My grails would be the IWC Eternal Calendar 
And Rolex Panerai 6152 (1950's) 
And steel Daytona 126500 
(also like the 116660 Sea Dweller)

You can't directly finance a watch, you need leverage from another place - homeowner's line, unsecured personal line of credit, etc.

These are all great choices. If I saw you had a JLC reverso, I’d be like … a man of fine taste I see. The watchmakers watchmaker. They supply a lot of movements to high end brands.
I’m more of an omega guy myself so any speedy I think is the perfect start to collection.
gs is good but niche and nobody knows what it is other than if you know you know guys. | HELOC, LOC, and some used websites let you finance with like sezzle pay, afterpay, affirm, etc
I've heard ppl swipe a $10K Explorer and pay it back at 24% in a year just because allocation came before their milestone

jesus if i had to buy a watch on credit id buy a Timex or something. Makes no sense to go into debt buying something like this unless you have an "in" like a steel daytona comes up and you get it at MSRP but you're flat broke (which makes no sense cuz how did you get the allocation then?)
ugh that's trying a bit too hard to keep up with the jones. Just wear what you can afford. to be honest if you cant afford to lose it, don't buy it/wear it.

I love Seiko as a brand, but I would only buy a Grand Seiko if I was visiting the Studio Shizukuishi factory and buy one at the factory itself so there's a story attached to it.
Buying one here just feels like buying an overpriced Seiko with nicer finishing... it feels like you're always punching up trying to tell people about it, they just hear "Seiko" and forget the Grand part unless ike Hobz said they're a real "iykyk" person. Quote:

At least I made money off my indecisiveness 3 times now hahaha!
My financial advisor is proud of me. I mean... he didn't actually say he was, but I can hear it in his voice.

I wouldn't explain to people that it's a Grand Seiko, IF they recognize the snowflake, then you can have the convo. Otherwise just say it's a Seiko.
Similar to telling people what you drive, I default to old Honda and a Hyundai Econbox. If they follow-up I tell them it's the grotesque veloster from 2010
Absolutely no point in explaining further except for maybe ego

| This is a cool IG account with a lot of just basic videos of some very cool watches in action.
Note I watch it on mute, so don't blame me if it's some annoying dork talking over it 
This Seiko Credor with porcelain dial is so nice
