[Question] Does anyone else use low cost homage watches to help decide between 2 high-dollar watches? in c/watches@style.land

I've been telling peeps this for a while, it's a great method to decide on the correct case size for example. Rolex OP 36 and 40 homages are under 100 USD all day long and you can sell them when your done for a decent amount of what you paid for

Look up the seagull 1963, you can buy them with acrylic or sapphire crystals, steel or bronze Cases, different dials galore. It's a workhorse of a movement used in the 1963 too.

[Question] my collection as a high schooler. What would you suggest next? in c/watches@style.land
