[Collectors] Rule of Thumb (alien.top)

Obviously we all have our own circumstances, so I’m generally wondering: there is a difference between the watches we dream of and the watches we wear.

When I wear mine, I need to be not too flashy for clients while keeping it professional. I earn $105k as a middle manager in wealth management (MCOL), and the nicest watch I own is an Omega Seamaster ($5.9k).

Affordability aside, I’m weighing how much “nicer” of a watch can I get without “out-wearing my wage”.

I’d love to hear how others have approached this intangible; I can make my own decisions just looking for anecdotes.

Meh, the amount of people I’ve met with even reasonably nice watches is few in far between. That’s from working in finance to nuclear. The amount that care at all about watches are even less than that.

Unless it’s got a ton of gold and or diamonds idk if anyone would really realize the difference between a seamaster and something nicer.
