Unnecessary luxury choice problem. (lemmy.world)

I wanted a Rolex yellow OP when it came out, waited for a year for it but then it got discontinued. I changed my 'reservation' to a DJ41 green mint. Waited 2 years for that and I guess the market cooled and I'm allowed to buy one. But should I? I really have a hard time struggling to know if I want the watch because I like it, or just because I've waited so long for it and it was a very wanted item during the pandemic. It might be a bit too big for me, but it's a sturdy good watch, but it might be too flashy, but it's a classic, but it's a lot of money... Anyways I still have a few days to decide. Not sure if there's a solution to make a choice I won't feel icky about later on. "Should/shouldn't have gotten it".

If you lose it can you replace it and not worry about cost? Would the functionality of a smart watch be a better use of money? If you buy it and have second thoughts, can you return it? Do you actually want the Rolex? And can you get it second hand?

I'd be mad like hell if I'd lose it, for a lifetime, but I'll live. I hate notifications of my phone so no smartwatch please. I can't return it but might be able to sell without loss. I think I want it but have trouble picking cornflakes, choices are hard for me. I can get it secondhand but it's gonna cost more secondhand. 😁 Loved the questionnaire. 🙏🏻
