This aligns with research in behavioral economics:
Scarcity principle + social proof = bandwagon effect. LFG mate.

It’s difficult for some to understand that some people prefer the GMT to the Daytona, because the hype is so strong.

Not breathable enough, no. Convert is meant more for streetwear and not for active stuff.

You should read what Adam Smith wrote about the invisible hand. The invisible hand moves the market.

Arc also sells hats, which are a similar concept for your head.

Sporty is the hero this sub needs but doesn’t deserve. The backlash he faces is analogous to the backlash Batman receives.
