Are expensive watches worth it?
When I say expensive I am talking about a classic timepiece such as a Rolex, Cartier, Tag Huer, Omega equivalent.
I am thinking about getting one (still a long time from now). I love classic items, I don’t collect things but prefer one or two classic items for a classic well rounded wardrobe. I tried on a Rolex date just (basic model) and thinking of getting this to signify a financial milestone.
I am now having doubts, it is a lot of money, it will be my most expansive item (after my Chanel handbag). If I do buy one I will try on the other above brands just to make sure I don’t have any regrets. I had it hard financially, started my career late so I am justifying the purchase as a reward to myself. I always felt like I didn’t deserve these things and now starting to believe I do. Whilst I am now financially ok I want to also be considerate and think about what could happen, I know people are suffering right now and many have lost their jobs. I am ok for now, but who knows in 2 years time. I get so scared if I find myself back where I was. The other thing that gets me scared is here in London we hear so many stories about muggings, and people getting stabbed for trying to steal their Rolex watch. I don’t want to be fearful of wearing my nice watch.
How did you justify getting your watch?
