looking @ your signature, if you have purchased them all brand new @ current pricing, your watch collection is estimated to be at about 45000*assuming that you get pretty good discount on your pieces. so if we work out the avg pricing of the 5 rolex you have, it is about 9k. so your annual income is about 200k?

however, your signature also list "MORE", which makes me think you could be earning more.

I spent about 5%. Maybe my annual income is high.

Words of wisdom.. can't be wrong.. HAHAHAH

Watches, Wheels, Wines and Women... rightfully, each W should take up 25% of the annual income...for you case, 10% is way below 25%....now you see the justification? hahahaa...

just a general question to ask u guys out there...
how many % of ur annual income do you spend on ur watches per year?

because..i am about to spend 10% of that and i still cant justify it...

It depends... for me, 10-20% generally. More on better times.

like i used to say...we men are victims of 4Ws...

HAHA.. bro.. it all depends on your how comfortable the expense will be to your savings, lifestyle and pocket.

Of course even if your pocket is deep but you are very careful with you money, the pinch will definitely be felt when you purchase a big ticket item for the first time...

But if you are the sole bread winner, have 3 kids and a maid to look feed etc.. then you should probably think carefully if this expense is logical / permissible.

Some even spend >25% of their annual salary (excluding bones and AWS lah) but are loving every moment of it.

It is a perception from you the owner, how much you like the watch, do you find it practical or not?

Like I mentioned above, some spend >25% but most of the time will only wear it on weekends (for fear of damaging the watch if used daily) / even wear it daily if the watch complements their work dressing and life style, can still justify the purchase.
Some spend ard 10% (like you potentially) will wear it daily as they feel they MUST make their money worth. To each their own, you have to feel its right...

Watcha (punt intended) looking at bro?
