Let us admit that the idea of having a collection of watches is nothing but a myth. See the influencers proudly showing you their Rolex Submariner, Tudor Black Bay, and Grand Seiko Snowflake, and think what would it be like to have all three of these in your collection. This dream is hardly achievable for people of late twenties/early thirties who currently pay their student loans and start earning the first salary. As a consequence, you have five watches instead of one which is excellent.
One watch will definitely be superior to five. This will be your daily companion, not something that requires selection before going out. Think how easily you can attend a laboratory lecture in the Grand Seiko SBGA211 “Snowflake” or Omega Aqua Terra, use the same watch to go hiking, and finally to wear it on your wedding day. This watch gets scratched and becomes uniquely yours. Your drawer full of watches “which are pretty good” does not get used and simply gathers dust.
From the financial point of view, the choice is very clear-cut. Having spent five times more than the necessary amount for one watch means that you have lost your money. However, $2500 for a reputable brand’s watch keeps its price or even increases. In other words, you buy a jewel that has an investment fund attached to it.
What makes the matter even more beautiful is the development of a unique relationship with your watch. You gradually learn every detail about it – its quirks, power reserve, and even the way light interacts with it. Your watch is you, not the piece of jewelry which you constantly change. People will know that this is your watch as you wear it all the time.
In conclusion, forget about the collection which is never formed. Save some money, do some research on reputable websites like WatchUSeek, select one watch and wear it every day. Let it be your life companion. This way only you can develop a special bond.
