And thanks, Fernando, for reminding us that " golden " rule.
For example, I spent even less than your Tudor Chrono, with the RCAF Breitling Chronomonopusher, and I can tell you that the pleasure I felt, once I found it, was immense, and absolutely not proportionned to the money it costed me.
In these difficult financial times, it is most than important to say that kind of things.
Now, I would also, with pleasure, take some financial risks on some Vintage or Modern watches I'm hunting for a long time.
Call it madness, Passion is never a quiet river.
There is a watch I painfully miss in my collection, a watch I lost: The Langematik Anniversary. Not the most expensive of my wish list, but far from being the most affordable, too.
Yes, money has nothing to see with pleasure, but sometimes, it helps.
It just doesn't shorten my passion and love on watches.
Best,
Nicolas.
