Looking into getting my first real watch (omega sea master/speedy). What should my base salary be before spending 4-5k on a watch? Making just under 80 and have been able to save quite a bit of my salary.

I don’t think you should look at your salary as justification to buy a luxury watch or not. As long as you are saving, don’t have much debt, why not treat yourself? Just don’t go crazy, be financially responsible.

There's no "right" answer on this one and it's probably different for all of us based on other hobbies (cars, travel, etc). So long as you have the money and aren't taking away from other necessities, go for it.

My rule of thumb is that it shouldn’t cost more than 1% of your net worth.

Just don’t get in debt for a watch. Other than that, but what you want! Tons of great options at that price point.
