Any watch snobs or saltwater aquarium fanatics on here?

I’ve tried freshwater so many times with 0 success. Can’t wait to get back into saltwaterI have a couple watches, a freshwater tank, and a betta tank. Unfortunately, none of these things are all that impressive
I’ve never tried saltwater, I just have my 20gal tank with a couple mollies, a red fin shark, and a pleco. Fun little tank.I’ve tried freshwater so many times with 0 success. Can’t wait to get back into saltwater
Feel free to message me anytime with questions! I’ve been in the saltwater hobby for over 10 years. I HIGHLY recommend an innovative marine aquarium as the HOB stuff is not a good choice for saltwater.Haha - I was never a watch snob, but I've owned 2 Breitlings, a Rolex Sub, a Baume & Mercier Capeland S, a Tissot and an Oris TT1 XXL. These have all since been sold and I hope to one day own another Breitling as my one and only nice watch.
But saltwater aquariums are something I'd like to get into! I've scoured the internet to find the best way to start and have seen so much information. I think I'm going to do a 13-gallon tank with all HOB equipment to start with, try a few corals and live rock and then see how that goes.
$$ is a huge concern now and every dime we make and save is going toward the future purchase of a home in Mexico. But I'd like to one day buy a used Breitling Super Avenger for about $3,500 and spend less than $250 on a starter saltwater tank.
This post caught my eye with both a longtime passion and a new one!
Am I missing something? How do these things go hand in hand?
I own a few watches. A SS Sub, a TT Sub (blue,) a YM2 Yellow Gold, a Milgauss, and I've been eyeballing a batman for a while. Also a couple of Tissot T Touch models which I love when I'm traveling.
Snob, no? But I like watches.
Thanks for that! I read that a drilled, reef ready aquarium with sump pump is the best for saltwater, but I want to start small and as inexpensively as possible. The all-in-one cubes can be had used for a decent price. What do you think of those?Feel free to message me anytime with questions! I’ve been in the saltwater hobby for over 10 years.

As for the Breitling, that is a great choice!
I would like to pick up a 1675 Pepsi, but they're tough to find in really good condition where you're not being price gouged.Still saving for my first Rolex. Looking at an OP39 grape. After that I’m going for a Pepsi
I have had both and I definitely love having a sump but honestly anything 30 gallons or less I think an all in one (without any lights) is by far the best option. Innovative marine has the best all in one systems. I recommend the 10 gallon or 20 gallon fusion. They cost from $100-300 and a separate light would cost around $130-200 and you’ll be good to go.Thanks for that!

I rarely wear my Apple Watch. I’m currently chasing a Tag Heuer Carbon Edition. Saw one in Toronto and loved it but I didn’t have the means to purchase it at the time.Got a Rolex, a Tag and a limited edition Tissot, also got a smartwatch that was a freebie with a phone but can't remember the last time I wore it
And then my Garmin golf watch
That sounds doable! Do they come with protein skimmers? Can you recommend a light that is good with coral and live rock?I have had both and I definitely love having a sump but honestly anything 30 gallons or less I think an all in one (without any lights) is by far the best option.
