[What's blatant about it? It's a Chinese guy waving with the Chinese flag in the background. It's not like the guy is ordering the execution of a prisoner right there on the watch. In either case, if you don't know who the guy is or what he's done, you'd have no idea what you're wearing.


What is blantant about it??? That is not just some Chinese guy, that is Mao Tse-tung. That is about as blatant as wearing Joseph Stalin or Adolf Hitler on your wrist.


I get that. You get that. The average idiot on the street probably doesn't get that. Yeah, the average idiot on the street knows Hitler. They might even recognize Stalin (that one's borderline). I seriously doubt the average idiot has a single clue who Mao Tse-Tung is, let alone what he did.

People can tell you what Hitler did. They might be able to tell you what Stalin did. I don't think they even know who Mao is.
