He certainly understands value. When design meets function and style with great aesthetic balance and precision it can become timeless...but only time tells, that's why vintage pieces stand up, they continue to inspire over time..or not. Old money families will have more exposure to vintage pieces and it follows that they are wealthy, but riches are found in the appreciation and beauty of the culture involved in creating and then refining the piece. When you're truly inspired by falling in love, by truly appreciating what you want, that's when the motivation sets in. It's knowing what you want and recognising the sacrifices to go for it, it can consume one in the guilty wrestle inherent to burning time and energy on a selfish pursuit, but if the greater good is leaning towards beauty, then perhaps aspiration starts to trump inspiration.

The correct reference of the Steel Lange 1 is 101.026, not "8020" - the movement serial number.

Not as inspiring knowing he didn’t work he’s ass off for years to buy a watch, basically just another rich guy that has an expensive taste. If I asked my dad for $50 he’d hit me and take $50

FActs. Plus the lesson his family taught him by buying it but keeping it in their safe till he pays it off is valuable. Even if Ice Cubes dad aint rich, he could do that to a lessor extent with him and teack him a valuable lesson

Ice Cube that mentality of yours is probably why you’re not rich like him. Learn from the already successful and go through everything their going through, it includes the pain and struggles.

I own a Citizen, which I bought for only €83 (~$100). I bought it after a Seiko I owned (bought for €150) got stolen from a foolish mistake of mine (I was only 24). I love my Citizen so much, because I haven't paid a lot and it looks so much more expensive. I had tourists from France admiring it and saying that it should be quite expensive, other people mistaking it for a Rolex. In the end I understood that we give worth to the watch. A watch should just be of good quality and show precisely the time, everything else is optional.

I wish all watch collectors understand that the value is in the stories behind the watch and not the price of the watch, that's what makes it special.
