Who are they advertising to
Obviously, people who can afford watches in that price range.
if people do wear $40,000 watches its very sick indeed
That’s merely your opinion. I personally hate ostentatious displays, but that doesn’t mean that one who doesn’t hate them is “very sick indeed.”
yet these advertisers obviously are getting business of people making simchas in hotels and people buying insanely expensive Jewelry that costs more than most cars
What is your problem? Is it that the advertisers are earning a living? Or that people go on these vacations and buy these cars?
Furthermore, once a person meets his tzedaka obligation, he’s entitled to spend his money as he wishes.
In addition, keep this in mind: if you don’t allow someone to spend his money on luxury items, all you’re doing is putting the luxury item maker out of business. You are, in effect, *removing* parnassah from the community, not adding to it.
