I am very impulsive with most of my watch purchases. Of the 14 watches I currently own only two were north of $800 and only one of those has any real significance (an Accutron Astronaut). I know that I am typically buying a fashion accessory and not a piece of any real horological prestige.
I’m currently researching and shopping for something specific (with a $2000 budget), but that won’t necessarily stop me from spontaneously buying another pretty/cool/interesting $300-500 watch while I am shopping for the right “big” buy.
