The entirety of joy in a nice watch to me is the timelessness/longevity of it. I bought a rolex several years ago with the intention of giving it to my son at some point in his life. Ive worn it the better part of a decade. I have the porsche design chrono my mother gave my father in the 70s, both semi recently deceased. Its just an object but i treasure it. Fake just has no value to me no matter how good, made with care, by people who care, at a place with history matters to me for this sort of thing. I don't care what others value, buy what you like.

THe general public arnt really impressed by Submariners or yellow lamborghinis in the year 2024. Buy both if you like them but your neighbors probably dont give a flying damn. A tesla and the latest Iphone will get you more street cred in modern society.
