I think you're right and I'd like to get to the stage where once I do get one, I get over the fact of its value and enjoy it as it should be enjoyed. Like you, if I get one it will be with me for life.
I just have to get past the mental (and real life) jump of a $400 watch to a $4000 watch. I just looked at the cost of a new one here in Toronto and after taxes they're $7700!

So you want to buy a Rolex but want to try some others first. Face it, are you going to buy it now or after your next promotion. If next try not to emmerse yourself in too many omegas or things that look like what you ultimately want.
Edit. As @freddo says some of the seven can be got rid of as not really important to you.

If you're not planning on selling it then it doesn't really matter if it isn't permanently in mint condition.

Seven watches isn’t too many by any stretch, especially when some are sentimental. If you want a grail watch and it’s not taking food out of your kid’s mouth, go for it.
It took me a long long time to save for my Speedmaster and I do get a bit twitchy about dinging it but that’s also part of the buzz of wearing it. It’ll pass after the first chip and I’m 99% sure it’s with me ‘till I’m pushing daisies so don’t let that put you off.
I’m 40 next year and will mark it with a watch but I can’t for the life of me narrow down what I want. Mega first world problems.
