There is a certsin flavour in your words, that I personally dislike but there is "some" truth in it.
If you drive an car, that is worth as much as your watch, sit in an rented flat and usually struggle to pay bills, then forget your expensive watch idea.

Thats not the way we do it, that wear those watches. Some of us have assets, no loans whatsoever and therefor have income from multiple sources. There is no need to even try to keep up or measure yourself with some of us.

So for your better understandig: It is normal NOT to sport an 20k watch at a young age. I know some do but as mentioned, have an whole different financial background.
Focus first on the house, look to pay it off as fast as you can, then consider a freaking 20k watch. Heck, buying such a thing in the wrong neighbourhood can get you easely robbed or killed! The thing is: Everything needs its healthy balance. Like ying & yang! For a 20k watch, you need a house, a gate infront of your house. A few cars, the right neighbourhood and maybe an G-wagon.
Eventhough the last sentence was ment to brighten the readers mood, it still has some serious meaning to it. Just live within your means.
To sum it up:

Rule #1
Paying rent = No 20k watch
Rule #2
Paying loan of your car= Rule #1
Rule #3
No assets= Rule #1

Keep your feets flat on the ground, focus your realistic goals and keep the faith.
