Watches

Absolutely do not buy a watch over your budget. At £15k, you can get that watch 2nd hand amongst many others

A watch is a "want", not a "need", so I would never advise buying a watch you can't easily afford. Save up since there will always be another watch.

Save up.

I would recommend against pulling the trigger here.

1. Watches are almost never investments. They are mostly like cars - they start depreciating the moment they leave the dealer in your possession.
2. It's excessively steep for your budget; as others have noted, you can get that watch on the grey market or secondhand for substantially less (also ties into point 1 above).
3. Given that its list/purchase price is more than 1.5x your budget, you need to consider how it will enrich/benefit your life (my guess is that it won't, at least not in a way that would justify going over budget by that much). Note that if you had your eye on something in the 4-5k range this would not need to be a consideration.

Prices have been coming down.

I don’t think this will change any time soon. Safe and see what happens. I love this watch but it’s not worth the asking. You might see a time where watches will sell BELOW the MSRP again.

Hold off for the rest of the year and see what 2024 looks like. Watch prices are on the decline.

No watch is worth paying for over retail. And that includes Rolexes.

You mental or what? You didn’t want this watch, this watch is almost double your budget and yet you’re asking strangers on internet if you should go ahead and buy it?!

Sure thing, do it for the sake of lolz

Of course, buy a luxury piece of jewellery thats way above your budget based on the opinions of strangers on reddit, thats a great idea!

Dont buy a watch just because the AD is so „gracious“ and offers you the possibility to buy one

Nope, like others have said save up. Never go above your budget.

Well, when you cut through the filler the question boils down to this:

“I want a watch for £15k (because that’s what I can reasonably afford). Should I buy a watch for over £25k (just because they asked if I wanted to)?”

I wouldn’t want strangers over the internet to influence my answer to that question.

You should totally 100% go for it. Fantastic watch, fantastic investment, great price, totally worth a downpayment on a decent house.

You have plenty of choices with this budget, that is not one of them.

You can't be serious. You absolutely can't afford it and you didn't even want it to begin with. Just post straight to r/watchescirclejerk next time so I don't have to see this post twice.

You cant afford it... so easy no.

I love watches. I can afford a Rolex, but still cannot come to terms with spending that much as I think watches should around 5k. I couldn't fathom putting projects and overextending myself for a watch.

buy buy buy!

A mind set of eating beans for a few months in return for a more expensive watch than you can afford, is the mind of a true watch fan

Lol

Meh, dislike. Never understood the appeal of this one, nor do I get why the price is so high.

Even if it were closer to your specified budget I would pass. And if I actually wanted to spend in the range of a YM? There are dozens of other watches that I’d much rather have.

Lmao if you have to alter your diet to buy a ridiculous watch then maybe you shouldn’t do it. I’m not buying a watch if it’s costing me more than 10% of my cash reserves.

Fomo is almost always a source of mistakes.

Why not think for yourself?

Never break your budget for a piece of jewelry.

Dont buy something you cant afford. Save up and wait if you have to.

“OPpURTuniTy!”

Yes.

No, you can’t afford it.

Sounds like you can't afford it

If the beans and toast wasn’t a highly exaggerated joke, you need a reality check. It’s a watch dude. Be responsible.

You don’t need this watch.

The only rolexs I would consider at the moment(for investment) are 1’s u can walk out and instantly flip for 5-10k and with the market falling as hard as it is atm I can only see that watch falling under retail in a couple months

It’s just a black watch dawg, go touch some grass

1. Watches are not investments

2. Never go into debt for a watch

Considering that you both didn’t really want it initially and that it’s way over your budget, I’ll answer your question with another question. Why WOULD you buy it?
