Hi guys, the question is simple, I am trying to learn from your mistakes because I don't have money to make my own.
And I thought we could share some stories too.

If you really really like one particular watch, buying substitute watches that sorta resemble that watch if you squint, will not satisfy you. Only the actual one. I have a NUMBER of watches that closely resemble a Rolex Explorer ref 1016. I never wear those watches, they were an utter waste of money. I invariably wear my genuine Rolex 1016 (not a museum example, service dial) instead.

The biggest advice about watches I have is DON'T BUY LOTS OF WATCHES. You'll end up with a load of watches you never wear and one you wear all the time. Much cheaper to figure out what you really want and just save up to buy that one watch. Anyway good luck
