What is it that do you think we would enjoy? Do tell.
You think that spending a 1k on a watch would make us enjoy it more than spending 300? Let's not kid ourselves. What exactly do you think spending a 1k watch would do? More status? This Longines would not buy you that. More accuracy? Maybe, but do you think 3 sec a day is worth 700 in price? So please tell me your logic in your statement and please be realistic and not some idealistic do what you want with your money.
If you've held a Longines in the hand, the quality is definitely better for the price than most brands you'd find in the under $1k range. They also have a long and dignified history, and are very highly respected brand in many parts of the world (such as Asia and the Middle East for example)
Great watch for the price. Will lose value but who cares because buy what you want. Same thing as cars.

It's honestly kind of sad since they rarely ever post actually evidence defending these hot takes.

Now if you did get upper echelon (for what normal folks consider) like Rolex, Cartier, Omega - they do retain their value and thus are better recognized so you literally just haven't money tied up in a watch, but not a bath loss like if you bought most brands. Then service costs are in line with the retained value of the watch.
At least, this is how I understand it and where he is coming from.
Buy what you love, but also don't expect to get anything out of it Unless it is Higher end.

Personally, IMHO, some of the best bang/buck is in this range. My Longines Legend Diver is one of my favorites and I've previously owned 3-hand and chrono hydroconquests and found them very quality watches for the price. I didn't think my black bay was worth nearly double the price I paid for example, but I still like Tudor as a brand too.
Of course to many of my friends a $500 Tissot is a crazy expensive purchase, much less a $5k Omega, so a good deal is a relative thing.
But in the crazy watch world, I think Longines is one of the best positioned brands in their niche - with 1k to $1500 being a sweet spot (on discount of course)
Hmmm...
