This is the first and most important factor to consider. A watch should be something you enjoy, not something you have to fork out a kidney for. Don't be envious of wealthier peers because, unlike what some over-enthusiastic collectors are wont to suggest, it’s perfectly okay to have a small budget. I knew I didn’t want to spend too much (believe it or not, writers don’t get paid a lot) and kept my budget to under S$500. That said, if you have deeper pockets, your options increase proportionately. So know what’s available in your price range and focus your search there - you'd be surprised at what you can find.
