the fun part (for me) is when it gets real nerdy. like I want a vintage tank but it has to be a tank Louis from a specific year so it has a specific movement in it and size. then for the rich folk they can pick between whether the tank was made in Paris, or in London which has a huge price variation.

in Rolexes it gets as wild as a little symbol on the dial that you barely notice.

then there’s military issue watches and all the interesting things that come with them.

it’s a cool hobby if you like to be a nerd. for other people it’s just jewelry and that’s okay too.

I understand it moreso as like a hobby thing

But I just meant for the most part the reason people buy expensive watches is because other people will see that they have expensive watches

I doubt rich guys as a whole are just all weirdly obsessed about like the mechanics and craftsmanship of watches
