Well, it’s kind of hard to find a SS Patek 5711 to try on then decide

lol

True enough. It's strange times we live in.
I suppose your scenario serves as a prime example of how to keep the Rif Raf away.
Not everyone is entitled you know, this is despite current popular culture promoting the notion.

Back in my day, we only had the ability to have a watch if a wealthy family member gave us one that was generally cheap but cheery.
We couldn't afford to look sideways in the window of a watch shop. We had to cross the road.
The only watch of note in our entire family that became a full blown family heirloom, was a highly cherished Elgin pocket watch my then young Grandfather won at a Buck Jumping competition over seas back in 1910.
The story behind the watch and around that trip became legend throughout the entire district😉

It's a very different world now👍
