need
having expensive hobbies is so brutal anytime i want a new guitar or watch i have to exercise delayed gratification and setup a separate account to save up and make it worth it (adulting ew) should have picked crochet or thrifting anyways here is a new guitar and watch that I really want (not getting for a while)
my first watch video!! here’s 3 of my favorite “affordable” luxury watches
since there seems to be a large group of watch collectors here, i wanted to show my daily watch (Tudor 1926) & the backstory of how i got it i got into luxury watches when i was 15. started reading about Rolexes, different types of mechanical watches, etc. found an incredible boutique that my mom would take me to. one of the sales reps was really kind and would let me try on all of the nicest Rolexes they had (gold day dates with diamond bezels, Daytonas, etc.) when it came time for my high school graduation, i had saved up and wanted to buy a nice mechanical watch (not a Rolex, but something special) we found out that the store was closing down, so went in for one last visit. i told her what i was looking for and my budget. the saleswoman pulled out a 1926 Tudor, which was 20% off due to the store closing i bought it and wore it out. i wear it almost every day. now, i still keep in contact with her and she will be hopefully helping me get my dream GMT Master II soon we love our watches, but it is the backstory and memories that make this watch so meaningful to me
