% of his monthly salary.

Lets see you spend 56% of your monthly salary on a watch. :lol

Why would I wanna learn about something that's dumber than I am?

[Marchesk]

Reasons to buy a watch in 2015 of our Lord Godbe:

1. Style
2. Convenience when pulling out your phone isn't a viable option.
3. Smartwatches, assuming the iWatch delivers (which will motivate the other companies to do better).

Lmao 1 million where I live in the Bay gets you a decent 1-story.

[CavaliersFTW]

If he really bought a 500k watch he's going to go broke and lose it and everything else he owns as soon as he retires from the NBA.

No job he can ever find in the world post-NBA can sustain and maintain the goods he's purchasing and that kind of lifestyle he's currently living if he's buying 500k watches.

Earn big, spend big only works if you earn big your entire lifetime. Melo will be job searching in about 4 or 5 years. Liquidating his assets in 6.

[Crimsonrain777]

$500,000+ is like $50 to him


no it is not, not even close

[midatlantic09]

If this is indicative of his general spending habits, he'll be broke within 10 years of retiring from the NBA.

[Taller than CP3]

what's the point of buying that watch if he can't even tell the time on it

[dreamwarrior]

Actually ot is a smart buy just as long as he keeps it safe and does not wear it every day. In 20 years it might be worth 1m or more. Its like buying a honus wagner t6 card

[Joyner82reload]

Must be a Patek Philippe to be that expensive. Also stating him spending $500k on a watch is like a standard person spending $200 on a watch are unbelievable ignorant. You can work at McDonalds and make enough money in a week to buy a $200 watch. Additionally, you can easily run through 100 million in 10 years buying shit like $500k watches. Let's say the guy goes broke, you think he wouldn't look back on doing dumb shit like this with deep regret? Although if it's a Philippe the resell value is excellent and some go up in value over time

[plowking]

I'd rather buy a McLaren or some sort of AMG for that type of money. No one needs a watch that expensive. I doubt even Bill Gates is wearing watches that nice.

Saying that though, wasn't Yohan Blake wearing a $500k watch during his 100m final in the Olympics?

Love how people are treating this purchase like buying a car

Buying a car = instant loss of $ when you drive off the lot

Buying a watch = investment

If the watch is not completely trashed he easily will get 400K or more. More than likely he will get what he paid for it

That being said there are much nicer watches at this price point

[knickballer]

$500,000+ is like $50 to him

If we assume his pre-tax income is something around $30mil then that watch was around 2% of his yearly income.

In comparison, a person who makes $80k pre tax income were to spend 2% of their income on a watch it would be $1,600.

It's still a very large sum to pay and I think it's safe to assume that Carmelo is lavish spender in general.

Only a stupid ass little boy would post crap like this. I swear this place get stupider by the minute.

Come back when you have some credibility. Or when you graduate middle school.

He thinks Melos hand is his forearm

[Kargo]

He needs the watch so he can never miss any Bulls playoff game on tv.Schedule is a bitch.

[dubeta]

Funny how that watch is literally worth more than Melo's actual NBA worth

[Draz]

Bill Gates wouldn't even show off what he has. The difference between millionaire athletes and billionaire businessmen is a huge gap. Although I don't think that was a smart investment, let's not act like there isn't anymore purchases like this he's probably made. He obviously makes enough salary wise and with endorsements to live like that. Is his chances higher to going broke? Sure. But there are other stupid purchases people make that the public don't know about.

I'll use Mayweather as an example. Bill Gates would make him look like a dumpster baby. He could wipe his ass with every dollar Mayweather has ever earned. Yet he has about $20-25 million in cars alone.

[aj1987]

And that will all be gone in about 5 years.

Then what what will he do with all the shit he's collecting?

Many people think playing in the NBA makes you set for life or w/e... it does, only if you spend your 10's of millions on an annual budget like an upper-middle class person for the rest of your life and stretch that money out to last you and your family until you are 70, 80 or 90 years old.

If you spend big, you will be dependent on big-time checks and your gonna lose that money just as fast as you earned it if those checks ever stop coming, I wonder what Melo's plan is to continue receiving huge paychecks for the rest of his life after he's not getting paid anymore by the NBA in about 5 years.

[Imtheman]

2 "fancy" houses for $500K? :wtf:
You ever been to Philly? They have nice 2/3 story houses for less than 500k.

[Cali Syndicate]

Lmao 1 million where I live in the Bay gets you a decent 1-story.

you from the south bay? Houses in the nicer areas of saratoga, los altos, menlo park, houses average like 2 mil easy.

But op is right, im sure melo should have looked into buying two houses in ohio.

2 "fancy" houses for $500K? :wtf:Thinking the same thing....

Can't even buy a porta potty in NY for that price

[04mzwach]

Nice watch. I bet it hand crafted, those are truly badass. If you like watches, then those are the kind of watches to have is the very best. I figure at least the money goes somewhere other than his bank account.

[inclinerator]

relax guys, it's an investment

[JellyBean]

$600,000 (I round up) for a watch? Good Lord. No wonder these athletes go broke.

relax guys, it's an investment
Exactly.. this type of thing he can sell in a few years for more than he paid for it..

it's not like he's going to wear the thing to change the oil on his car :lol

We gonna act like he isn't married to Lala, who has a shit ton of money herself.

