I've learned a lot over the past few years.
Especially that I just buy watches when I am 100% (not 99%!!) passionate about this model.
If it's not 100% for my heart, I pass.
All acquisitions where I had to persuade myself “intellectually” to buy a certain watch (following the taste or opinion of others, hoping to see an increase in value, getting hold because of its rarity or buying it for a certain utility value or the like) have not passed the test of time.
I no longer take these detours. 😎
