I recently got into watch collecting and purchased a seiko 5. It set me back about 150 usd. I know that it is considered entry level in the watch world, but to me even this seems quite expensive. Its not that I can’t afford to spend more on a watch, its just that I think that spending 1000s of dollars on tour wrist isn’t worth it. This hobby can get absurdly expensive as you guys know. How much do you think people should spend on watches?
“It’s not that I can’t afford to spend more” and “I’m still financially dependent on my parents”.
You can’t afford to spend more. Your parents can. Maybe your view will change when you start earning your own money and you can afford it. Maybe not. Nice that you don’t want to waste your parents money though.
