I need to buy fewer watches so I can afford to buy more watches.
The four rules of Watch Collecting, stolen from @JaeBust:
1. I can resist anything except temptation.
2. It is easier to beg forgiveness than to seek permission.
3. Fine quality is long remembered after the pain of spending money is forgotten.
4. Wearing what you enjoy, not dictated by price, accuracy, or dogma, is bliss!

Great price as well, definitely a watch people should seriously consider. Broke my mental dam on quartz watches too.
Yeah exactly. Plus I’m wanting a particular watch (Omega Ranchero) that was only made for two years and the number of listings claiming to be that watch but listing a year it was NOT produced and in fact are NOT a ranchero is astonishing.
Rancheros are rare and go for big bucks, so they are lying to sell at a higher price. But if someone is going to buy a Ranchero for several thousand dollars, they probably know what a Ranchero is. The stupidity of eBay sellers is shocking, the number of current watches listed for above MSRP makes me laugh.
