I think I’m okay spending a lot of time on looking and reading about watches but I don’t “need” to own watches to have the joy of the hobby.
My wife and I do very well for ourselves earning over $550k per year but the thought of spending $5-10k on a watch does make me a bit weary. I’ll spend $1k on a weekend golf trip, or $3-5k going to a college basketball tournament out of state but the materialistic view of a watch has me hesitating. My wife has a nice rolex datejust that was ~$15-20k but she got it well before we married and now that we are together I don’t think she’d ever buy another.
My most expensive watch was $400. It does what to want it to do. Maybe one day I’ll get another more expensive watch but for now I’m content looking and not buying
Sounds like you would rather spend your money in experiences than stuff. Which is probably very wise in terms of what is most valuable for a quality life.
