Saw an ad on the tram for this and thought, "yeah that looks amazing! I should get one." Sadly it's $15k and that is definitely not happening

I agree. I have 3 watches and that's enough. Plenty of great stuff on YouTube for aficionados.

Any watch I want I either can’t afford (Patek) or won’t let the dealer plow my wife to be offered the chance to buy (Pepsi). So we look at pictures.

I have fallen down a rabbit hole of watch repair videos and am trying to resist the urge to get into it myself to get some old family watches running again.
