[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?

I would also say if you have to go to great lengths to save up the money, its probably too expensive for you. It should be easily within your budget. Maybe saving for a month or two is ok. Preferrably be able to buy it outside your regular cash flow with something like a bonus, commission payment or an investment payout.

But if you cant easily afford it, you should probably focus this money on other things, such as investing. Exactly so that you get to the point where you can actually easily afford a rolex at some point.
