Go for bracelet. You can always buy different straps down the road.
Sure you can always buy a bracelet, but it's usually pretty expensive to buy one after the fact, and cheaper just to buy one from the beginning.
So that is what I would recommend
Just save! It will be worth it. I waited years for the Speedy.
I bought it for my 30th. So I would agree that would be a great goal to set for yourself.
I would maybe even consider skipping the Hamilton if that would help you get the PO quicker.
I bought too many watches over the years to help fill the void and all that did was set me back further from getting the Speedy.
I spent way too much money in my 20's as well.
I have really tried to cut back this past year, or at least be more aware of my spending.
I paid off some debt and consolidated a couple credit cards into one with a balance transfer to a new card with no interest for a while.
So now I just have the one card I'm not using and paying that down every month and then the one credit card I use for everything else (AMEX) that I pay at the end of every month.
I also take out $100 at the beginning of every month to use on little things here and there, because those are the things that really add up.
It is helping me keep track of things better.
It's so easy to just swipe swipe swipe.
Today I finally bought my dream watch! I had an unexpected bonus earlier in the year that gave me an accelerated boost to saving towards my goal. I also took your advice skipped the Hammy (each month I would take out enough money that could buy the Hammy and put it in savings) I went to a Jeweler who is one of the few authorized Omega retailers in Indianapolis and tried on a couple different watches and glad I did, because originally my mind was set on the planet ocean. However it was not the right watch for me, very thick and top heavy and I’m glad I was able to try it on. They did have a seamaster that caught my eye and I had to try it on and it was love at first sight lol. Much better fit on my wrist and I like what they did to the model for the newer 2018+ models. Very happy I skipped the Hammy as I was able to get my dream watch just some months later. Early birthday gift to myself and you guys were right it definitely is an awesome feeling!
