[Rolex] What’s your watch buying rule? (alien.top)

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?

-If a watch is worth more than 20% of what my car is worth,

Interesting about the car rule. My watch is actually worth more than my car! Not because my watch is worth that much, but because my car is not worth much (<$4k I'm guessing)

The car rule is mainly put in place to keep my priorities straight.

I'd much rather own a nicer car. If the value of the watch can contribute to a dream car or something to upgrade from what I currently have.
