I have one pretty high end watch; it Is my favorite and I love it, but I love the hobby because you can find really cool watches for anywhere from $150 all the way up to the cost of a house. I also enjoy learning about the history of brands, and the movements, etc.
What I find many people doing, however, is buying POS watches that look cool but are junk companies that have no history, and just started advertising on Facebook (MVMT is the one I’m referring to) whereas if they did a little research they could find a quality piece for the same price.
One of my favorites in my collection cost $180; so you can really get into the hobby without breaking the bank.
