[Recommendation Request] I just survived a stroke (I've also beat cancer 2x, and survived a house explosion, but that's for another day), should I buy a watch to commemorate this event? (alien.top)

I'm 47 and am on the other side of a stroke (last Wed.) now (Feeling pretty good - my balance and motor skills suck).

I currently have:
Tudor BB GMT (Black Dial)
Tudor BB 41 (Black Dial)
Longines Hydroconquest 41 Grey dial with Grey Ceramic bezel
Seiko Bruce Lee Limited 5 Sports Edition Automatic
Dufrane Barton Springs II with Hill Country Wine Dial
Seiko Prospex SRPC93 (Save the Ocean dial)
Seiko Presage Automatic 1964 Limited Edition-SPB127J1
Casio G Shock 2100-1A

If I add something, I typically buy it second-hand and keep it under $3,000. I like unique dials, and I kinda want some sort of Panda. Open to anything though. Let's hear some suggestions for this brain-damaged watch fan.

Congrats and buy whatever you can afford that makes you happy! Life is too short to wait unless you have other financial commitments. Whether another watch marks the occasion once you have that many is something only you would know. Perhaps the others were also purchased to commemorate events!
