Up or down?

[Piefacerecords]

So 2018 was pretty rough year and to celebrate getting through it I wanted to buy a Milgauss. Unfortunately, I live is Aus and the chance of getting anything in steel for your average arsehole off the street is somewhere between buckley’s and none.

Anyway I’ll be hitting a year in remission soon and I figure life’s too short so I’ll have to go up or down market to get something I like. I’ve basically narrowed it down to a Speedmaster Mark II, or a Lange saxonia thin.

Do I buy the sensible Speedmaster and risk not scratching the itch, or go all out on the Lange and risk overspending and having to pay for insurance so I don’t lose $20k on a doorknob?

I’m not going to DavidSW, because to me at least the extra couple of grand is a good chunk of change and I’d feel like a sucker who overplayed for a used watch every time I check my wrist.

So is it up market or down market?
