Gents, please keep the discussion focused on the watch itself. No need to get abusive towards Alec, no matter what you think of him, his work or his association with TAG Heuer.
I would actually like one, honestly. But the fact that I only make 49 000 SEK (approx 5700 USD) per month means I have very limited means to save up for new watches. At the moment my watch budget is aiming to cover both my first TH and my next Breitling (you might know Im a Breitling lover in the heart as well).
So I cant really motivate the purchase no 😬
Try to live on student finance and you'll soon appreciate your salary a bit better😉
Judging by his Instagram feed, Millennials seem to be the core of Alec's fan-base. I am honestly curious, would there be less polarizing opinions if instead of a guy, an artist such as this were to be female? 😕
I tend to think so and have come to believe that there probably wouldn't be so much visceral reactions if that were to be the case.

'Only $5700'... Jim, seriously... that's a very good wage for most people. Are you sure you're not Alec?
With that said I think it's hard to compare wages by just translating them to a third-party currency. For quite a few countries a salary of that would be absolutely magic but if you also have to spend it on family, hobbies, housing and transportation in a larger Scandinavian city it will dissapear magically.
I never thought about the cost of living in Sweden to be fair... also I don't understand why people go to London to work. Yes you can get a higher salary, maybe 30% higher, but your house will cost you 100% more. Doesn't add up to me.
High quality comments from the peanut gallery at the end of this article.
