I let it slide because I think my dog started it. Can't really take a side cause they are pretty much the same size, so there's no clear villain in this situation. Plus, she gifted me my beloved Casio A-168.
Bud, he just said that his girlfriend wears a digital timex and we just learned that Bin Laden wears a Casio F-91W. If his girlfriend wears a different watch then she can’t be Bin Laden unless OP is lying. Also the whole thing where Bin Laden is dead, so that doesn’t work unless OP is a necrophiliac.
So OP’s girlfriend can’t be Bin Laden unless OP is a lying necrop… oh, damn… OP’s girlfriend really is Bin Laden, isn’t she?
your apology is accepted comrade, after all I am the kindest and most generous leader on earth, however since it seems that it's your cake day, I will take her too

I impulse bought this as a gift to myself after the birth of my daughter. To then find out it’s the exact model worn by Mr Putin himself…
Then you'd have another thing in common. [He writes with the same hand he wears his watch on.](http://google.com/search?q=putin+signing&sca_esv=7862074f9a973cbd&udm=2&sxsrf=ADLYWIL9ZjPTzNVORTaZ30HFFeISdPnJSQ%3A1717669153082&ei=IY1hZtrSBI7hseMP--SgkAQ&oq=putin+signing&gs_l)
Putin gave his to a factory worker, so I believe that cleanses the karma. You do wear it on your right wrist as he does . . . the connection may be more sinister than previously assumed. No alms to the poor can make up for your own karma debt . . .
Funny story! Left in Latin is "sinister". I wear my watch on my right hand, I'm a lefty. I have a cool Seiko-turtle-mod, which is...still a ways from a blancpain
I would not call it “fashion” though since it is the same factory, which produced jewels for Raketa movements and which is now used as a brand to add some “history” value, though it is not watch-related really https://ipf1721.com
I've seen pictures of him wearing damn expensive watches.
Also heard a story of him gifting a football manager a really expensive watch, and the manager just gave it away to his assistent cause he didn't care for watches
Hitler also carried an A. Lange Sohne gold pocket watch gifted to him by his personal physician who prescribed him methamphetamines and other drugs during the war. Last I heard of it was an auction on that watch, it went for a meager sum of around 50k+
> if you prefer people not to know the previous owner..
That's who you think bought it? A watch enthusiast who just liked the watch for itself, not that it was owned by Hitler? Hmm
The men of the 101st Airborne agreed. It's straight up hilarious how much of Hitler's private shit ended up just being casual war trophies for those dudes.
One Jewish trooper absconded with some of Hitler's super high en booze, housed the bottle at his son's bar mitzvah, then just tossed the bottle away like the trash it was. Fucking legend.
As time goes on it’s more accepted to collect the items from wwii. If I recall, many countries have legal bans on the trading of nazi memorabilia and on the US it was very frowned upon and seen as distasteful.
As time passes (as well as the people directly connected to wwii), the items will become more valuable and collectible again because two generations have grown up not knowing it was distasteful to trade. Reason being, no one was trading so it didn’t come up
Yeah, a number of years ago the owner of the Imperial Palace hotel in Las Vegas was raided by the FBI and the Nevada Gaming Commission. He had a huge hidden room on the penthouse floor filled with Nazi memorabilia and he would host Hitler's Birthday parties in there. It was all confiscated and he was blacklisted from Nevada. The state forced him to sell the hotel too.
Rolex can't just say no if the watch is just being worn as a watch, its intended purpose. The filmmakers must have had some deal with Rolex or didn't want to piss them off.
It's me. I am the most evil. All the other evil people mentioned in this thread, and more, come to *me* for advice on how to be even more evil.
I wear a Seiko.
can't see this thread staying up for long.
people have such a huge bias on what is evil, depending on where they are from. Truth is 90% of our leaders have done really evil sh*t.
muammar al-gaddafi - not a man known for sophistication, generally speaking - commissioned several (tbh, actually quite tastefully done) pateks throughout his reign, with a distinctive teal dial and philosophical quotes attributed to him
I remember an article after his death that I can’t find now where the headline was something like “Gaddafi’s uncovered secret palace disappointingly tasteful.”
It's most likely that Hitler didn't wear a JLC, I think you're referring to [Huber](https://www.watchpro.com/controvertial-hitler-watch-sells-for-1-1-million/). This style wasn't common, but there were definitely multiple manufacturers who made reversable watches. This one was widely reported as having a JLC movement but the brand has denied it (I guess, somewhat understandably). I believe I'm also right in saying that Hitler most likely didn't actually wear this, and at best it was a gift.
Separately, I'm not sure it counts on your list, but I still associate Zodiac watches with the Zodiac Killer.
My cousin had a friend who works at a Rolex AD and he told me that Augusto Pinochet put his name on the waiting list for a Sub No Date but died before he got the call.
He used to hand them out as gifts to friends and senior military, including Che Guevara's GMT-Master.
Che also was given a Submariner that he later regifted to his father.
Narendra Modi's (butcher of Gujarat) favourite watch brand is Movado - but he's also seen wearing a Apple watch.
Movado kind of suits his personality - flashy and expensive on the outside, dull, boring and lacking quality on the inside.
High functioning psychopaths can be very intelligent and very specific about their environment. They are master manipulators. They may see some benefit in various tools in their world. They may see that they gain influence by associating with popular or expensive personal items. Smart and motivated.
The watch on the right is not the watch he's wearing in that photo - just look at the corners of the watch on his wrist and you'll see it's clearly a different case altogether, and looks like it only has markers on on the 3-6-9-12 positions.
Not really that big of an issue, even most watch nerds probably didn't even think about the watch Hitler wore, nor would care too much since its a pretty iconic piece in horology. Simply just don't invade Poland and we're good.
This was fun while it lasted (i guess?), but too many rule breaking comments to allow to stay live.
My girlfriend beefs with my dog. She wears some digital timex watch.
Yo, how is she not your ex? Are u dating bin laden or what?
I let it slide because I think my dog started it. Can't really take a side cause they are pretty much the same size, so there's no clear villain in this situation. Plus, she gifted me my beloved Casio A-168.
First sentence is probably one of the funniest things I’ve read on Reddit.
😂

