    I’m not a big watch guy but I can appreciate the story behind his watches.
    “This last watch I have here is a Casio I purchased at Sears. It was normally 29.99 but on that particular day the sale price was 18.99. I knew I had to have it.”

      Best comment here because it is so true. After 14 years I'm still wearing my 55 dollar watch and I make decent money. It's all about priorities. I invested my monies in a new house and new truck. I'm happy.

And his comments about vintage items telling a story and reflecting a lost time when perfection stood out and had value and individuality... so true!

      He certainly understands value. When design meets function and style with great aesthetic balance and precision it can become timeless...but only time tells, that's why vintage pieces stand up, they continue to inspire over time..or not. Old money families will have more exposure to vintage pieces and it follows that they are wealthy, but riches are found in the appreciation and beauty of the culture involved in creating and then refining the piece. When you're truly inspired by falling in love, by truly appreciating what you want, that's when the motivation sets in. It's knowing what you want and recognising the sacrifices to go for it, it can consume one in the guilty wrestle inherent to burning time and energy on a selfish pursuit, but if the greater good is leaning towards beauty, then perhaps aspiration starts to trump inspiration.

    Hi, just a friendly reminder that on the typo you guys made: the Patek 5711 is not made in 1976. It is a modern watch, but the reference 3700 is from the 1970s.

    • @Typhon132

    • @itsokaylah

      It is a 5711. Therefore, as mentioned above, it is a modern watch, not one from 1976.

So its all relative really, 30K is a nice wrist watch to someone and a decent home for someone else, so naturally, anyone who can splash that much on a wrist watch is rich in my eyes. 5-6 years worth of average wage where I come from, and even that average wage is hard to come by.

I love my Citizen so much, because I haven't paid a lot and it looks so much more expensive. I had tourists from France admiring it and saying that it should be quite expensive, other people mistaking it for a Rolex. In the end I understood that we give worth to the watch. A watch should just be of good quality and show precisely the time, everything else is optional.

But there's just one thing that does bother me a bit. When you're given a IWC for your communion, you're apparently raised in a wealthy family already. It gives you a bit of a flying start. Many people have to work hard for years to even get to the point where he started off. Which again doesn't mean that he just got rich by doing nothing. Not at all. But having money in the first pace does make things easier.
