How much do you need to make to justify a 1K+ watch?

Doesn’t matter as long as you pay it off when you buy it and it doesn’t affect any bills.

Once I started making enough for a 5k+ watch, I no longer cared and felt it was a poor use of money and invested instead.

you can make min wage if you're good at saving and have patience

Buy what you want and what you can afford. If you can’t pay cash, don’t buy it. The more you make, the less affordable it will seem, because the more you make and the more mature you become...you realize it’s really not that important to buy a $1k watch.

I once had some ‘neck call me an spoiled rich kid brat for spending $150 on a round of golf all while he was driving a $60,000 truck pulling a $70,000 bass boat prob all financed for the rest of his life.

My wife says I've gotten cheap. It's not that, I just dont care enough about pricey stuff. I prefer preowned vehicles and modestly priced clothing.

A watch is anachronistic, like expensive high karat gold and mined gemstone jewelry.

You probably own more things of substance that keep time than not. As much as we joke about it, a $1000 smartphone (at least if you keep it 3 or 4 years) is going to do a lot more for you than a $500 watch even, much less a $1000, $5000, $10k, etc., watch, even if those watches last 40 or 50 years.

Having said that, I'm not going to be "that guy" who spends other people's money for them. While I would not recommend financing such a purchase, if you can otherwise afford it and make it priority, then knock yourself out. Just recall it is merely jewelry that also tells time at this point.
