I have a West End, Seiko Alpinist Mystic Forest among others. I don’t want to get deeper although I liked the new colours of the Orient.

Your perspective is reasonable, I have some obsessions with buying Show-class birds that people deem unworthy or what if “they die tomorrow” but I do defend myself that they have a good pedigree and so!

I do have my small collection and I wish I don’t go beyond 😅. Yes most people don’t care but some wearers think people do care and some others buy because they like them, but here I’m questioning what’s the intrinsic value for expensive ones? Quality, material etc, not really different once we reach a certain point.

Yes people don’t care. However, some people who wear expensive pieces think, or want people to look at them.

And yes I do prefer my 200$ over my 1000$ ones. I prefer quartz over mechanical they are lighter and more accurate.
