I mean you can do both, having nice things and having emergency money aren’t mutually exclusive.

I have no problem going from my $1400 watch to my $200 watch, price isn’t a deciding factor when I choose what watch to wear.
I don’t care if people wear fake watches as long as they own up to it.
People use the word grail too lightly. I don’t care how broke you are (because I’m not rich either), a $500 watch that you can get at the department store is not worthy of being called a grail. A true grail should be a pipe dream fantasy for 99.9% of people. All of the watches I consider to be grails are comfortably six-figures and I’ll never come close to being able to own them. Anything you can attain at some point is a goal.
You aren’t a true watch enthusiast if you hate everything outside of a very specific genre. Be more open minded to what is out there, not everything has to be a <40mm white metal time only monochrome dial watch on a leather strap. You wouldn’t call someone a foodie if they only liked one kind of food would you?
I might have some others but those are kinda my top three spiciest ones.
I really can’t narrow it down to just one, so my top three grails are:
I will most certainly never own any of these because they are all fuck off expensive and fuck off rare, but to me that’s kinda the point of a grail, something that’s fun to daydream about but you’ll probably never actually have.
Sorry, I did you dirty by pulling that number out of my ass. I haven’t found anything to really go on, all the listings I see for similar watches are for the solid gold ones, or quartz ones. I see a few listings for just the movement on eBay for anywhere from $60 to $120, so I could possibly see the full watch going for a couple hundred to the right person. $200 may be pushing it given the condition and unknown status of the movement in terms of servicing.
I wouldn’t expect more than like $20 tbh.
For me the best looking Rolex is the bluesy sub
