[Rolex] What’s your watch buying rule? (alien.top)

Hello everyone! I am a college student and I have been in love with watches for about 2 years now and have greatly expanded my knowledge and taste on watches. I was thinking about the next watch purpose just like all us watch addicts 😂 and was curious on what your rule about buying a new watch is? I am thinking of the GMT Master II but it’s $11,000 retail so I obviously should save up more than that. What are your thoughts and watch buying rule that you have set for yourself?

Well it's just a couple but they are pretty much fixed (so far): "- only having 5 watches max" "- Only buying watches (I plan on keeping) on special occasions" "- not overspending" "- never buying a watch to flip that I wouldnt mind keeping" "- Each watch doing something different" "- Not going over 40mm" "- doing a ton of research before each purchase." Something that's not a rule but really gives watches bonus points is also a 19mm lug-with. Because that's the size I have most straps from.
