Hello everyone! I am a college student and I have been in love with watches for about 2 years now and have greatly expanded my knowledge and taste on watches. I was thinking about the next watch purpose just like all us watch addicts 😂 and was curious on what your rule about buying a new watch is? I am thinking of the GMT Master II but it’s $11,000 retail so I obviously should save up more than that. What are your thoughts and watch buying rule that you have set for yourself?
Only buy things you like, you can afford, and you’ll wear. Never, EVER, buy something because someone tells you that you “should have it in your collection.”
And especially never buy a watch because “it is a good investment”
Wait, you mean to tell me… Lol, missed that one!
I’d bet a lot of people using that line are just trying to justify the expensive purchase to themselves.
The buyers that genuinely only see the watch as an investment would be keeping it in original packaging in a lockbox somewhere, not posting wrist picks on Reddit.
