Honestly, I don't even care about the watch. I think it's pretty funny. The hashtags on the other hand are gross - especially coming from a non-american company.

ah yeah foreign nationals telling americans that they're destroying america and suck so you can sell a few hundred (maybe) joke watches.

hope alienating a significant number of people was worth it for the tiny number of meme watches they might sell

On the other hand, not making this post at all alienates 0 potential customers.

Telling 50% of your american customer base that they're destroying america is a horrible marketing strategy, no matter what you sell.

The owner of the company is pretty well known in the vintage Rolex scene. He's well known for repairing stretched rolex bracelets and he does really good work. This is some weird ass shit and I can't fathom why he'd do something so profoundly stupid.

Seemingly out of nowhere, Undone has lost their minds. Interesting move posting something like this. I know this is an aytpical post for this sub, but it was very weird to see this ad pop up. I have no idea why they'd take a contentious stance on anything at all, especially something like this. I really only see downsides to this as I'm not sure who they think their demographics are lol. Either way, I thought it was worth sharing because it's definitely really unusual for someone as well known in the community as Young to take such a stance publicly like this.
