Thinking about buying myself an Omega/Breitling/Rolex. How many of you have coughed up $3k+ for a watch? Did you feel dumb for buying it?

I collect Pez dispensers. Cheaper and definitely no regrets.

I own a two tone GMT Master II. Get tons of compliments. No regrets. Actually made friends with some clients who shared my taste in expensive watches.

Nope. They last forever if you take good care of them. Some people dabble in fine wines/nice cars, a nice watch isn’t so bad. Divide the cost of the watch over 50 years and you’ll think it’s a bargain

Go used first and you should be able to skate under 3k

Agree w BA1, Vintage omega/Rolex can be GREAT value. I would rather get a nicer watch that is older than a lower tier SKU that's brand new (or go for same quality and save the money)

like

Do clients ever react poorly to these luxury watches? That's my hesitation (well that and can I truly afford one)

I have a large collection of fine watches! 3 Breitlings, 1 Rolex, 2 Tags and 2 Tissots. Never feel guilty or have buyer regrets!! Love them all!

Watches are awesome and they are a good conversation piece. I have a Breitling and Rolex myself

Is Breitling like the sort of undercover brand, like it’s a legit watch, but you actually look a little cooler with it because it’s not like “oh fancy pants and his Rolex”?

@acc1 breitling owners like me think so

Watches are not that expensive. They hold their value and will last a long time

You can recognize them by the distinctive slanted links in the band and breitling has strong branding in aviation and scientific instruments

Buy a conservative traditional one

Rolex submariner.

Omega speedmaster from the list you've given. Absolute classic without the potential pomp of a Rolex, and it has a cool story (and costs less than many equivalent alternatives)

What about for women? What is classy and relatively affordable?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
