If you can wait, save up from something more substantial, that can hold its value over time, like a Rolex or a popular Omega model like the Speedmaster.
Otherwise, just get whatever that looks good to you.
Hmm..i would love to have a rolex but the price is still far beyond my budget..even looking at preowned
Hi Terrence, looking through ur posts reminds me of my position in your shoe a month back. The dilemma lasted me some time or so for choosing the available options out there..
I was stucked between the Oris Aquis Date(5k+), Tag AR Cal5(7k+), the Ball EHC(9k+), Bell Ross Steel (9k+)
I was in the same situation as u at that moment with same budget at 7k, Rolex as my favorite watch brand because my dad and bro already owned 1 that really make myself wanted 1 as well.
Anyways, will work my way to Rolex in few years time but for the time being I just want a watch that will look nice on me. As I had been thinking too much which to get I simply just put 1 factor to priority - the watch I love seeing on my wrist and being distinct from what people are wearing out there.
At that point no doubt I told myself BR is the only watch that gave me the impulse to purchase right away and I love it most out of the 4 options that put me in dilemma. Although the downside of the BR of being not rich in history, lowest water resistance of all the options, no bezel, etc etc...
So, just choose a watch that you think it will make u looks good.. or at least u love seeing and wearing it everyday
Just my 2 cents
