Hi guys, the question is simple, I am trying to learn from your mistakes because I don’t have money to make my own.
And I thought we could share some stories too.

A Daniel Wellington I bought when I was 17. I know, I know. The value of my local currency hadn’t plummeted back then and I had about $100 to burn. Went on Amazon and bought the first thing I thought looked “classy”. I didn’t know it cost probably 5 dollars for them to manufacture and that it has the simplest most basic quartz movement in it. I didn’t know the first thing about watches.
For the same amount of money, I’ve recently purchased a Vostok Komandirskie ref. 020607, which I’m more than happy with. It’s my first mechanical watch.
I bought one on Amazon around the same time. Objectively poor value, but in retrospect I love it for what it is.
It’s fashionable, super wearable, got plenty of compliments (for whatever that’s worth), normalized having a watch on my wrist for me, and got me into natos and strap swapping. It’s so thin it wore like skin and I never cared that it got dinged.
