[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.

If you bought a watch that you've been saving for quite some time that is "outside of your wage" just wear it. No one is going to care and most of the time they are not going to spend their time looking at your wrist.