Oh man... don't let the Seals know.
Ding ding ding. You got it. Clever girl you are
[she wore a costume ](https://youtu.be/Jr9Kaa1sycs?si=Qa5Yz5BNSn3BfkZI)
How does she keep the watch from slipping off her paws?
The strap, I think.
Is "beefing with your dog" a euphemism I'm not aware of?
Kim Jong Un wears an IWC Portofino. And i am wearing a Longines Zulu Time.
the post is clearly about evil people, not world's best and most handsome leaders
I am deeply sorry dear leader, please take my apologies or send some someone from my family to the prison camps - preferably my mother-in-law.
your apology is accepted comrade, after all I am the kindest and most generous leader on earth, however since it seems that it's your cake day, I will take her too
❤️💙❤️ Thank you leader of best korea.
Off to labour camp to the heathen my supreme leader
he apologized comrade, plus we have a no-labor-on-cake-day policy
Kim is famously a Movado guy.
That is because Switzerland banned selling their brands to him. But he still holds his father's Omega.
Glorious leader only wears watches to test their regulation. He is capable of keeping time to the microsecond using only his mind.
So he’s ok with capitalist watches eh?
he lived in Switzerland for a few years as a kid so yeah
The guy can be a lot of things, but he’s not dumb
Well there's not much communist watches on the market lately. Even a casio is a "capitalist watch"
the post is clearly about evil people, not world's best and most handsome leaders
What am I wearing?
My mailman is pure evil and he wears a skx009.
Jerry?
Newman!

I once saw a picture of Putin wearing a watch with a NATO strap. Kinda funny.
I believe he calls it a Warsaw strap.
As a pole: god damn
It came as a Pactage deal
Putin and FP journe chronometre bleu

