For instance i know Rolex stays at the top for having great quality...
but how others fare?
like IWC? Tag Heuer? Bell & Ross? Seiko? Tissot? Etc?
Is there a site where i can learn the pros/cons of each brand/make?
Then of course there's those that i doubt i will be able to afford in 3 generations like Patek Phillippe
So any info would be great..or if you have it off your head, even better!
Am currently deciding between IWC or Rolex..then casual wear between Tissot and/or Tag Heuer?

Hamilton Khaki Aviation/Field Murph are awesome too. These are from the movie "Interstellar". Still trying to achieve my milestone so that I can own one more timepiece like that. Its poisonous because it is finely made timepiece, "Art"

Apple Watch is the best ya’ll. Don’t waste your money on expensive watches as there is a hidden cost of ownership like the watch servicing every few years or so.
I have been keeping all my expensive stuff in the safe and wore my T-Touch Expert and Apple Watch out instead.

But some people just like being an enthusiast who enjoy owning a luxury car or in our case, timepiece that we see it as an "Art". Everyone has got their own "Lux" or "Fancy" side.

Then I realize that expensive watches that costs more than a Proton and luxury cars that cost more than a medium cost studio apartment is a waste of money. Trust me, I have been there and done that. And I regretted it a lot. The money could easily be used to finance your travels or your kid’s education. This post has been edited by friedricetheman: May 18 2019, 11:38 AM

But for people who is quite successful now earning above average, they definitely wouldnt mind spending few in stuff like that. My friend who used to live with me bought a Hublot recently. Owns 2 companies, driving decent E class. They dont mind haha. I would cry.

Probably your friend belongs to the top 0.0000001% to be able to feel zero buyer’s remorse as even John Mayer once also felt some buyer’s remorse buying some of his watches. So your friend > John Mayer and other multi millionaires as your friend has so much money that he didn’t even flinch when he took out cash to buy his E class and Hublot watch.
