Words of wisdom indeed. I totally agree with you. Although i also uncle but i just started on this hobby late last year and went through several rash purchases to scratch the itch because I thought those watches can tide me over. But i soon realise that was a mistake because i keep thinking about the watches that i really want. And in the end, its a costly lesson for me because i sold off those watches at a loss to get the ones i really want.

So now i am very careful with my purchases and i rather save longer to get the watch that i really want than substitute for something which i think i am ok with.

A 36 year-old uncle? You are still young!!!

That's a beautiful watch but I fear that piece may look out of place on a 23 year old student.

Blasphemy!!!

Haha it's always good to be prudent and wise in watch collecting!

Yup I learnt the hard way also. Bought many less expensive Swiss watches like Hamilton (4x), tissot (3x), glycine, steinhart (3x), Mont Blanc etc etc and sold them eventually. Lucky some of them I bought preowned so didn't lose or maybe earned some cash but those new ones I got... Lost quite a fair bit.
That's why now I'm more selective with the watches I purchase, especially new ones.

thats why i tell mine friends and watch lovers.. dun waste time on those... straight get a beginner rolex and slowly upgrade... rolex is super value for money.

Love at first sight, wallet next, reason to own this watch. The sequence continues.. Keke

Yup that's why for me, I willl only buy a watch brand new if I know I'm gonna keep it for life

nothing is certain... change is.

Don't talk too soon about keeping a watch for life!

哇勢！！！才二十出頭，就地看Zenith, GO了啊！！？有前途！
但是咧。。。才起步，麥看貴錶，麥中毒過深。存一條錢，十千也好，二十千嘛好，尚好是厚到有便入一個枕頭，到時經濟危機來時，免驚無安全枕好擋。

那是你忍袜條，買錶先看卡經濟咧錶款先。。。慢慢來，麥急。
麥聽什麼“頭一炮就該買勞啦，會保值啦～”有的沒的。。。

尚歹聽咧事實- 手錶保值永遠袜保100巴仙啦！

Sorry I'm quite bad at mandarin so I translated. And yes I know to he prudent with my watch purchases! And haha I feel like I'm the only one among my friends to like brands like GO and Zenith.. Most of them are just into ap, hublot, panerai and Rolex

The beginner rolexes are quite nice! Was considering the 214270 and 114300 before I purchased my iwc 377704

I've been thinking of whether to put this on a strap and try! But the case shape would look a little weird right?

Yeap. The bezel design doesn't make it suitable for leather strap. I guess that was the reason why Tudor immediately changed to the Fluted bezel and smooth bezel for their Classic line
