This is what I'd do: Used Fujifilm GFX-50R with a 50mm 3.5

You've already said your current set up covers 99% of your needs. Why buy more gear?

You re right! It doesn't have to be photography gears. It can be any other toys indeed. The reason of asking for gear advice /ideas is because one of my top ideas is to upgrade or get some gears I always want with the budget. And since this is a gear forum, I try to be relevant here.

My second idea is actually to buy a nice entry level "luxury" watch.

So, no to my suggestion of a GFX50R? This will actually give you something different. Forget the watch…

I too would second the idea of a less frequently used but different setup such as the GFX, versus a watch because a Timex will do the same thing for pocket change, comparatively. However at this point, I suspect it's not about accurate indication of time.

The thing with a lower end luxury watch is it isn’t going to be enough… and that is an expensive rabbit hole to go down.  I’d avoid that by all means.
