Just because one can, doesn't mean one should.

So he's spending some of his considerable wealth. Better than having it sit in the bank or parked somewhere overseas, where it is of far less benefit to American society in general.

Couple things. Let's say for arguments sake he bought 5 DD's and had a jeweler somehow create this President hat accessory. He's out 150k, no biggie to this guy. The other thing is, where'd the cases n movements go?

The hat isn't for me, but it's his money and he can spend it however he wants. If he likes it, more power to him. I won't hate.

If he just bought 5 bracelets he wouldn't have to worry about the cases.

The band is fine. I've seen far gaudier bands on hats. It's the cheap hat that bothers me. If you're going to spring for the bling, invest a little into a decent hat to show off the band.

Sean is a great entrepreneur but I can't sign with the idea of wrapping a wrist watch bracelet around a hat. That's twisted.

The hat looks ok to me, but I know nothing about hats other than my grandfather used to wear Stetsons years ago before he passed.

@Cobain No. It's just that, to me, a wrist watch bracelet belongs on the wrist. Why would someone wrap it around a hat ? But of corse, if you're rich, you can pretty much do whatever you want. He the kind of man who could pull anything of.

He put a RR hood ornament on a 1975 AMC Pacer.

I agree! Why these people have an unshakable need to impress others is beyond me.

It's intrinsic to his "brand", which helps spur sales of his products (e.g. Ciroc vodka) to sheeple.......
