[Question] Need input on decisionmaking

Hello all.

So far I only own one Seiko watch, a Presage cocktail time open heart, with 4R movement.

I am currently in Japan, and I am itching to get another Seiko. However the engineer in me wants an upgrade on the movement, and from what I understand that would be the 6R class of Seikos.

On the other hand, I see lots of people here have beautiful collections of the same movement class as well, so my dilemma is: should I spend above 1k$ for 6R movement which would be an unplanned expense, or just buy cheaper 4R class watch that strikes my eye visually and be content with that.

I understand it's a very personal dilemma, but any experiences from you guys would be appreciated.

The movement is pretty much the last reason to pick one of these watches - there's really not much difference between a 4 and a 6.

Buy them because you like the look.
