[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 buy rather cheap watches for several reasons including personal safety and my idea that most luxury brands have nothing to offer beyond status.

However, in terms of my other purchases, I only buy them if I can afford them the same number of times as digits in their value. For example, if I want an iPhone, I have to be able to buy it 4 times without it denting my bank account severely. In case of a Rolex, 5 times. An S Class? 6 of those please. So on and so forth. That way the purchase never burdens me.
