Hi guys! I hope my question is okay to ask in this sub.

I would like to buy my first „luxury“ watch in a few months and was looking at a specific Omega watch - but the price increase was just a bit too much for me. I could afford it but don’t want to spend that much.

I found another watch „Longines Primaluna“ for around 1500€. It‘s a battery watch and I know it’s not as good as an Omega or an automatic watch.

An older friend of mine (60+, old fashioned) is a watchmaker and absolutely ripped me to shreds for thinking about buying it. Wouldn’t be worth it and no resale value.

Am not someone who wants to resell something and I know I will never get as much back as I paid for with that watch but I still thought it was a somewhat decent watch.

Do you guys think it’s an absolute waste of money or okay to buy if I like it? :) Wouldn‘t want to buy something that is really as bad as he said.
