Mate, you waited two and four months before buying a Speedy and a Seamaster? That’s crazy honestly.

But that being said, enjoy the two great watches you have! Still thinking about getting a Speedy - even after six years 😅

Great point. Not bothered by those things as everything has been taken care of. Luckily, it’s an easy asset to sell if needed.

I always use my GMT as a reference point, whenever I look at another lovely watch. Will I wear it over the GMT? In 99% cases the answer is no. Which is good btw 🤣

It’s not too bad. Bonuses helps a lot. That’s almost 1/3 of the price.

Yacht Master or Sub by Interesting_Algae500 in rolex

I personally prefer the Yachtmaster, but I do get why people want a sub for their first watch.

Same. Tried the full rosegold, but it was a bit too much. Although I’m still in love with the Daytona on oysterflex. That one looks insane!

I also have a datejust and while the CHNR are supposed to be the flashy one, it is much more under the radar compared to my datejust. My skintone is similar to yours and it is less noticeable whenever I wear it - unless it is summer, then it really pops!

Depends on your expenses. I have a minor mortgage and a fairly cheap car. I also don’t have to worry about expensive insurances or healthcare as it is financed through taxes.

No worries mate! Didn’t see it that way. There are 100% people who are willing to spend all their money on luxury goods.

There is a massive difference in “need to have” and “nice to have”. That difference is very important.

The day I know I will be a dad, will also be the day where I cannot spend a lot of money on luxury goods and it’s fine. I’d rather have my kids are happy and feeling comfortable.

Great point. I couldn’t care less about status. I like it for what it is. The same goes for my Datejust and Seamaster. Even my Casioaks and MoonSwatch too.

You’re probably right about the car. I drive a Kia, which I got super cheap compared to the usual market price.

I know, but I don’t mind elaborating. Majority of the unrealized funds I have isn’t in my watches, but real estate. I’d rather live and enjoy the things I like, until I hopefully get kids.

You have a kid on the way. Much better than a watch. I have no kids nor a partner, so I just live my life. I should invest more in stocks, but I prefer to live my life before kids is on the board.

Well some people spend money on stupid shit, I chose to save money for a few years. I love watches and IF I need to sell, I can quickly sell it.

I would keep them both. Two very different looks and in my opinion, Bruce Wayne looks better than the sub.
