thanks guys so much for the responses and the genuine caring it says something about this board and the people and it means alot to me.
if the money is not an issue when you guys purchase a watch do you guys have a mental limit that you dont cross? and i know that finance is all subjective the person who is purchasing. like Roff said some people save to spend 1000 and others can just splurge 100k. but do you guys have a certain dollar amount in your head that you just dont cross even if you can afford to do it??
How much is too much for a watch? That's a question I'm sure everyone here has debated at one time or another.
For me it boils down to do I want to spend $15,000 (or some comfortable limit) on one really nice watch or get five $3,000 watches? Since there are so many good quality pieces to choose from in the lower price range I personally like the idea of having a few different designs to wear. Different looks and qualities/assets for different uses,etc. I can't handle the idea of having one expensive watch for all occasions that I am afraid to wear due to losing or damaging it. But that's just me. I'm sure there are others who think the opposite.
Now the question still is, how much should that total expenditure be? Everyone is going to have their own number depending on individual circumstances. But for me, since the watch experience is not my primary hobby I tend to limit spending at a few thousand dollars per piece and own 3-5 pieces. If I find something I like better than I have I will sell one first. I probably will never (I know, don't say never) spend more than 6-7 thousand on one watch, so I guess that is my limit.
Sounds like in your situation you have other watches in your collection so an additional more expensive piece is giving you 'fits'. That means your at least aware of the dangerous spiral you are about to enter
All I can say is RUN now
Good luck with your decision!