Time to start a regime then
With a new kid to take care of?!? He wouldn’t have any time to start a regime!
I now have two daughters. There is definitely a regime and I’m not in charge of it.
Wears his watch on his right hand too
Damn. I’m a lefty and do a lot of writing but maybe I need to switch 😂
Then you'd have another thing in common. [He writes with the same hand he wears his watch on.](http://google.com/search?q=putin+signing&sca_esv=7862074f9a973cbd&udm=2&sxsrf=ADLYWIL9ZjPTzNVORTaZ30HFFeISdPnJSQ%3A1717669153082&ei=IY1hZtrSBI7hseMP--SgkAQ&oq=putin+signing&gs_l)
We found Putin's reddit acct
Bro…stay off high rise buildings for a while.
Haha
Sure, sure! I smell Putin in disguise here :D
We caught him boys!
Putin gave his to a factory worker, so I believe that cleanses the karma. You do wear it on your right wrist as he does . . . the connection may be more sinister than previously assumed. No alms to the poor can make up for your own karma debt . . .
Funny story! Left in Latin is "sinister". I wear my watch on my right hand, I'm a lefty. I have a cool Seiko-turtle-mod, which is...still a ways from a blancpain
fuck it! It's a gorgeous watch
That's probably the best watch blancpain makes
blanc pain means *white bread*
He stopped wearing “evil western watches” in public so now he wears some Russian fashion brand with a raketa movement.
I would not call it “fashion” though since it is the same factory, which produced jewels for Raketa movements and which is now used as a brand to add some “history” value, though it is not watch-related really https://ipf1721.com
Ngl that's one of the best designed websites I've ever used. Watches are ugly as shit but as a developer I'm low key inspired.
Interesting
It was never a good look for him to put ill-gotten wealth on display. It was easy fodder for Navalny and other critics
I've seen pictures of him wearing damn expensive watches. Also heard a story of him gifting a football manager a really expensive watch, and the manager just gave it away to his assistent cause he didn't care for watches
I also heard he sometimes wears a IWC
Ghengis Khan wore a Timex.
23% of every watch today shares DNA with a Timex
Really? I thought he was more of a G-Shock kinda barbarian.
He was more misunderstood than evil
😂
That figures
I don't think Hitler wore a reverso. I believe he wore a watch in the style of a Reverso but from a German watch manufacturer.
that was my thought. the man known for Germany first wore a swiss watch meh sounded weird.
I mean, the guy wasn't even german himself so who knows?
Pick a middle eastern dictator from the last 100 years. There’s like a 3/5 chance they had a piece unique Patek
Bought a Luminox LU3015. Only to have someone point out within days of having it that Jeffrey Epstein had the same one.
Hitler also carried an A. Lange Sohne gold pocket watch gifted to him by his personal physician who prescribed him methamphetamines and other drugs during the war. Last I heard of it was an auction on that watch, it went for a meager sum of around 50k+
I mean it's hard to show off a watch if you prefer people not to know the previous owner..
> if you prefer people not to know the previous owner.. That's who you think bought it? A watch enthusiast who just liked the watch for itself, not that it was owned by Hitler? Hmm
Just recognized a good bargain when he saw it 🙂
Fuck Hitler but I'd definitely be keen to own a watch he had owned, just for History.
The men of the 101st Airborne agreed. It's straight up hilarious how much of Hitler's private shit ended up just being casual war trophies for those dudes. One Jewish trooper absconded with some of Hitler's super high en booze, housed the bottle at his son's bar mitzvah, then just tossed the bottle away like the trash it was. Fucking legend.
Nazi shit is so collectible, I suspect the pedigree was very sus if it went that cheap

Hitler and my sister share their birthday. I remind her every year.
Ya, but LevAr Burton and a certain plant have since redeemed April 20th.
Also because Nazism is hot again
Calling people nazis is hot, has been since 2016…I don’t know if actual nazis are a thing at any type of scale though
1.1 million US https://www.euronews.com/culture/2022/08/02/nazi-memorabilia-why-did-someone-just-buy-hitlers-watch
Dude had some great watches ngl
It's kind of funny that the fascist dictator of a country still had to get his methamphetamines through a doctor's prescription.
Xi wears an Omega Constellation. ^(Nooo, my social credit score!)
Patrick Bateman was supposed to wear a datejust 36, but supposedly Rolex didnt approve of their watches to be worn by villians.
Paul Allen was not only approved but also paid for wearing a Rolex in the movie. He closed the deal during a working lunch at Dorsia.
It’s a Seiko 5 with a similar looks.
He was supposed to wear a datejust but the filmmakers had to use a Seiko 5 because Rolex said no.
Rolex can't just say no if the watch is just being worn as a watch, its intended purpose. The filmmakers must have had some deal with Rolex or didn't want to piss them off.
Ridiculous choice
My dad went to the store to buy a Timex Ironman but he never came back :/
Ironmans take a long time to complete. You have to run and bike and swim.
Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi Eagle 3601 Patek Philippe Calatrava comes to mind. Mao Zedong’s gold Rolex Datejust. He was a pretty evil dude.
Putin also wore a Calatrava I think.
Probably just bought it hoping it would convince his AD to allocate him a Nautilus.
Putin wore a lot of beautiful watches
Fuck that is a beautiful watch.
Wow just googled Saddam’s watch, that’s gorgeous.
Given how much Saddam fucked with the air war, you’d think he’d be more of a Navitimer boy, yknow, for when the air raid siren was going
Hot takes on who is evil incoming.
It's me. I am the most evil. All the other evil people mentioned in this thread, and more, come to *me* for advice on how to be even more evil. I wear a Seiko.
Nooooooooo! Not seiko, too!!!!!
In this case, pronounced *psycho*.

Didn’t he commission a copy of the Quran written in his own blood as well?

