You should never buy a watch that you need to save up for, any watch you buy should be comfortably covered by your monthly paycheck.
Anything else outs you as the autistic manchild with no money sense who hoards his pennies for months and months only to spunk it on a piece of jewelry.

After lurking for long and having a good amount of insight in watches i just can't feel not robbed when i pay for a watch that has some basic bitch, super plain automatic in it, but still costs a bit under 1000$.
(I chose 1000 because i believe that is what you meant with not "overdoing it")
I know that brands have all kinds of costs that they need to cover and obviously they cant just price stuff just a bit above production costs. But i just don't see a point to support this kind of business model by overpaying for certain models.

Correct, but some watches are especially overpriced. But we are losing the point here.
The main point is, it has nothing to do with self respect how much you spend on materialistic things. That is some ages old boomer propaganda from times where the industry was not full of lies and spending more money actually correlated more with getting better quality.
Now it's a different situation and the cost of quality production is lower than ever but the prices keep rising.

Example: Swiss watches
>only 60% of the parts need to be swiss to get the label "swiss made"
The rest comes from asia, still i'm paying as if that thing was fully made in switzerland.

I used to think an expensive watch was required. I've now changed: wearing an expensive watch makes those below you resent you, and never impresses anyone above you.

More compliments on my casio than any other watch.

"I like your watch anon! What is it?"
" Thanks! It's an old Rolex w a nato band"

Just got my Speedie Pro in last Thursday. It already has its own dedicated drawer compartment in my dresser, I’ve read every page of the included ‘Legendary Speedmaster’ booklet, I’ve wound it every morning as a ritual and wore it after work in the evenings on and off. Still pinching myself to have THEE grail - and the quintessentially American ‘Swiss Made’ piece, in a sense, if that makes sense. Lol. What a dream come true. Always loved manual wind chrono’s. Now I own the ultimate example. Timeless and flawless design; unmatched history. Perfection. Blessed. Truly blessed.

What watch?

Do people notice it or not when you wear it?

And how'd you get rich enough to do this shit

I've got the less-fancy version of that one.
Works well. No frills. Never gets noticed, in a good way or bad. It's just... a practical watch.

Get him a GW-M5610, it's radio controlled & solar powered. Plus its smaller profile means it won't get caught on shit all the time.

It will. (If you have stage 4 pancreatic cancer.)

I started with a 5610, but dropped it once I saw the slimmer cf band on the 30th anniversary, then this one. This one's way tougher and more comfortable for where I wear it behind my wrist bone. The only people who will notice it are guys who are into g's, but specifically squares since it's kinda rare. I think it's badass but still low-key, almost like an F-91W

It's also twice the price.

Yeah I get it. Worth it for me though since I wear it constantly
