Would you buy two watches just so your first watch will have parts for to be repaired?
I love my watch but the movement and the watch itself is already around 6-8 years old. I had an experience with my grandfather's Seiko 5 from the 70s that stopped working, and Seiko Malaysia couldn't repair it for lack of parts.
So for my favorite watch, as insurance I am thinking of paying for the same watch, but on the second hand market (it costs around half the price, but still pricey la) and instead of wearing it, I will keep it in reserve, so that when my watch does break down I have spare parts from the second watch.
Would you guys do the same, or has done it before? Should I do it? We cannot be reassured that parts will live on forever - unless you own a Patek Phillippe but even that a repair costs RM50,000 plus.
