As for a $20k watch? I'd base it on a % of earnings/month over time and cost it out. For example, if I wear it twice - I just paid $10k each time I wore it. If I wear it everyday for 3 years (roughly 1000 days) then its $200 each wear. You get the idea. Pretty standard finance/accounting stuff.
Based on this, unless my earnings made it reasonable - I would not likely buy a watch at such a high cost.
If you can justify it then go for it!

Ive ruined too many watches, both cheap and expensive, at work to wear an expensive one too often. If i know I'm staying in the office or going to meetings all day, I'll wear an expensive one but if I'm going to be out in the field, cheap it is.
