There are actually many viable choices: Re-adjust your career to become a Russian oligarch, oil sultan from Middle East, Columbian cocaine trader, Amazon/Microsoft/Apple founder, a master jewelry thief, etc. Just pick your poison. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Kidding aside, that's one of the most awesome collections I've come across on internet. Just add an A.Lange Up/Down Datograph and AP Royal Oak and call it a day.

2499?! Is it yours? Christ. :astonished: And the Lange Tourbograph is one the most beautiful watches in existence, in my opinion. Basically, I'm jealous.

(the RM and JLC are okay as well I guess)

Yeah... I give up....

Stunning, and a couple of my absolute favorites.

My recent absolute favorite is the new JLC GyroWestminster but again that thing is too expansive for a non vintage piece.

I’ve had the Apple Watch Series 4 Nike+ 44mm LTE with black reflective band (currently wearing a Nike olive reflective band) for a couple of months now. My main reasons to purchase the watch were to stay more fit (I retired my Fitbit Ionic after it broke several times), to keep my heart in check with regular ECG tests, and to train for the upcoming LA Marathon (I ran my first half marathon at Surf City Huntington Beach a few weeks ago).

Smart watches seemed to be the new tech fad but it seems these are here to stay, aren't they?

I waited so long to jump on the Apple Watch bandwagon, but once I saw just how far they were ahead from the rest of the world, I knew they would earn my business.

From fad to fabulous!

None watch collector can ignore the innovation of the smart watch and what it brings, its like the quartz crisis back in the 80s, in my personal opinion no watch collection can be completed without a quartz watch (it can be a Seiko or a g shock) and maybe in the future a smart watch as well lol

I used to have a AP Royal Oak in Silver and after the experience of owning one, I decided to sell it and not ever wanting to own a watch again for the following reasons.

1. My phone is good enough for time.
2. Watch slowly became an accessory piece over time. (A nice one sure...)
3. I felt guilty wearing something so expensive when some others are struggling to eat. I feel like it's a slap in the face to others.
4. You sort of getting those feelings of other people comparing their watch to yours if they are within similiar realms of price points.
5. Maintaining/repair fees were dumb and did not want to fill pockets of the producer of the watches even more.
6. The whole artisan artist hand made small gear high class snobbery got old very fast. Got to admit it was cool at first, still is but the whole higher class snobbery **** that comes with it is sorta eye roll.
7. The novelty of wearing it quickly faded for me.
8. Becomes a **** measuring contest whether you want it to or not sometimes.
9. Scared to damage watch when wearing.
10. Attract wrong attention and scared to get robbed.

^just my experiences, you may disagree, but these are genuine thoughts.

For those who say why don't you wear cheaper watch then? Just not my cup of tea period to wear watches.
