It'd be cool to have some feedback. Pic related is my poorfag collection. The casio I bought used and the seiko and citizen were gifts.

I read a lot of advice given online that you should avoid buying cheap watches and save up for the next tier of watches. This makes sense in some ways but it also really hammers home that these things are flashy consumerist fetishes, where there are tiers and boxes to be ticked. I like the idea that you get a watch simply because you like it, regardless of the price. many watches from the big brands are as ugly as sin to me. And just looking for whatever watch from them you find the least ugly and possesses the most "value" seems ridiculous.

However, on the flip side, part of the irrational romanticism of these things is that you can potentially have them for decades and pass them onto your children, which is more easily achieved with higher quality watches.

What are you all's thoughts? I'd like to get a watch to commemorate finishing grad school in year and change from now, and have my eye on a Citizen NB1060-12L, but I'm wondering if I'd be better off getting something "better" like a Sinn or Oris.

I'm also thinking of getting an Orient bambino but wondering if it'd be worth it
