Nah.... there's the other monster known as Fountain pens.... or pens.

Also: Art, doesn't matter what form. Materials in general are expensive, whether it's digital or not. (Tho digital is slightly cheaper long term depending on whether you use a subscription based program or not)

Idk if fountain pens are as expensive as million dollar watches. I don't think any hobby comes close

If you take it seriously, it’s ultra expensive. Karting is around 250 - 300k usd a season, and that’s for someone at like four or five years old. F3 or higher goes in tenths of millions.

I have a dirt cheap race car that I've split with a couple friends. Through a grand total of three races we're each in 5 figures and that is just parts

I'm gonna sit back and enjoy the popcorn until someone says that collecting private islands are their current hobby alongside with buying yachts.

Came here to say the same thing. There's always something better and unattainable with the watch hobby...

Guns, keyboards, and 40K

I also have a car that I plan to start building soon.

My cheapest hobby is disc golf and league buy I blow too much money on those by choice >.>

Hobbies are expensive because it’s hard to settle for less when you know there’s better

As the great Nick Shabbaz once said, "For the love of God, don't get into wrist watches... you can't afford it!"

For me it is Gaming PCs, Fuji digital and Leica analog Camera equipment, keyboards, my MTB, a Vespa and collecting Knives and Adidas boost sneakers…

Sure is. I wouldn’t say it’s a grail, it’s in the league with Mako and budget aluminium trainers
