Reality and sanity does help a lot.
My family esp my daughter keeps me in check. Gotta think about her educations funds in the future given that they are spiraling like crazy and far more faster than that pay check.
The world timer would have to be put on the back burner for now....

Buy the piano - this from a musician's wife
My husband came from very humble origins. When he was a little bit younger than you, he returned to his family's apartment one evening to find that his music teacher had purchased for him as a gift a used Steinway M (or equivalent of that era) - probably at a good price from a musician or family down on their luck. 50 years later that piano is still with him. it was waiting for him when he returned from military service in Vietnam. It was moved to walkup apartments in New York and Boston (our local piano movers are known as "Death Wish" movers) . When in the 1970s he was down to his last 100 dollars, he didn't sell the piano, he got a day job. During his working years he composed music on it at night and on weekends. When he retired he had a second career as an accompanist and vocal coach.
There is a season of life for fine watches, and that season will come to you all too soon.
Just my opinion,

Piano or Urwerk?
Plenty of pianos in the world, not so many of these ... but on the other hand, I'm 60 and not likely to become a world famous pianist.
All I have to dream of is my (in)fame as a Purist.

whats the hurry? i was still wearing a Swatch chronograph..
..at the age of 21 and it was quartz and it was special because it was purchased during my flight back to Canada where i studied and it was Japan Airlines and there was this pretty Japanese air stewardess who sold it to me and i wore it for close to 5 years and i still have whats left of the watch. You are right there must be priorities in life to be straighten out first. To start off, you may not even need to decide on whether it be a Rolex or an AP when u reach 21 or from receiving your first pay cheque. there is no need to envy what others have and yes, from your subject matter you should learn to be happy with what you have and too intense comparison will definitely make things worse. with a piano, i am sure many Rolexes will follow suit or maybe some APs too. just my 2 cents.