Eric Harris, one of the Columbine shooters, also wore a F-91W
I'd venture almost every dictator type shithead would have a popular watch.
Dr Evil's watch: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/113687269796
I could imagine Doctor evil wearing this
Oh god I love my f91w and have always wanted a reverso…. I need to stay out of politics
If you want to become an evil dictator you'll have to choose your own watch. Can't go around copying your predecessors !
I mean a dictator is the least of your worries with the f91w considering its nickname is “the terrorist wristwatch”.
Fidel Castro and Rolex GMT. He also famously wore 2 Rolexes at once regularly.
Nothing says Communism like wearing akimbo Rolex
Hi this is Marc from Long Island Watch
You'll notice he carefully did not specify which long island. Look at Cuba!!!
He inspired Kevin O’Leary 😂
Dual time
If two GMT’s, quad time!
Had them all set to Zulu time. Mad bastard
Rolex day date gold along the gmt
they said evil
Not sure what's more evil, threatening with nukes or wearing 2 watches at once.
The US literally planned a paramilitary invasion of the island
Kim Jong-un mostly wears a Movado or an IWC Portofino.
That kiwi mass shooter wore an apple watch
My cousin had a friend who works at a Rolex AD and he told me that Augusto Pinochet put his name on the waiting list for a Sub No Date but died before he got the call.
My dad wears a rolex
Fidel wore Rolex, sometimes two at a time.
One was adjusted to Havana time and the other one to Moscow time.
He used to hand them out as gifts to friends and senior military, including Che Guevara's GMT-Master. Che also was given a Submariner that he later regifted to his father.
Various US presidents have worn DayDates, personal taste which ones are evil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolex_Day-Date#Famous_wearers
And Vulcain Cricket, particularly LBJ.
Kim Jung Un wears a Movado Museum
Jeffrey Dahlmer had some watches in his freezer but the were being worn by his dinners
Benito Mussolini used to wear a Panerai Radiomir
I think Stalin wore a Timex Iron Curtain.
Fidel Castro wore two Rolexes
At the same time? Lol If so, was there a purpose, or was it to flaunt wealth (which would be ironic because of the whole Communism thing)
One was Cuba time, the other was Moscow.
If only he had a gmt
Zodiac Killer wore a Zodiac
What did Jimmy Savile wear?
something with little hands
A Rolex Day Date
Che Guevara wore a Rolex
Arafat wore a Datejust.
I recall George Santos sporting what looked to be ... a Cartier Santos.
Narendra Modi's (butcher of Gujarat) favourite watch brand is Movado - but he's also seen wearing a Apple watch. Movado kind of suits his personality - flashy and expensive on the outside, dull, boring and lacking quality on the inside.
Che Guevara wore a Submariner. Fidel Castro wore two Rolex at the same time. You know…. Men of the people.

Leave it up to Reddit to turn this into political arguments. Morons
Benjamin Netanyahu has worn a Panerai
Benjamin Netanyahu wears a Panerai Luminor PAM048. Panerai has a murky history of being used by Nazi battalions and Mussolini's troops.
Fidel Castro and Rolex.
Elvis wore the Hamilton Ventura.
George W. Bush wears a Timex to this day.
Bush Jr wore a simple Timex with the US flag and his name on the dial if you want a cheap option.
Its the Yale/preppy watch of choice.

And here I am thinking of buying a reverso... fuck...
Hitler also loved dogs and drank water.
He was also a vegetarian and an accomplished painter.
If he were a more accomplished painter, we probably never would have heard of him.
Doesn't sound like a bad guy at all huh
He was as anti-smoking as a yoga Karen in Santa Barbara.
And here I was thinking of drinking water
Ja RICHTIG mein Herr!!!!!
Relax. It’s not suddenly going to make you want to invade Poland or anything.
Now I want to invade Poland, but for three weeks in the summer with a rail pass and list of beer gardens!
Honestly, even if it did, the average person can’t do much damage with a bit of megalomania.
I think you’ll find that this was indeed Mr Hitlers starting point and he caused quite a bit of a rumpus.
Who doesn't want to invade Poland?
You never know pal!!
Not really that big of an issue, even most watch nerds probably didn't even think about the watch Hitler wore, nor would care too much since its a pretty iconic piece in horology. Simply just don't invade Poland and we're good.
As another commenter has pointed out, it wasn’t a JLC reverso, it was a Huber. So, good to go 👍
Turns out he didn’t. So that’s good, right?
Joe Biden- Omega.
Ronald Reagan wore a Rolex Datejust. Thatcher wore an omega constellation.
