Homage is the way to go. I know I'll never be wealthy enough to enjoy a $500,000 collection of watches but I (now) know that I can either build a really nice +/- $200 watch with a time-tested reliable movement or I can just buy a $100-$300 built watch that is as nice as I personally need it to be. Obviously, I would rather have 50 MB&F, Greuble Forsey, and F.P. Journe watches but I still enjoy my 20 watch collection just as well - and I'm not afraid to wear them. I build a watch every month or so and it's a fun hobby. I get a lot of satisfaction from doing so. Just making a call, blowing Alabama's annual budget, and waiting around for a year seems boring to me.
