I buy 1 max 2 watches each year otherwise I don't appreached them because the new toy is already waiting.
I also tend to wear the same 2 or 3 watches all the time anyway even though around 40 other watches are waiting in my safe deposit box.

Why no gold at all? It’s a material that simply makes sense in Juwelier for different reasons
No gold at all can be difficult. Often times the hands or the markers on the dial, some rotors …. Are made of gold even if the watch doesn’t have a gold case.
This is also a big problem for me. I hardly ever damage a watch, this happened probably 3-4 times in over 20 years of accumulating expensive watches.
Two times I sold the watch (Rolex GMT Master 2 in steel) and bought the same watch again, one time I got the case laser repaired (Rolex Daytona in steel) and one time I got the whole case replaced (Blancpain Fifty Fathoms in titanium, which is more or less not repairable, it was sent to Switzerland to try to repair it).
Over the years I have changed when I wear what kind of watch. When I wear short sleelves I only wear ceramic, Carbotech (Panerais) and gold (precious metal is easy to repair) watches so mostly throughout the summer. In winter I switch to my steel watches.
That was a realistic price around 2015.
