Wife celebrating a memorable occasion/achievement.
She has a small collection, but has expressed interest in a mechanical watch w/waffle dial.
Max 34mm case diameter, but preference closer to 30mm
Bonus points if purple or green waffle dial.
Budget : not decided let's say max $5K Australian dollaryroos
I've lowered my threshold I used to think $2K was unachievable when I wasn't working
When I had my first job (20yrs ago) I was spending average $2K a month on luxury items (ie a watch or a guitar) sometimes more. Shit got out of hand.
Then around 10 years ago I started getting $500 watches thinking that was a sweet average spot.
In the last few years, I've sold most of and kept ones that had actual good memories attached.
My most recent watch was a Citizen Automatic that didn't cost much, half was paid for by a bunch of ex-work colleagues that I worked with for between 5-14years. loved them a bunch and I think about them all the time when I look at it,at my new job...
And I'm about to drop $2K+ on a watch...
