Would you rather have 1 premier high quality bag, or 2 high quality bags?

Two bags, of course. There isn't any bag in the $10K price range that I love.

I assume the $10K bag would be a Hermes, and even though I appreciate their quality and history and how smartly they chose their business model, I really truly don't like any of their bags enough to even consider owning one.
 
This is the 13k watch:

or get these two:

from my understanding, Rolex is more popular to majority of people, IWC is more appearing to higher society, prices can be huge difference in each model even in the same brand, I have seen once Nordstrom had 50% off Rolex watch, I could bought one at about $5,000, I forgot what model though. Watch is like jewlery, as soon as you get out of the door, would be lucky to get 1/3 of its value if resale. Since you don't care about resale value, then just chose the one you really like, but if I'm paying $10,000 for a Rolex, it better has gold and diamond, the one you shown a bit plain to me, just myself preference. :smile:

Oh, if this is about watches then definitely one $10k watch! Otherwise two bags, one for everyday/knock around and one for dressier occasions.
I’m thinking the same. If I get money like that from the sky to spend on watch I’d get a Chopard Happy Sport or Happy Diamonds at 10k ;)

A medium Chanel flap and a small Saint Laurent.
If it’s in USD 5k is not enough to get the medium CF, even now in EUR not enough after the price increase!
If it must be exactly 2 bags x 5k then I’d get 1 small Chanel CF (or mini rectangle if in USD) + 1 LV Capucines.

Yeah but 10k might probably be enough for a medium flap and a small Saint Laurent (maybe the toy loulou).

I’ve found that when I have a budget to spend and buy a purse/watch/jewelry, I often end up disliking the thing and consigning it or giving it away.

So after those mistakes—for me, I’d figure out what I’d want first because If I really want, I’ll pay for it no matter the cost (within reason). Regarding actual things: I have my eye on items less than $5k. So I’d choose the option of 2 bags/watches.

will You post ultimately what you decide?

That's a good point. I need to focus on what I really want. I will post updates if I get that watch, or something else.
