First watch
I guess you have to factor your first watch as the one you sought out, researched and eventually purchased. I bought several watches before I bought my first watch they mattered. From local jewelers making there own to a bulova as well as Movado. I didn’t realize what the term “Luxory” watch meant until my first Rolex. I became a ROLEXAHOLIC shortly after due to finding out what a quality watch was. Not to dis Movado or Bulova but didn’t hold a candle to the date just I bought with an acrylic not sapphire. I was uneducated to say the least. From that point I started researching the brand as well as others that either are comparable or not. This made me an addict of Rolex watches as a lot of others are just trying to copy the Rolex brand and as they say copying is the highest form of flattery. Since then I own two DateJust, blue faced sub with date and waiting for my Hulk that I should get before end of the month. I respect the people who are starting with what can be afforded as I’ve spent more then I ever thought I would and don’t regret any of it. So all that are stating with the watches that you are just enjoy the journey and be proud of your journey. T.
I’m a retired automotive service advisor. I was the guy you bitched at when your new car broke. I quit working at 47 years old and been loving every minute of it.
I’m not sure I understood everything you meant. But luxury means different things to different people. At its core, any watch is a luxury. Luxury for me is ordering dessert at a restaurant after dinner.
It’s great you like Rollies. Other people love their Movados and Bulovas just as much. I love this community cause it’s made me even more appreciative of the watches I have that I thought were uncool.
