High prices in most anything creates exclusivity. Cars, clothes, watches etc. Decide who you are first, then pick a watch. If keeping up with the Jones and wanting to be seen as successful in the eyes of others is the goal, then go big, you’ve earned it. As someone who was had a lot of nice watches etc, it always leaves you wanting more and the nicest watch seems always not enough, so you end up on a endless pursuit of more and more. Took me a long time to realize that didn’t make me happy and no one really cares. Back to watches, Breitling and Omega depending on models seem to have very good options at some lower price points for your tier. Unless you are driving a nice car, dress fancy etc, most people are going to think your Rolex is fake anyways. And honestly, it took me a long time to realize that no one really cares which watch I wear, 99% of people don’t even pay attention whether I’m wearing a Rolex or timex. Buy something you think looks good and you like, because in the end 99% don’t care and have no idea what it is anyways haha. Best of luck
