Once you account for that, the cost for owning such watches melts away.

Trust me the joy of looking at a beautifully made mechanical watch is worth the expense and it doesn't have to be the most expensive one that brings the most pleasure. The difference between my two favorite ones is almost 10x.
Do you buy your watches used? At estate sales? On line? Brick and mortar stores? All the above?
