[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?

Im currently in my late 20s and can't really talk myself into anything over $3K. I view money spent on watches as money I'll never get back.

$1-3K : A forever watch. It's gotta be a 10/10 and something I see myself wearing in 20 years.

$300-1k : Still a tough sell. It's gotta catch my eye, be unique, and I know it'll get wrist time.

$20-300 : Fun money.
