I bought a wg daytona used because I love it, it's a good investment, it can be insured, and enjoyed at the same time!
Sometimes I feel it's a bit much when I'm around people who I know make 2x more then me and wear say datejusts or I see peers of mine wearing datejusts. But I just remind myself that it's a good investment that I was able to make and am still very financially sound (equity in house, savings for sons college, paid off cars, retirement savings...)

I think the whole formula thing is silly. Buy what you can comfortably afford. If you have doubt's beyond normal buyer's remorse after you make the purchase, you may have purchased too much watch for your budget. When you look at your watch it should bring you joy and happiness, not regret!!
I love the Daytona and had an SS one for a month. They are beautiful and distinctive but attract way too much attention. I sold it for more than I paid and miss it every day!

P.S. I currently have a Breitling Colt, Tutima DI300 in Titanium, Oris Williams - F1 in CF, Fortis Spacematic 42, A couple of quartz Tag-Heuer's, and a handful of automatic Invicta's.
