Premium Watches to buy.

[Frodo-anni]

A watch to appreciate in value would have to be a Rolex surely.

A Rolex is out of my price range, but I am looking at Omegas, I just can't decide on a speedy with hesalite crystal or a planet ocean. That would be regularly worn and handed down in the future.

Relatively little appreciates, bar some quite niche runs of "classics", but takes time - and you need to have not worn them too much.
Have a 1969 Seamaster Cosmic with a silver dial, which I love. Also got a new Rolex Oyster Perpetual with a dark rhodium dial and the blue indicators, which I use more often as it's much more resilient. If you fancy something that stands out, I nearly bought a Rolex Milgauss.

I managed to bag myself a stainless steel Rolex Daytona about 4 years ago at just over list price. A new version was launched about a year ago and the old version shot up 20% overnight for a nice used one

Unfortunately the wait for a new one is stretching to many years unless you are VERY well connected

Agree that stainless Rolex’s are the way to go

I'm against the grain with Rolexes.   They might be a good investment if you have enough surplus capital to sink into it, but imo they are ugly and crass wrist bling for Bentley boy footballers 

I'd rather sink the money into precious metals or cyber currency.

Not a fan of any of the Seamasters personally, I’d rather a Submariner or the GMT ll if we’re talking looks.

Can’t beat a classic Casio though

Submariner looks better, but the way the bezel transitions into a much narrower strap, looks awkward.   The bezel looks nice though, almost a spit of the Seamaster!

I dunno, I just like the coherence of the Seamaster.  I know it's not the don of watches, but as an all round dress watch and a step into premium wrist bling, it's OK.

It just seems to me that the more expensive the watch, the uglier it is.  The upper end Breitlings being a good example.  God they are hideous things and like wearing a saucer on your wrist, inviting a good mugging.  There's just no need 

Casio.....now you're talking!  And Citizen 

I remember my Grandad wearing one of these and thinking how crap it was, but now.......I love them weirdly enough.  I like retro tat!

I am in the market for a new Sports Watch along the Omega/Rolex style like Submariner Planet Ocean or similar.
I would like it to be like my other Omega Seamaste which is now worth more than i paid for it 11 years ago. So what do you guys suggest ? Max budget say £8-10k.
Also what about Ladies Rolex/Omega , similar budget..
It is more of an investment and something nice to wear occasionally rather than having cash sitting doing very little. So when the need comes it could be sold for similar or more.
Thanks

Perhaps I will hang onto my Semenmaster for a bit longer then.   Just seen a few going for £3K 

"Semenmaster" ....a wrist watch for wankers?   

Unfortunate auto complete buddy!

I believe @Pudding may be a fan of Finbarr Saunders.

Nah, I typed Semenmaster deliberately.  That's how my mind works I'm afraid    I'm just a little bit odd, in case you hadn't noticed

I've never read Viz.  Shocking, I know!
