Probably the 1993 JLC Reverso Tourbillion. It's from the year I was born, it's a tourbillon, and it's from the family of watches I most want to purchase from right now (Reverso). That said, unless my life takes a drastic turn upward, I don't see myself getting one ever, since they sit in the $40k+ range on the secondary market and I really can't justify spending that kind of money on a toy when I already have one kid, hopefully two in the future.

Christopher Ward, Baltic, Seiko Presage or Alpinist lines, Studio Underdoog...really any microbrand almost by definition requires some research and isn't an impulse "mall brand/luxury store brand" purchase
Damn, yeah, 500k to 600k will get some really nice houses in the MSP metro. Crazy housing markets
Honestly, fair question. 300k in any major metro or suburban area is tough. $330k is where decent houses start to crop up in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota area, which is the only metro I'm really familiar with.
True. All told, looks to be, conservatively, around $140,000 to $150,000 in watches, assuming MSRP purchases and no precious metal versions (other than the two-tone Santos). That's probably near or just under half the average cost of a 3 bed 2 bath in most American metros.
30yo in a white collar industry, I never wear a smart watch. I do wear my fibit charge on my dominant hand since it looks more like a bracelet than a watch just to track steps. Otherwise, 100% traditional watches on my off hand.
I used to have a Sumsung Gear years ago, but (1) it got water damage within the first year from swimming (despite being rated for swimming) and (2) I like not getting notifications to my wrist now. My phone can wait or someone can call if they need me immediately. I'd consider a garmin for swimming laps or running, though.
