Save your money for what you really want. Be it a Speedie, Rollie, or whatever.

3K spent on an entry level Speedmaster, can get folded into a 5K Polar Explorer 2, which can be the basis for 10K Rollie, which can step you into a Daytona, which will lead to the AP or Lange or whatever you really want to sport.

The resale market and # of buyers for cheap watches is next to non-existent.

This is why I haven’t bought any watches. I’m just gonna wait until I can spend around $12k, and get what I really want.

Do yall have insurance on your watches? Just got one that protects against loss, theft etc with Hoodinkee. Figured if you're spending a few thousand on a watch you should get some.

I'm getting a Timex with a tan leather strap for more formal outfits, and I'm getting a Blue G-Shock because I already have a red one, had it since 2011, and I have a black Shock and an aquamarine Shock

there are jewelry only insurers too. one thing i'd do before buying this kinda insurance is hitting pacer or w/e their state's equivalent is and looking up lawsuits against them for denying coverage or other fukkery. see how many of those get dismissed vs. reach a settlement vs. get a payout.

I ended up with the Hoodinkee insurance. I don't have any other jewelry right now outside of watches but I'll keep that in mind.

Damn, I haven't updated for a while since my last post, but I have picked up 4 more watches:
Seiko Alpinist GMT green dial SBEJ005
Tissot Heritage 1938 Automatic COSC salmon dial
Tissot Ballade Powermatic 80 COSC engine turned bezel/black dial on bracelet
Tissot PR 516 Chronograph

I bought an aftermarket Miltat bracelet for the Alpinist GMT. I am looking at a butterfly clasp jubilee style bracelet for the Chronograph. It is a factory bracelet from the PRS 516, but I can't find one online. I'll have to call around to see about ordering one from a retailer.

I don't plan on buying another watch for a while, but I do have a list of watches I still want... a long list lol

I'll try to get pics of them up here all at some point.

Ended up buying a PRS 516 also deal was too good to pass up. The 516 will become the daily beater and the straps will be swapped between it and the chronograph. Haven't taken the chrono off since I got it

 

[stave]

Second watch is here. Bracelets swapped and this shyt is

I'll get pics over the weekend