He's not going broke.

1:01 PM PT -- Turns out, Anthony didn't buy the watch ... yet ... but he's VERY interested in it.

Here's the deal, Carmelo is a partner in Haute Time -- a luxury lifestyle website/magazine ... and last night, he organized an event for 15 ultra-wealthy collectors to check out and try on some exclusive Greubel Forsey pieces.
During the event, Melo fell in love with the globe watch ... and we're told he's "very interested" in purchasing it. Stay tuned ...

[305Baller]

WTF

[Bandito]

Thought you meant the new Iwatch or whatever that apple watch is called.

[Draz]

Buying a $600 LV belt while making $8-$11 an hour is as bad. Not only that but people buying $700-$900 iPhones every year while making less than $40k a year. Who are we to judge. But, I do agree it would of been stupid of him to make such a huge "investment" on something like that.

Man I hate melo more than anyone but even I won't hate on him for this. He's worth 100s of millions of dollars. This is nothing to him. At a certain point , when you can afford anything, the value of a dollar is meaningless. It's about having what others don't.

You do realize he has another 30-50 years to live once he's done with the NBA, right? He will have virtually no income once he retires from the league, money dries up quickly when you have no source of income.

You're missing the point. Anyone can get a job making $8-11 per hour and recover the $600 they spent on that belt in less than a month. What kind of a job is Carmelo Anthony going to get once he's out of the NBA that could allow him to recoup the $600,000 he spent on a watch.

If he goes broke in 20 years it's not because of this watch.

I'm sure not winning a ring will hurt him.

[Random_Guy]

wow, looks like we know whos going to be broke in 10 years. for all those that is saying melo wont go broke because of this watch, that is only to the extent that one assumes that this watch is an anomaly in his purchase tendency. I mean look at Allen Iverson, look at mike tyson, those guys are broke (AI would be had he not set up that fund). its not about this watch, its about what he does with his money in general, and buying a freaking half a million dollar watch is vastly different from buying a 20k LV bag.

[Straight_Ballin]

I'm sure not winning a ring will hurt him.

People act like winning is everything when the player are already making the amount of money they are. They're already winning.

They are not winning in the eyes of other NBA players who have won, and that's what matters.

[Spaulding]

Lots of people in this thread wishing they had that money to spend on an ugly watch.

Y'all mad af.

[Sarcastic]

The watch costs ~2.5% of his yearly income. People are making a mountain out of a molehill. It's like saying a person that makes $100k/year is gonna go broke for buying a $2,500 watch.

[NZStreetBaller]

I'm sure not winning a ring will hurt him.

True competitors dwho love the game dont join just for the money. Theyre usually the guys who end up winning the chips

[dunksby]

It's already a collectible IMO so he won't lose much on it, I'd say he could add more value to it if he wore it while receiving silverware, but we all know it's not going to happen.

[oarabbus]

Dude, you're missing the point. Melo could've bought 2 fancy two story houses for the price of that butt-ugly watch.

Wow, we have an expert on watches costing over $500k! Can you post your reviews (or first-hand experience) of the top ten watches in the $500k to $1m range? Please give details about quality, functionality, durability, resell, and what sort of personality each watch fits. This is something I've been needing some guidance on. It's not often you meet someone who knows about products at this price point, let alone watches specifically. Thank you for registering on these forums.

To be fair, the difference is that the guy making $100k working a corporate job can work that job until he's 70-75 if he needs/wants to. However, Carmelo probably won't be in the NBA 8 years from now.

[JerrySeinfeld]

$500,000+ is like $50 to him

it's 0.6% of his net worth, including all his assets and shit man

[wang4three]

He spent roughly like 3% of his salary on a watch. Yeah, if I thought about spending 3% of my salary on a watch, I'd say that's too much.

[aj1987]

it's 0.6% of his net worth, including all his assets and shit man

He'll make more money in his short NBA career than that guy working his corporate job will in 100 years.

[InfiniteBaskets]

And NYC and anywhere else that's expensive as shit. It's the truth even if you don't like it.

I live in NYC and was just visiting my friend in Knob Hill for a week last year. The actual Bay Area and NYC area covers a large span of area. There are tons of areas in Richmond and Oakland, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Staten Island, and even certain neighborhoods in Manhattan and SF that you can purchase an apartment for $565k.

[NugzFan]

And NYC and anywhere else that's expensive as shit. It's the truth even if you don't like it.

Of course it is. I just love how Bay Area people have to remind us every other second. :oldlol:

it's not like he's going to wear the thing to change the oil on his car :lol

it's a better investment than most new cars would be..

No luxury watches ever sell for more than their original brand-new-in-box value. Watches are not an investment.

At least a lot of his other watches don't look like complete shit. Youtube him and his watch collection and you'll see that he's got a lot of decent looking ones, albeit they're all Swiss. If he had any sense of true appreciation for fine craftsmanship, he'd have gotten at least some high end watches from Credor or Seiko Gallante. Japanese watches have far superior finish and polish on their watches than anything the Swiss put out, in addition to higher precision movements.

What about the watch that I had custom made for me at the foot of the Alps by a retired Swiss watch maker? It's not just some watch that you can call up a manufacturer and say hey, can I get this model? I wanted something that no one else had, and I got exactly that.
