What the hell is a Birkin, why are there no pictures in the article, and why the hell is this on HN?
I never wore an expensive watch (or any watch) until I became interested in jewelry and accessories. My phone tells the time just fine (better even), but my IWC is fucking gorgeous on my wrist.
There's nothing wrong in wearing beautiful jewelry, and a person choosing to do so does not tell you anything else about that person. It's sad to see this sort of attitude promoted.
The Wikipedia also has pictures.
FYI you can't buy V12 Ferrari outright, even if you want to pay 10x the official price. They will sell you some basic V8 model, and if you are happy and good customer, after few years, they can put you in the waiting list for something better.
Theoretically you can skip the line by buying from somebody else, but as an owner you sign very detailed contract what you can and can't do (ie repaint), if you screw this one up you are banned from Ferrari forever (I think Justin Bieber ended up like that but don't know details).
These days, it may not be V8 but V6, and V12 became some crazy hybrid with literally too much power to drive for normal people but the logic remains, and there is more clueless rich folks who want to impress.
If you want to look it up yourself, just search for "deadmaus ferrari".
- send in your husband/boyfriend
- buy a lot of Hermes products from the same SA
- claim it’s your birthday or that you’re expecting (harder to pull of nowadays since it’s done often)
- visit a store in France
The difficult part is being able to get it in the size/color/hardware you want since they don’t necessarily have what you want in stock or have for whatever reason decided to not show it to you as an option.
