I'm hardly a high dollar watch purist. All of my watches were under $500 each. I do like having different watches though. I like to buy myself a nice watch after every combat tour I have done. I've done 4 so far. No plans for any more. 🍻

Very nice. When I do wear one, it's usually my WWII Waltham. I'll have to grab a photo of it.
I have a couple Omegas. And I’m on the waitlist for a couple different Rolexes but who knows how long those will take.
I'll be the oddball..I have never worn a watch as I have never found the need. I have this thing I have to carry around called a cell phone that does everything a watch does. Am I missing something? Is it a fashion thing? Enlighten me please
I used to wear watches when I was a teenager, I broke many of them just doing day-to-day activities; it would always catch a corner, or snag on something. The glass lenses were beat to hell and I usually broke the wrist band so I stopped wearing them.
A few weeks ago my MIL gave me a galaxy smart watch that my FIL no longer wore. Its been a bit of an adjustment getting used to wearing a watch again. I do like that it counts my steps, gives me reminders to stand up and I can log my water intake. Its surprisingly motivating to get me to be a bit more active.

good luck owning a Patek Philippe ——-> when I was in business, one of my customers was a "Chronograph Afficianano" he showed me his collection of 8 watches. Total estimated value = about $4 million
this was NOT one of them

bomber pilots used to have to time their drops since there was no gps.. that and no pressure in the cabin makes it cold AF so the chronograph buttons are on the left side of the watch to be able to use your right thumb while wearing gloves.
Interesting. Cool to learn. My great uncle was a flight engineer/top gunner in a B-24 Liberator.

Yes, you're missing everything.
A mechanical watch is complicated and impressive, a cell phone will always be just a cell phone.
High end mechanical watches tend to go up in value, where as your cell phone will probably be obsolete and worthless next year.
A nice mechanical watch says you have style, panache and appreciate the finer things, your cell phone is boring, common and just about every homeless person has one. lol

Y'all don't laugh. Or at least don't point at me while you laugh.
This is my daily. The wife (then girlfriend) gave it to me in 1988 and I've worn it since then.

zero chance i'd laugh at that.. that thing is awesome!
careful with that bracelet.. would hate for it to break apart on you and possibly get lost!
