Time to work, money has to come from somewhere for this passion of expensive watches. 😬

Well, expensive to me. This is what I can afford.

Key Points from the Discussion

The true cost of luxury watch ownership extends beyond the timepiece itself, encompassing a lifestyle of complementary accessories and experiences.
The Cartier Santos holds a significant place as a foundational luxury watch for many collectors, often being their first significant acquisition.
A common consideration for potential Cartier Tank Must XL owners is its aesthetic similarity to other iconic rectangular watches, such as the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, and whether it offers sufficient differentiation for a collection.
